UAS ROADMAP 2005 communications, providing more robust connectivity between nodes and more efficient use of all available bandwidth. In Spiral 2, UA become an integral part of the net, with their excess bandwidth being made available to the GIG, improving the overall flow of data. Spiral 3, 2012, introduces the TSAT and its space born network of optical and RF receiver/transmitters and routers. It also adds new broadband connectivity between SATCOM and UA through the insertion of optical (laser) data link technology. Teleports connecting the SATCOM constellation to the GIG-BE fiber backbone complete the circuit and provide truly global communications. By spiral 4, 2016, the GIG has become the envisioned ubiquitous network, providing information on demand to warriors on the move, transparently and seamlessly. TABLE C-2.

Two potential directions are evident at this time, either an enhancement to the WNW, or an SCA compliant iteration of the CDL managed under the auspices of the JTRS program office. Regardless, the final solution will become part of the JTRS set of software defined radios. APPENDIX C - COMMUNICATIONS Page C-19

UAS ROADMAP 2005 WNW is currently envisioned as a 2-10 Mbit/s, self organizing network, initially acting as a backbone connection for self organizing ground and airborne networks, eventually replacing all ground and airborne networking radios. For WNW to become the migration path for CDL wide band (>274 Mbit/s) applications, however, high-powered, directional JTRS hardware would have to be developed and fielded. In addition, a WNW waveform, capable of supporting such data rates would have to be developed, integrated, tested and fielded. Current funding does not support this approach. Spiral Migration to Seamless GIG Spiral 4 2016 Spiral 3 2012 Spiral 2 2008 Spiral 1 2006 Full GIG Deployment: TSAT, Teleports, GIG-BE, JTRS, NCES - Seamless capability to create and use global repository of information, available to all authorized users - Land, sea, air and space connectivity -Support to stationary users and users on the move Transition to Transformational Satellite (TSAT) with Teleports - Extend Network Reach - Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation - UAV LaserComm Connectivity Multiple Inter-Networked Systems - UAV as Transport provider - End to End Network Connectivity - Extended wideband Capability Initial Capability - IP based transport - Metadata registration - Field Net-Centric systems: JTRS, WNW, WIN-T - IP enable CDL data links Current Experience – Unique non-interoperable solutions (stovepipes) FIGURE C-9. SPIRALED STAGES TO A UA COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK. Another possible direction would be, in keeping with currently published and supported OSD guidance, continuing to evolve the CDL specification using existing processes. Initial tasks would be to migrate to a net-centric footing, by isolating the data and transport layers from the physical connection, making CDL a wideband, point to point, network connection, vice the tightly coupled closed circuit it is today. Evolving software defined hardware components and supporting wideband waveforms would come next bringing the CDL into SCA compliance, making it part of the family of JTRS solutions. Current funding, however, does not support this approach either. Regardless of which direction future CDL programming takes, however, one imperative remains clear. Systems that need a CDL for wideband data exchanges, must submit their specific performance requirements to the JTRS program office to help guide future wide band data link procurement efforts. Figure C-10 illustrates these two potential directions. APPENDIX C - COMMUNICATIONS Page C-20
