Study Notes
GBS Characteristics and Segments
- GBS operates as a one-way communication system.
- It is classified as the lowest level in the Battle Network (BN).
- Three segments of GBS include Transmit (TIP/PIP), Space (Ku/Ka), and Receive (RBM).
Global Broadcast Mission Requests
- GMR allows users to manage broadcast usage requests, including initiation, addition, deletion, or modifications, pending approval by the Satellite Broadcast Manager (SBM).
- Key equipment for accessing GBS content includes the Integrated Receiver Decoder (IRD) and Amino video converter.
CPOF Overview
- CPOF stands for Command Post of the Future.
- The latest version of CPOF is MC13.
- CPOF enhances situational awareness from Battalion to Corps level and uses a physical backup server connected to a repository via a crossover cable.
DataBridge Server
- Serves as a converter between CPOF and DDS, transforming Java to XML data formats.
Mid Tier Server Functions
- The Mid Tier Server ensures caching between workstations and the Master Repository, handling load balancing, and bandwidth utilization.
User Capacity for Servers
- The Master Repository Server supports 300-500 users.
- The Mid Tier Server supports up to 50 users.
Common VLANs
- VLAN designations include INC (5), WIN-T (6), Voice (58), Data (59), and Management (222).
MCIS Components
- MCIS comprises 11 components including DDS, FBCB2/JCR, CPOF, GCCS-A, DCGS-A, S2MC, TAIS, DTSS, IMETS, FDS, and AMDWS.
Specific System Descriptions
- DDS is the Data Dissemination Server, facilitating data exchange and interoperability.
- GCCS-A is the Global Command & Control System for the Army, integrating data from multiple military branches.
- FBCB2/JCR provides situational awareness and command and control communications.
Additional System Functions
- DCGS-A delivers common ground system capabilities; S2MC is now called Sustainment Service Mission Command; AMDWS focuses on air and missile defense command.
Communication Systems
- TAIS integrates tactical airspace communication, while FDS supports fire direct missions.
- IMETS provides integrated meteorological data.
Tactical Internet Components
- ITNE's five functional components include radio platforms, waveform applications, network management systems, ancillary devices, and mission command application management.
IP Address Designation
- IP format follows a structure indicating the branch, division, TOC, and node within the TOC.
Lightweight Data Interchange Format (LDIF)
- LDIF is crucial for establishing system roles, URNs, and IP addresses within military communication structures.
CPOF Server Architecture
- Key servers supporting CPOF include the Master Repository Server, Backup Server, DataBridge Server, and others facilitating data handling and remote troubleshooting.
C2 Processes and Data Security
- C2R acts as a central repository for dissemination with TS3 providing security.
- NRTS assists in data deconfliction to avoid duplicate entries within DDS, utilizing correlated blue data for efficiency.
Mission Command Support Centers (MCSCs)
- MCSCs are located in Aberdeen Proving Ground and Fort Carson, comprising Radiant Mercury, Communications Control Server, Enhanced Information Server, and Inter-Bridge Server.
