8 Secure naval communications solutions Chapter 1 Secure naval communications solutions 1 Rohde & Schwarz expertise in naval communications systems Today's military vessels are equipped with state-of-the-art command centers featuring complex facilities for communicating onboard and externally. These communications systems must ensure reliable, jam-resistant and encrypted information exchange. Interoperability continues to play a key role, and not just between the individual branches of a country's armed forces. It is also a prerequisite for joint operations and for Partnership for Peace (PfP) missions. As network centric operations become increasingly important, there is a growing demand for standardized voice and data communications protocols and for advanced software defined radios (SDR). Military messaging in particular is increasingly vital for mission success. One of the technical challenges for a ship's communications infrastructure is the need for interference-free, simultaneous, robust use of all radio channels on board. There are, however, only a few locations on deck that are suitable for setting up antennas. This is why broadband antennas and integrated antenna concepts as well as concepts for transmitters/receivers and filters/combiners are urgently required to reduce the number of necessary antennas. As a system integrator, the company offers impressive single-source communications solutions for modern naval applications.

10 R&S NAVICS Next generation of highly integrated communications systems for naval applications The world of communications technology is undergoing dramatic changes. As a consequence, the next logical and necessary step for naval communications is to replace the time division multiplexing (TDM) standard with IP-based methods. This step is transparent for users and fulfills the new diverse on-board requirements for upcoming state-ofthe-art communications. Rohde & Schwarz provides R&S NAVICS as the core component for the next generation of highly integrated communications systems for naval applications. R&S NAVICS constitutes a VoIP-based switching solution delivering future-ready voice and data communications that offers innovative technology and state-of-the-art, intuitive user interfaces. Modern voice terminals with smartphone-like operation enable voice connections between all designated locations on board. The new Rohde & Schwarz new innovation for R&S NAVICS provides switching functions that are software-implemented and run on commercially available IT components. R&S NAVICS offers excellent scalability to meet the needs of small ships as easily as those of large frigates. The use of IP technology makes it easy to expand the system to include additional communications services such as video over IP/CCTV. Secure naval communications solutions In addition, the broadcast and alarm (BAA) and ship s secure telephone equipment (STE) subsystems can be fully integrated into R&S NAVICS. As a result, voice connections can be established with onboard telephones or via satellite communications, and shipwide announcements and alarms can be directly initiated from the voice terminals. The modern HF and VHF/UHF radios from Rohde & Schwarz are all VoIP capable, which allows direct integration in the IP-based network. Legacy radios and other communications equipment with analog audio interfaces can be supported by a media gateway with interface cards in order to convert analog voice to VoIP and vice versa. The use of conventional IT technology also makes it easier to deal with obsolescence. Heavy industry investments in these technology sectors ensure ongoing development and consequently price stability as well as spare part availability. R&S NAVICS offers the additional benefit of optimized logistics through added hardware efficiency. The voice terminals are designed for all installation types, e.g. wall/bulkhead, console mount, 19" rackmount, etc. The modular concept of the base unit and adapters allows easy replacement, even from one installation type to another, which minimizes the spare parts inventory. R&S NAVICS also features cutting-edge display technology for good readability even under difficult conditions. There are two types of voice terminals to meet specific requirements: R&S GB5900S voice terminal softkey and R&S GB5900T voice terminal touch. The softkey type is 1 Highly integrated communications with R&S NAVICS IP Access point (AP) GB5900S Voice Terminal Softkey Broadcast Wireless handheld WLAN AP Alarms Crypto device HF/VHF/UHF radio Telephone Wireless headset system Broadcast and alarm system Ethernet network Server system MHS CCS...

