Program Overview: Demonstrated in
May, 1995 with the lead of the Signal Center, this initiative was approved
for procurement by DISC4 in Feb, 1996. With the support of CASCOM, SIGCEN,
ISC, PM JTACS, FORSCOM, LIA and DISC4 this program was rapidly brought to
the field for TFXXI in June, 1996. Fielding to FP1 through 3 and Special
Forces will continue through FY98.
Program Objective: The Network Encryption
System (NES) provides cryptographic separation of classified from unclassified
data, which allows for the unclassified CSS STAMIS to access the Secret High
Tactical Packet Network (TPN). The overall objective of this program is to
field NES with the CSS Automated Information Systems Interface (CAISI) and
Domain Name Service (DNS) at ECB; and with each 39D or Single Shelter Switch
at EAC .
Program Benefits: This is the only
NSA approved solution for connecting the unclassified CSS STAMIS to the
classified TPN.
