Cryptologic Communications Equip

The Cryptologic Communications Equipment program is designed to enhance the U.S. Navy's cryptologic capabilities across various platforms, including surface ships, submarines, and aircraft. The primary goal of this initiative is to procure state-of-the-art Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) equipment that can be rapidly deployed in response to evolving threats. This equipment is essential for maintaining a robust cryptologic carry-on capability, allowing for quick adaptation to new signals of interest and targets as identified by the Fleet Signals Development Working Group (FSDWG).

A significant component of this program is the Cryptologic Carry-On Program (CCOP), which focuses on acquiring commercial off-the-shelf hardware and software solutions. These solutions are tailored to meet specific operational requirements set forth by Fleet Cyber Command and Commander TENTH Fleet. The equipment procured under CCOP includes receivers, tactical computers, antennas, and advanced signal processing tools. These tools are crucial for supporting Information Warfare operations and ensuring seamless integration with existing shipboard systems.

Additionally, the Global Signals Analysis Laboratory (GSAL) program plays a pivotal role in supporting worldwide Information Warfare operations by providing technical management and resource allocation. GSAL facilitates the processing, exploitation, and dissemination of Technical Signals Intelligence data collected within the maritime domain. This program leverages the RoNIN - Mission System to provide analysts with access to tactical mission payloads using both existing and cloud-based analytical tools.

The program also supports Electronic Warfare Fleet Synthetic Trainer Consolidation efforts, which aim to improve operational planning and decision-making capabilities for intelligence teams. This initiative enhances readiness by integrating kinetic and non-kinetic capabilities necessary for comprehensive maritime operations. Through these efforts, the Cryptologic Communications Equipment program ensures that the U.S. Navy maintains its edge in cryptologic warfare and remains prepared to address emerging threats in diverse electromagnetic environments.
