Advanced Networking Integration

To support reliable, deterministic, timely, survivable, secure IP communications in the Tactical Environment we have developed a novel robust algorithm which is compatible with existing Navy networks.  The Tactical Communications Management Program (TCMP) robust algorithm consists of utilizing multiple physical links to provide the service level required by a particular application, much in the spirit of classical IP multi-link, but using the networking features available in Automated Digital Network System (ADNS) multicast group routing under tight SLA management.  TCMP provides a proactive communications management solution as opposed to the standard reactive IP network algorithms such as standard TCP. Under this effort Fuse will develop networking software to implement the TCMP algorithm and validate it in an operational test scenario with multiple platforms including DDG ships, Navy MOCs and possibly airplanes.  By existing within the standard vetted Navy network architecture our solution provides a novel, yet cybersecure solution as opposed to immature greenfield approaches.
