Why Dynamic Network Why Dynamic Network ManagementManagement
• Network defines who can transmit when and how
• Network Timeslot Allocation Fixed
• Platforms cannot dynamically join
• Inefficient use of existing throughput
Network Design Facilities
• Combatant Commanders must accurately define:
• Force mix• Network Requirements• Communicate changes
• Network Design Facilities must rapidly develop and transmit new networks
• In-Theater Network SwitchesNetwork Designer F/A-18

Time Slot Reallocation (TSR)
• Current USN TSR Status– Link 16 USN terminals (MIDS and JTIDS Class II)
– Interoperable with but not identical to the Joint Host Demand Algorithm
• Benefits– On Demand Capacity Redistribution
– Common Time Slot Assignments
– Allows for large number of Platforms
– Algorithms (within terminal) will redistribute time slots based on need
• Current Limitations– Requires pre-planning to determine bandwidth of TSR pool
– No reallocation of time slots to different NPGs or platform types
– Limited to two NPGs per terminal
Currently Implemented on E-2C, C2P and F/A-18Currently Implemented on E-2C, C2P and F/A-18

TSR Fleet Introduction
• TSR extensively tested in System Integration Facility
• Test and demonstrate TSR with STENNIS BG November 2003– NDF will be able to distribute networks with TSR on USN
Surveillance pool
• Follow-on testing required to verify performance with E-2C and F/A-18 in FY 04
• Follow-on testing required to verify correct implementation of JHDA into Common Link Integration Processing (CLIP)

Stochastic Unified Multiple Access (SHUMA)
• New Network Protocol Algorithm• ONR Funded through FY04• Expected to provide benefits across various
NPGs– Effort underway to identify targeted applications– Compare to Dedicated, Contention Access, and TSR
• Primarily Lab effort through FY04• Host impact study to determine scope of any
changes required

Summary
• DNM (NCT, SHUMA, TSR) technology development and test underway
• PMW 101/159 Goal: Initial Operational Capability of TSR and NCT in FY 04
• Coordination with Joint and Allied Services is essential– Acceptance– Leverage existing capabilities
No one technology or protocol is the solution to Link 16 DNM
