Topic 13 Collaboration ToolsTopic 13 Collaboration Tools
Enabling Objectives13.1 DISCUSS Collaboration at Sea (CAS) concepts and technologies.13.2 DISCUSS CENTRIXS architectures and enclaves.13.3 EXPLAIN the purpose of Defense Connect Online (DCO), including the three major components and the Help Desk resources.
CAS Overview
• Standard Knowledge and Information Sharing Platform
• Navy-wide Architecture
• Navy-wide Web Applications
• Centralized Design
• Centralized Administration
• Coalition Replication

CAS Web Applications
• Baseline Site (Distributed Input)– Content Providers Add, Edit, & Delete via Web into Shared Libraries
• Knowledge Web (KWEB)– Organized links to CAS Content used as a briefing tool
• Stoplight Charts– Graphical Status Capability
• CommandNet– Event Logging tool
• Sametime– Chat Client and Meeting Center (Whiteboard and Application Sharing)
CAS II Features
• Enhanced Site Customization• Selective Replication
– No Distribution – Limited Distribution– Distribute to all (optional)
• One-Click Access– Post to Libraries, Browse Libraries, Recent posts List
• Enhanced integration with KWEB• Enhanced integration with Stoplight• Max Size Limitation for documents
Collaboration at Sea• CAS III roll-out scheduled for FY08 with newly
developed CAS III user’s guide (NNWC)• PRNOC CAS server refresh planned for FY08• CAS transition to POR scheduled for FY09• Voice and Video IP Circuits
– VoIP requires ~26Kbps of dedicated BW– VTCoIP utilizes between 64-768Kbps– High latency and jitter experience with BW constrained users– Expect transition to occur in parallel with increased BW
availability and ADNS Incremental upgrades

CENTRIXS History• Feb 02, FLTCOMs emergent requirements satisfied with COWAN
capability.
• Due to funding constraints for POR NIDTS/COWAN, NIDTS/COWAN Lite systems were fielded.
– Force Level ships NIDTS Lite
– Unit Level ships COWAN Lite
• Sep 02, CLF/CPF directed name change from CoWAN/NIDTS Lite to CENTRIXS Blk 0 & 1. Configuration was designed and fielded to support IP connectivity and services for three non-simultaneous, coalition security levels.
• CENTRIXS Blk 0 & 1 fielding is in process for deployed ships in PAC & LANT fleets.
• ASD(NII)/DoD CIO Instruction 8110.1, dated February 6, 2004, directed that each DoD Component shall “plan, program, budget, and execute funding to support the [Multinational Information Sharing] MNIS Program and MNIS CENTRIXS networks used by their organization, forces, or the Combatant Commands.”

Coalition Warfighting
“The solidarity and collective will of the Coalition is our strength against the enemy that preys on weakness”
General John Abizaid, CommanderUnited States Central Command
CENTRIXSProgram Description
• CENTRIXS-M provides secure tactical and operational information sharing between U.S. and coalition maritime partners
• CENTRIXS-M is a key enabler for Command and Control and warfighting readiness in C7F AOR
• CENTRIXS-M forms the network backbone and global infrastructure for Coalition and Multinational C4I interoperability
• C4I Interoperability throughout the Coalition and Joint Enterprise Remains Paramount
Coalition and Multinational Interoperability is Fleet #1 C4I Priority
Coalition and Multinational Interoperability is Fleet #1 C4I Priority
Enclave and COI DescriptionEnclave Description

CAS Account Registration
Foreign Disclosure Portal
Mail Guard For e-mail to pass through the mail guard, it must meet the following criteria:
Both the sender and receiver must be registered in the mail guard No ‘dirty words’ (classification markings i.e., NOFORN) Text only - no attachments or HTML (except for authorized accounts) Classification marking must be present in the first line of the e-mail
CLASSIFICATION:CONFIDENTIAL REL “enclave”
HFIP/SNR• HFIP and SNR allows direct IP connectivity between afloat
units, both US and Allied/Coalition. • There are technical IA challenges posed by this capability as
the traditional NOC protection boundary must move to afloat units for security integrity
• PMW 160 responsible for integration, router interface, subnet configuration, security analysis and mitigation of IA threats
• PMW 170 responsible for Acquisition, Installation, Sustainment
• Expect Number of SNR/HFIP installations on CENTRIXS network to rapidly increase

Life Cycle Support• ISEA in place to provide LCS for all fielded systems
– Provisioning and Sparing – Interactive Electronic Technical Manual (IETM) – Planned Maintenance – Engineering drawings and Installation docs– Configuration Management
• Training curriculum and products– Deliver Capability and ensure Proficiency. Train both System &
Operational Employment– CBT is being developed and Interactive Courseware is the long
term training solution• Fleet Services Desk { centrixs@spawar.navy.mil }
– 24/7/365 Distance Support operation – Coordinates PRNOC, UARNOC and CAS Help Desks.– On-site support coordinated with RMC and FSET