11 Secure naval communications solutions primarily designed for use under rough environmental conditions such as those which can prevail on deck or in the machine room. On the other hand, the voice terminal touch provides a full touchscreen that makes it easy to handle during normal conditions. R&S NAVICS permits integration with a Wi-Fi based wireless communications system (WCS) to allow freedom of movement, e.g. on the bridge, the flight deck or even on the entire ship. For this application, ATEX smartphones act as mobile voice terminals and provide uninterrupted communications even while roaming between Wi-Fi access points. Lastly, R&S NAVICS provides exceptional failsafety. The dual homing of the voice terminals, redundant Ethernet networks and redundant power supplies for IT equipment offers a high level of communications safety for various failure cases. A server system offers very high redundancy thanks to state-of-the-art hypervisor-based virtualization of all R&S NAVICS services. Even if the entire server system fails, the voice terminals make it possible to continue all basic point-to-point and conferencing communication. Key facts Smart voice terminal operation Free mobility on board One single network for all services Optimized logistics Exceptional failsafety Multilevel security Accessible Wi-Fi for entire crew Simplified centralized operation Reduction of total costs of ownership Rohde & Schwarz one ICS supplier for all subsystems Two architectures meet different security requirements: R&S NAVICS IP R&S NAVICS IP satisfies an extensive range of security requirements. Encryption devices for radiocommunications still require analog voice on the red side and generate analog encrypted audio signals on the black side. A media gateway makes it possible to convert analog voice to VoIP and vice versa. Separate media gateways and Ethernet switches on the red and black sides on a ship can be used to significantly increase security. R&S NAVICS MLS R&S NAVICS MLS goes beyond the solutions known from R&S NAVICS IP and provides certified components that ensure secure handling of sensitive information. Highly secure crypto modules in the voice terminals assign a tamper-proof signature to all voice packets that are to be sent to the lower security levels. In addition to the traffic control provided by Ethernet switches the Rohde & Schwarz certified gateway filters fallow only voice packets with a matching signature to pass. A separate filter model for management traffic enables secure management of the overall system from a central communications control instance. All in all, R&S NAVICS employs outstanding technologies and standards, meeting the state-of-the-art requirements for the next generation of highly integrated maritime communications systems.

16 Secure naval communications solutions R&S M3SR Series4100 Split-site System Split-site operation with the R&S M3SR Series4100 The R&S M3SR Series4100 radio family supports IP based split-site operation; no additional hardware is required. Operation of high-power transmitters close to receivers at the same site can cause interference to the receivers. In such cases, the transmitters and receivers are located at separate sites (split-site operation). In the R&S M3SR Series4100 family of software defined HF radios, the split-site controller functionality is entirely implemented in software and no special hardware is required. Standard radios from the R&S M3SR Series4100 are used as the split-site transmitter and receiver. For data transfer between the split-site controller and the transmitter and receiver, the IP interface included in the radios is used. The figure shows a typical split-site system with these radios. Split-site operation also supports complex waveforms such as automatic link establishment (ALE-2G/ALE-3G in accordance with STANAG 4538) as well as modem waveforms. Of course, classic HF modes such as SSB (J3E) or AM (A3E) can also be used. Lower maintenance and logistics costs Generally, each base unit in the R&S M3SR Series4100 radio family (R&S GX4100, R&S EK4100 or R&S XK4115) can be configured as a split-site controller by activating a software option. The R&S M3SR Series4100 radios used in the transmitter and receiver systems do not require any special hardware extensions for split-site operation. This is a significant benefit for users. It simplifies logistics and saves on spare units.

17 Secure naval communications solutions R&S M3SR Series4100 HF Broadband System Flexible and modular multiline radio system The HF broadband system is a modular multiline radio system for the HF frequency range. The applications range from navy ships to shore radio stations with up to 32 radio lines. The system s excellent scalability makes it suitable for use on board a wide range of ships, from Corvetteclass vessels to aircraft carriers as well as for shore stations. The system offers the full range of R&S M3SR Series4100 modulation modes and waveforms, from simple SSB operation and ALE to EPM (ECCM) radio line. Intelligent radio line management provides flexible and dynamic allocation of transmit power, from a few watts to several kilowatts, to support a variety of missions. The HF broadband system is based on the principle of combining shipboard HF radio lines with the help of highly linear, passive line couplers and then transmitting the combined signal using a broadband antenna system. The system covers the entire HF frequency band from 2 MHz to 30 MHz and consists of separate broadband antennas, each covering a subband. A diplexer or triplexer selects each antenna segment. The antenna system contains no switched elements. The broadband capability of the antennas eliminates the need for antenna tuning units. Since only passive components such as couplers and filters are used, the result is a low maintenance system with superior reliability. Example: HF broadband system with one four-line block. 16 Rohde & Schwarz Solutions for Navy

18 Secure naval communications solutions A broadband system can consist of up to 32 radio lines which are connected to a broadband antenna system.

