Information Sharing between the Global Information Grid (GIG) and the System Wide Information Management (SWIM) system

ABSTRACT: Currently, there is no certified, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)-based solution for cross-domain voice and video. More specifically, combatant commands and other agencies have requirements to enable users across different security networks to initiate and receive direct cross-domain audio and videophone calls, and to participate in audio conference calls. To address this need, Trident has developed the Voice and Video Cross Domain Solution (V2 CDS), which is a system that enables secure voice and video communications between differently classified networks. This initial V2 CDS system has been developed under previous SBIR funding. V2 CDS is currently at Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 5. A TRL 9 Initial Operational Capability (IOC) is required at the EUCOM site in Stuttgart, Germany to interconnect their Secure Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPRNet) and US Battlefield Information Collection and Exploitation Systems (BICES) networks. Under this proposed effort, Trident will design and implement requisite security controls, additional functional requirements (VoSIP, multiple LDAP servers), as well as implement changes to ensure interoperability with currently deployed infrastructure. Trident will also address findings identified during Security Design Review (SDR) and Technical Exchange Meetings, as well as findings identified during testing. BENEFIT: The anticipated benefits of this proposed work includes the development of a certifiable solution for secure, cross-domain voice and video calls based on industry standard protocols. V2 CDS provides a new capability and will benefit the warfighter by significantly improving mission effectiveness and reducing the cost of redundant equipment used for different classified networks.
