CWID 2008 Coalition Warrior Interoperability Demonstrator John Davies July 2008 Integrated System Technologies UNCLASSIFIED What is CWID? De-risk Afghanistan 2011 Integrated System Technologies • US Led Interoperability Initiative • MOD / Industry collaborative event • Technology demonstration and field trial • Identify and deliver future military capabilities made possible by Networked Enabled Capability (NEC) • Identify capability gap solutions and innovative opportunities • De-risk Equipment Programme projects • Inform future research and development projects and initiatives UNCLASSIFIED CWID 2007 Integrated System Technologies UNCLASSIFIED CWID 2008 Industry Participants Integrated System Technologies UNCLASSIFIED Integrated System Technologies UNCLASSIFIED QINETIQ: Core Network Integrated System Technologies UNCLASSIFIED QINETIQ: Core Network • Key Features of UK CWID 08 Integrated Network – – – The network had been designed to reflect the information infrastructure in Afghanistan 2011. The initial network architecture reflected some of the known shortfalls with regard to information access and exchange. These shortfalls were addressed during the engineering design to • • • Systems demonstrated: – – – – • • • • • enable the Information Exchange Requirements (IERs) identified by the trails to be realised. To ensure the most accurate representation of the information infrastructure, the use of virtual servers and a common security model have been adopted. Prototype FALCON BOWMAN HF Link 16 Integration of CND and Engineering Management Tools. QinetiQ’s Deployed Network Management Service (DNMS) Minimal Sign-on and cross-forest authentication whilst still delivering autonomy. Provision of Critical Services for Coalition including: – – – – Domain Naming Service Federated Address Book Windows Update Service Anti Virus Update Service Integrated System Technologies UNCLASSIFIED Warrior Vehicle and Bowman Antenna Integrated System Technologies UNCLASSIFIED General Dynamics: Bowman Infrastructure and Services Integrated System Technologies UNCLASSIFIED General Dynamics:Task Interpretation and Management Integrated System Technologies UNCLASSIFIED BAE Systems– FALCON • FALCON – Broadband for the battlespace – IP based network – Replaces legacy Ptarmigan system (Army) – Provided LANs in some HQ areas – LANs connected over radio link (Wide Area System) – Hosted DII(FD) on a FALCON LAN – Testing Juniper WAN Accelerators to maximise bandwidth Integrated System Technologies UNCLASSIFIED Falcon Vehicle and Antenna Integrated System Technologies UNCLASSIFIED BAE Systems Operational Logistics Integrated System Technologies UNCLASSIFIED BAE Systems Operational Logistics Integrated System Technologies UNCLASSIFIED BAE Systems at CWID 08 – ISTAR • Tactical to Strategic Multi Intelligence Hub – Digital Data Depository (D3) - federated Intelligence Reference Library – Quick Query (Q2) - web based search interface – SOCET GXP - image analysis, geospatial analysis and photogrammetry software Integrated System Technologies UNCLASSIFIED D3 / Q2 / GXP in more detail Imagery D3 PJHQ Q2 Web Service Full Motion Video D3 ACC Search and retrieve Intelligence D3 RC(S) Upload back to D3 SOCET GXP® Exploit / Produce Intelligence IA Workstation Integrated System Technologies UNCLASSIFIED Thales: Secure Enterprise \Delivery Demonstration Integrated System Technologies UNCLASSIFIED Thales: Secure Enterprise Delivery (SeED) demo • Builds on data dissemination and value added services of – the Future Integrated ISTAR Management System (FIIMMS) – and JEDDI Middleware demonstrations • Integrates these capabilities in a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) providing core data services including – air, land and maritime track information, – encyclopaedic – and airspace information services. • Secure Enterprise Delivery provides a suite of integrated services, adhering to open standards, for use by systems within the DII environment, including – Joint Operations Picture (JOP) – air vehicle mission planning applications. • These services are protected by a multi-level security architecture. Integrated System Technologies UNCLASSIFIED TENET:Geospatial Intelligence Integrated Reference Architecture (GI2RA) Integrated System Technologies UNCLASSIFIED EDS: Agile Joint Operational Picture Integrated System Technologies UNCLASSIFIED Summary • CWID is an important UK MOD / Industry collaborative event • About one third of exhibits (most Information Systems) based on SOAs • Unique opportunity for industry interoperability work – “let’s just try this…” • Industry trails fund themselves • MoD provide infrastructure • Drives NEC interoperability a few steps closer each year Integrated System Technologies UNCLASSIFIED Integrated System Technologies UNCLASSIFIED
