NSA套件符合B兼容的Aruba Gigabit Wi-Fi动员了美国陆军,陆军国民警卫队和陆军预备役司令部职位
美国军队
无论是参与战斗情况,捍卫祖国,提供人道主义援助还是进行救灾任务,美国陆军都依靠命令网络通讯作为基本基础设施。
Whenever units move or “jump” base locations, agility is a key component in achieving overmatch against increasingly capable enemies, the Army says. The faster the tactical operations center (TOC) network becomes available, the better regardless of mission type or location.
命令帖子Wi-Fi启用更快的基本重新定位
陆军已经开发了各种高级战斗系统来帮助提高任务指挥和情境意识,因此经历了与单位网络相关的大量应用程序。此外,对网络的依赖性呈指数增长。
Previously, with wired networks, it took hours after arriving at a new location to get command post networking up and running, leaving units without access to critical information systems.
对于可以加快部队移动性的无线网络解决方案,陆军选择了802.11ac Wi-Fi基础设施,由惠普(Hewlett Packard)企业公司Aruba创建一个名为Command Post Wi-Fi的安全系统。
NSA Suite B Secure, Scalable & Flexible Solution
A key driver for adopting Aruba’s solution is compliance with NSA Suite B, also called Commercial Solutions for Classified, a set of publicly available algorithms approved by the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA). NSA Suite B serves as the cryptographic base for unclassified and most classified information, bringing information security to military Wi-Fi networks.
陆军选择Aruba Wi-Fi解决方案的其他原因是集成的WLAN,VPN,WIDS和防火墙功能,以及在Windows和Android平台上进行的可扩展性和灵活性。陆军还赞赏Aruba提供的销售,系统工程,产品线管理和工程的动手支持。
命令后Wi-Fi解决方案套件
在美国陆军的战术通信网络骨干骨架上,陆军战斗机信息网络 - 递增(WIN-T)的一部分被派往了802.11AC的解决方案,以套件提供。
通过陆军的CHS4合同购买,每个套件包括Aruba室内和室外千兆位Wi-Fi访问点(APS), which deliver high performance in high-density environments. Additionally, the kits include7000 Series Cloud Services ControllerswithrfProtect,Policy Enforcement Firewalland NSA-approved Suite B cryptology and空波用于网络管理.
WLAN Up in Minutes, Enables Force Multipliers
By using wireless networking rather than wired, brigade command posts eliminate the time-intensive process of deploying CAT 5 cabling and laying down specialized protective flooring. By no longer cutting, configuring and plugging in cables, setting up command technical operations is reduced to minutes.
Command Post Wi-Fi is a game-changer.
Additionally, with Command Post Wi-Fi the Army gains a system that is smaller, uses less power and is more modular. With wired networking, a command post required 17 boxes of 1,000-ft cable reels, weighing a total of about 250 pounds. Also, less protective flooring is transported from location to location.
For a global expeditionary force, this translates to cost savings, in terms of fuel, and space availability for other items that get loaded onto transport aircraft, such as mission equipment, humanitarian supplies or other multipliers.
较少的故障排除改善了力支持
命令帖子Wi-Fi还减少了与有线网络相关的管理开销。例如,当旅跳到新地点时,电缆被卷起并多次展开。这最终会导致接线故障,一旦电缆已经在保护地板下方运行,就会发生故障。
With wireless, soldiers no longer spend time hunting for and identifying the affected wire, then removing it and re-running new wire. On the battlefield, this means soldiers can stay focused on the mission rather than troubleshooting wires.
利用数据 +语音的移动性
Another significant mission benefit comes from the ability to move around a command post without losing connectivity.
例如,在启用Wi-Fi的命令帖子中,一个有问题的士兵可以拿起他的移动设备,步行长度以获取所需的答案并返回,同时仍在执行任务职责。这改善了对他在该领域的同志的支持。
此外,该系统可以在无线LAN(VOWLAN)(VoIP的Wi-Fi形式)上使用语音,并通过Internet协议手机安全语音。军队说,这不仅减少了其他电缆,而且还减少了工作站的指挥官和士兵。
Wi-Fi在战场上改变游戏规则
根据陆军的说法,指挥所Wi-Fi是总体游戏规则改变者。网络通信现在在到达新位置的一个小时内启动并运行。
Wi-Fi实现的敏捷性和灵活性提高了旅适应不断变化的条件的能力。使用无线,单位更加移动,并且可以根据需要轻松操纵。
Ebola outbreak support and beyond
Beyond U.S. and coalition battlefield operations, Command Post Wi-Fi capabilities have already supported the Ebola outbreak in West Africa. Going forward, National Guard units will have the capabilities, enabling them to provide wireless immediately to first responders and non-governmental agencies during disaster support missions.
In the near term, Wi-Fi capabilities will be fielded across all Joint Network Nodes (JNNs), over the next few years, the Army says. This includes U.S. Army, Army National Guard and Army Reserve tactical units. Long-term, the plan is proliferating Wi-Fi across WIN-T.
