Warfighter Visualization“Innovative Capabilities for the Warfighter”

Changing Operational Environment

Current State of Navy C4I

• Average time to market: 2-3 years for new capabilities

• Average server age: ISNS - 3+ years, GCCS-M - 7+ years

• Average network age: 6.7 years

• Network FOC Timeline: 4-9 years (in some cases with no refresh)

• Up to 74 separate networks on a US Navy Aircraft Carrier today

• More than 160,000 Afloat Network Users on our Navy’s Ships and submarines

• Deployed bandwidth per sailor is less than that of a typical cell phone.

• On those ships and submarines are over 800 different ApplicationsISNS: Integrated Shipboard Network System - GCCS-M: Global Command & Control System – Maritime - FOC: Full Operational Capability

Systems Answer

Integrated Battlespace Visualization Capability- Integrate All-Source Data (GCCS, AIS, JMPS, IPL, etc.)

Flexible, Adaptable Operator Display• Near real-time to real-time Situational Awareness (SA) capability

• Ability to build tailored display as needed by the situation

• Multi-Functional User Defined Operational Picture (UDOP)

Integrates proven Legacy Systems with New Innovative Technology

Quick Turnaround Applications that are Easy to Use and Understand

Maritime C4I (Joint and Interoperable):­ Multi-Level Security (MLS) Capable – Joint Interoperable ­ Near Real-Time Integrated Battlespace Visualization­ Easily Understood Usable System – Immediate Situational Awareness- Multi-Functional User Defined Operational Picture (UDOP)

­ Information: Who Needs it - When its needed - How its needed

Budget (More Bang for the Buck):­ Reduced Footprint – Less Hardware­ Integrated Systems – Less Networks­ Improved Configuration Management­ IT Cost Reduction

­ Reduced Maintenance­ Reduced Training­ Reduced Manpower Requirements
