Decoupled Tactical Data Link Phase II.5 SBIR

Decoupled Tactical Data Link (DTDL) integrates network status and configuration settings from multiple legacy systems onboard ships into a centralized browser-based interface and distributes them via a secure pub-sub framework to remote authorized users. In Phase II.5 Fuse will build on the technological innovation supported in Phase II to provide additional features, a live system demo at SSC Pacific Combined Test Bed (CTB), support for an at-sea exercise and fleet fielding support. Baseline version development and system support activities include developing DTDL software for CDLMS version 3.7, updates and fixes for CDLMS version 3.8, functional tests, and input for fielding and integration activities for hardware and software. For the system demo at the SSC Pacific CTB Fuse will conduct hardware and software integration activities, support C & A for lab integration, perform full system operational checks, and provide scenario development and a Demo Analysis and Findings report. Additional system features include design development and integration of Engineering Support Tool and SITREP tool along with functional test to support these features. The at-sea exercise includes preparation, C & A activities, support for documentation, and scenario development for an exercise with DTDL installed in 3 ships under IATT certification.
