UNCLASSIFIED information at all classification levels from both well-connected regions and D-DIL environments. DoD requires OCONUS transport and network capabilities that allow for robust and resilient communications. The OCONUS infrastructure must be capable of forward deploying enough data to support a disconnected user or a user at the tactical edge, and once communications allow, seamlessly re-integrating those users and their data into the broader enterprise, while not revealing their location to adversary forces. Objective 1: Modernize in Theater Communications Infrastructure. As the number of connected devices and sensors grows exponentially, so does the need for increased communications connectivity. The communications infrastructure (e.g., data transport optical fiber, data relay towers, and ground stations) must support an increasingly complex data architecture to connect data consumers and producers to the digital services they require as well as to each other. This transport must be fast, secure, and resilient, aiming for reduced latency, redundancy, and minimal degradation to data quality. Objective 2: Secure Cloud Connections Through OCONUS Cloud Access Points. Boundary Cloud Access Points (BCAP) establish a protected boundary between the Defense Information Systems Network (DISN) and an approved commercial service provider. Voice Cloud Access Points (VCAP) interconnect current DoD Plain Old Telephone System/Public Switched Telephone Networks (POTS/PTSN) with VoIP/Cloud Phone systems contained within commercial service provider collaboration and office productivity tool suites. These cloud access points must be appropriately implemented and deployed OCONUS at all classification levels at commercial Points of Presenc·e (PoP) to ensure secure connections between cloud providers and DoD networks while maintaining the high-speed delivery of data. Objective 3: Leverage State-Of-The-Art Technologies to Connect D-DIL Environments. Users at the tactical edge routinely operate with limited bandwidth, limited Size Weight and Power (SWaP), and with a need to minimize the likelihood of detection. Connectivity to remote locations requires additional communications capabilities, such as satellite or wireless communications provided by local telecommunications companies. New technologies for connecting data flows to the tactical edge, including capabilities like 5G, Software-Defined Wide Area Networking (SDWAN), and industry pursuits of satellite constellations for the Internet everywhere, are also underway, presenting new opportunities for connecting to the tactical edge. These technologies must be explored and integrated to provide warfighters with consistent and secure connectivity anywhere, anytime. Objective 4: Enable Access to Information From Multiple Devices and Data Sources. Operational conditions may not always permit the use of desktops/workstations to access data. Mobile devices, laptops, and other tactical communications equipment (e.g., transit cases, antennas) require interface with cloud resources to ingest or disseminate mission data. 3.2. Goal #2: Provide Computing Power that Enables Forces at the Tactical Edge OCONUS users require on-demand access to mission-critical information, applications, and services at the tactical edge for command and control and information sharing with higher headquarters to establish a common operational picture of the battlefield. Additionally, as weapon systems and mission capabilities become more digitally dependent, updating software quickly, such as refining AI/ML algorithms, must be done locally to optimize the capability.