39 Waveforms for line-of-sight and beyond-line-of-sight communications LOS waveforms All line-of-sight (LOS) waveforms have in common that they are not using any communication infrastructure like base stations. These waveforms are designed to operate in a harsh environment where a loss of infrastructure must not lead to a loss of communications. Therefore all waveforms are intended to achieve a very high point-to-point radiocommunications range without any infrastructure. This is the most significant difference in comparison to mobile phone standards or any other standards e.g. Wi-Fi. LOS waveforms for tactical applications are operated mainly in the frequency range between 30 MHz and 600 MHz, focused on some core bands. This chapter describe the set of military waveforms that have been standardized mainly to ensure interoperability between allies. The available data throughput is strongly coupled to the achievable radio communication range. LOS waveforms are designed for operation on land, sea and air while almost all of the platforms are using non-directional antennas. Typical data rates are in the order of some kb/s up to tens of kb/s. Some waveforms in higher frequency bands are able to achieve data throughput rates in the lower MB/s. Higher data rates are very unlikely to come in the near future due to the fact that there is no frequency spectrum available. Another significant capability of military LOS waveforms is anti-jam resistance. Waveforms with this capability have some special characteristics in terms of synchronization, timing accuracy and some others. The data throughput of all anti-jam resistant waveforms is quite small to keep the instantaneous bandwidth small. Military waveforms are designed to offer the highest standard of security features through COMSEC (e.g. encryption) and TRANSEC (e.g. frequency hopping) capabilities. Jamming resilience is also offered in the tactical military domain through highly capable RF front ends which can handle large collocated signals without degrading reception capabilities. The essential Line-of-sight (LOS) technology for military deployment network is the Mobile AdHoc NETwork (MANET). A MANET is a continuously self-configuring, infrastructure-less network of mobile devices connected wirelessly. Each device in a MANET is free to move independently in any direction and will therefore change its links to other devices frequently. Each must forward traffic unrelated to its own use, and therefore be a router. The primary challenge in building a MANET is equipping each device to continuously maintain the information required to properly route traffic. STANAG 4204 and STANAG 4205 are mostly used for analog voice in fixed frequency in the tactical domain for the VHF and UHF band. In the meantime, HAVE QUICK (HQ) and SATURN waveforms have been developed to cover air-ground-air communications in a jammed environment. 38 Rohde & Schwarz Solutions for Navy

40 Waveforms for line-of-sight and beyond-line-of-sight communications BLOS waveforms The main purpose of beyond-line-of-sight (BLOS) is to be able to have long reach back without the need for infrastructure. The main advantage of HF radiocommunications is the fact that the electromagnetic signals below 30 MHz allow to use reflection effects on the ionosphere to achieve extremely high ranges of thousands of kilometers without any infrastructure between transmitter and receiver. The reflection characteristic of the ionosphere is strongly depending on the solar activities and varies also over time. There are significant differences of the reflection characteristics over day and night and over summertime and wintertime. It requires a quite good know how about propagation effects to find the right frequency and other setting for establishing a long-range communication link between communication partners separated by a high distance. Modern automatic link establishment standards are providing an automated capability to connect communication partners at any time and under any ionospheric condition. Therefore, these mechanisms are using information about solar activity, geographical positions of the communication partners and the exact date with a year s calendar. The available frequency spectrum is scanned on coordinated with potential communication partners. The archived results of connectivity over frequency range is stored and continuously updated within and by the radios. After establishing a communication link the ALE systems are using data and/or voice communication standards to exchange messages between the connected communication partners. The currently fielded ALE standards are the second generation (ALE 2G) and third generation (ALE 3G). Another key requirement for military is the need for connectivity even in contested environment. In HF for example, some very low data rate modulations operating at very low SNR are defined to ensure end to end connectivity even in the most difficult propagation conditions. The STANAG 4203 requirements are describing main characteristics for radios with a passband bandwidth of up to 6 khz. This standard does not contain modern data communication modes. These modems waveforms are provided by other standards which are referenced by STANAG These standards are the STANAGS 4285, 4415, 4529, 4538 and The data rates for these standards are quite moderate up to some kb/s. Within most of the installations these standards are operated within modems boxes external to radios. STANAG 4539 covers data communication waveforms providing data rates between 75 bps and 12.8 kb/s It describes technical specifications to ensure interoperability of serial waveforms for non-hopping multiple application operation on HF channels. STANAG 4539 is the main waveform for operating low to medium data rates over HF links. It is also the basis for HF networks using the tactical data link LINK 22. Modems meeting the MIL STD C represent the latest generation of data transmission for use over HF links. This standard provides data rates up to 240 kb/s within a bandwidth of up to 48 khz. The full data rate is available via ground wave links. Communication via sky wave links may require the data rate to be reduced depending on the available channel quality. With the development of new technologies such as WBHF, HF is no longer limited to voice or very small data rates but can also now accommodate IP data, video or imaging and become an alternative to satellite communications (SATCOM). 2 More information 39

