  3. US National Maritime Domain Awareness NIMS: National Incident Management System ICS: Incident Command Systems Civil Response C2 (terror attack, oil spills, hurricanes , Fires etc. www.gmsa.gov http://www.gmsa.gov/twiki/bin/view www.gmsa.gov/references/071213mdaconops.pdf ASNE Day 2011

  4. Maritime Domain Dominance • The Classical Naval Control of the sea, coastlines and choke points: SHIPS OF THE LINE • Amphibious “From the Sea” • Coastal, Riverine and Brown Water • Evolving threats for Ship’s boats & RHIBS “beyond the hull” • Local administration, rescue & security, major ecological disasters (oil spills) to … • Assuming combatant craft roles? • Maritime Rescue, anti-Piracy … recapture pirated ships / hostages … illegal arms / trade and narco-terroism … insert SOF … border security ASNE Day 2011

  5. High Stakes = Positive Control Threats beyond the hull are increasingly capable and violent Legal implications are often international Exact time, location and maneuvers must be documented Safety at sea in darkness and rough seas where boats cannot be tracked visually / must approach target craft without navigation lights Positive Control of own boats and RHIBS is recommended, ergo : C2 to the Tactical Edge ASNE Day 2011

  6. C2 for Tactical Response Beyond the HullAnti-pirates, terror, drugs, illegal trade … border & port securityHazardous navigation, darkness & high sea states…International law / legal implications – often violent encounters Where is the boat? Condition? Execute Tactical Exchange ASNE Day 2011

  7. The Tactical Edge That location where responsible personnel with the correct preparation, including updates in route, arrive and gain understanding of the assistance needed or the threat, continuously exchanging their situation with their control ship via direct or C2 relay via other ships, & air to achieve an immediate and appropriate response with force as needed. The C2 requirement is for an affordable capability that is flexible, adaptive and agile, and interoperable with U.S. and allied coalition forces. ASNE Day 2011

  14. AIS is International Gibraltar http://www.marinetraffic.com/ais/# ASNE Day 2011

  15. AIS comes to the Navy * * Excerpt form Navy League, SEAPOWER Almanac 2011, p.93 AIS significantly increases the ability of the Navy and allied nations to distinguish between normal and suspicious merchant ships headed toward U.S. and allied ports. Navy warships using AIS have observed dramatic increases in situational awareness, ship safety and intelligence gathering. 2005 Navy deemed AIS an urgent capability / began fielding of stand­alone AIS on all warships by fiscal 2006 Integrated AIS with GCCS-M in 2007 - ­2011. AIS was granted Rapid Deployment Capability authority in January 2006 and transitioned to a program of record in 2008. The supporting C2 architecture for this paper describes an ad hoc C2 capability for ship’s boats and RHIBS that has been officially put in place ASNE Day 2011

  16. AIS Characteristics AIS is a commercially available shipboard broad­cast VHF maritime band transponder system that can transmit ship information, including navigation, identification and cargo. AIS is mandated by the International Maritime Organization for all merchant vessels over 300 tons. (Warships are exempt, but may …) Transponders incorporate GPS locating and can support 2 channel, 2-way VHF data communication, clear or secure with other ships ASNE Day 2011

  17. DOD Policy: New IT / C2 Capability Without Risk Recommend AIS Based Small Boat C2 : Discussion NAVSEA guidance for new IT & C2 Systems.* Link 16 is currently BW Limited New systems must be mature (TLR 8 or 9) “State of the Shelf” Therefore what C2 systems areavailable ? Which C2 base to use for ship’s boats & RHIBS ? CAT 1 : GCCS Family of Systems ? Cat 2 : AIS based C2 capabilities ? ASNE Day 2011 * AFCEA Conference 22 Oct 10, Pentagon City

  18. AIS C2 CONOPS Extended to Ship’s Boats Add AIS C2 to Own Cat 2 Boats and RHIBS such that every Navy and USCG ship has potential for It’s own Ad Hoc AIS based C2 Network ASNE Day 2011

  19. Status of AIS based C2 for Small Boats / RHIBS • International Development and use of AIS based C2 for the missions described in Table 2, Small Boat Positive Control Missions • Canadian Navy • Pacific and Atlantic Security C2 Operations • Royal Navy • Coastal / Fisheries • Republic of Korea • Dual Use ASNE Day 2011

  36. Boat & RHIB C2 to the Tactical EdgeExample Boat / RHIB Scenarios ASNE Day 2011

  37. Control Ship or Station Display Aviation Unit (Helicopter) on Patrol RHIB Patrolling in safe waters Coast Guard Control ship ASNE Day 2011

  38. RHIB Display • RHIB#1 is tasked with AIS contact of interest (COI). • RHIB highlights the COI with double Green Circles • An Electronic Bearing Line (EBL) connects the RHIB to the COI. • RHIB coxswain will steer along EBL to intercept target.

  39. RHIB turns to intercept the contact of Interest

  40. Control Ship has sent a Contact of Interest message to RHIB #2 RHIB #2 is already proceeding on an intercept course. This Intercept course will take RHIB through disputed waters. Control ship must alert RHIB to avoid area.

  41. RHIB#2 is proceeding to intercept COI. • The RHIB’s display shows the COI with Highlight circle and EBL • RHIB is steering intercept course. • RHIB display does not show area to be avoided.

  42. Control ship advises RHIB#2 to come about immediately via text message. • Danger area is presented at same time to reinforce urgency and to provide the “whole picture”. • RHIB #2 has information required to make safe choice.

  43. RHIB has turned away from disputed area – Incident avoided!

  44. RHIB#2 assigned a new COI

  45. RHIB #1 is arriving alongside contact of interest HELO orbiting on station RHIB #2 is proceeding to intercept Coast Guard Ship has come about.

  46. RHIB#1 reports status to Control ship over secure link

  47. Summary C2 to the Tactical Edge Command is most effective when C2 is maintained via realtime interaction with the units “in the fight” / “at the Edge: AIS based C2 “networks” planned or “ad hoc” for small boats is Commercial Off the Shelf – TLR 8-9 Links to Control Ships and Command Centers C2 communications are clear & secure AIS and Radar can be correlated Tactical Spoofs are possible Interoperable with all US & Allied AIS & ECDIS capabilities ASNE Day 2011