41 Waveforms for line-of-sight and beyond-line-of-sight communications HAVE QUICK II overview SATURN overview HAVE QUICK II is a tactical anti-jam UHF radio system. It is the fielded NATO standard for jam-resistant voice communications. Its technical characteristics are defined in STANAG HAVE QUICK II radios may operate in either fixed frequency mode or anti-jam (AJ) mode. They can also be used with secure external voice equipment. The HAVE QUICK II system provides resistance to EPM (ECCM) through the use of frequency hopping. There is no apparent pattern to the frequency hopping sequence and the frequencies appear to be randomly selected from the 225 MHz to 400 MHz band. To achieve communications in the AJ mode, HAVE QUICK II radios must hop from frequency to frequency in synchronization. This requires the use of the same frequency table, the same sequence of frequencies and common time information. The AJ mode has conferencing capability, but this is only available in non-secure mode. To operate in AJ mode, an HAVE QUICK II user must enter a communications net. A net is a unique hopping pattern defined by a combination of word of day (WOD), time of day (TOD) and a net number. Net numbers are equivalent to channels in a conventional fixed frequency radio. Each net number selects a different frequency hopping sequence. SATURN, the second generation anti-jam tactical UHF radio for NATO, is the new generation, fast frequency hopping radio. Its technical characteristics are defined in STANAG SATURN radios are backwards interoperable with HAVE QUICK II radios. STANAG 4372 defines mandatory and optional modes for SATURN, which increases the flexibility of compliant implementations. SATURN is a digital waveform that uses continuous-phase frequency shift keying modulation (MSK). SATURN provides improved EPM (ECCM) through fast frequency hopping. SATURN supports clear voice, secure voice and data with up to 16 kbit/s. It also supports NATO LINK 22 in UHF. SATURN radios can monitor a fixed frequency while in hopping mode, which is called hailing. If a call comes in on this frequency, the operator receives an aural/visual indication and must revert to this fixed frequency to communicate. There are different ways to interrupt an existing transmission (break-in). This function works in all operating modes. MARLIN overview Standard waveforms are currently evolving from basic point to point line of sight capabilities to mobile ad-hoc networking capabilities such as in MARLIN STANAG This new set of capabilities translates into extended range and redundancy, thus improving connectivity, quality of service and robustness. Advanced signaling mechanisms allow for automatic network reconfiguration, thus adapting to changes in propagation conditions, allowing for higher mobility in the tactical environment and minimizing user intervention. The Mobile Ad Hoc Relay Line of Sight Networking ( MARLIN) profile describes the system concept and set of protocols that provide Internet Protocol (IP) data transfer in multiple node, multiple-hop dynamic networks employing line of sight (LOS) radio bearers. The protocols were originally developed to provide connectivity amongst ships at sea, but applications with other platforms and in other environments are possible. 40 Rohde & Schwarz Solutions for Navy

42 Waveforms for line-of-sight and beyond-line-of-sight communications R&S SECOS Waveform for use in fast airborne platforms as well as shipborne and vehicular applications Armed forces radiocommunications are vulnerable to intentional or unintentional eavesdropping and jamming in today s communications scenarios. R&S SECOS, the secure EPM communications system, was developed to counteract such activities. R&S SECOS can be deployed in secure fixed frequency and in frequency hopping mode. It was specifically designed to take advantage of the radios technical characteristics and therefore offers a very high range without compromising transmission quality. R&S SECOS employs customized encryption. For voice operation, various speech codecs are available that can be selected as required.

55 Cybersecurity TopSec Mobile Tap-proof voice calls The TopSec Mobile is a mobile encryption device for tapproof end-to-end voice calls using smartphones, PCs, fixed-network phones and satellite terminals. Companies and government authorities use telephones and smartphones to share confidential information. However, voice calls, particularly on mobile devices, can be easily tapped and recorded. This is why official secrets and confidential company data must be protected by powerful encryption. At the same time, users want a simple and flexible security solution that enables them to make phone calls as usual without complicated communications processes. The TopSec Mobile meets the highest security requirements and enjoys a high level of user acceptance. It is an external encryption device that connects to smartphones, PCs and satellite terminals via Bluetooth. The TopSec Mobile is used whenever a conversation needs to be confidential.

The device provides Audiovisual status indicators and detailed firewall functionality for the radio s control information. Inserted in the control path of a system, Supports R&S M3SR radios, Harris and RM6 as logging function the filter provides strict red/black separation. This well as GA-123 modems ensures that only explicitly permitted control commands are transmitted and prevents (un)intentional data leakage over the control interface. Secure encrypted mobile communications with VoIP and ISDN based landline phones IMSI-catchers are now on the market. These telephony eavesdropping devices essentially act as a fake tower between the mobile phone and the real service provider s tower and are therefore considered a man-in-the-middle attack. Other attackers focus directly on the internal network of a mobile provider to catch many more calls as they pass the respective switches. This danger becomes very real when road warriors travel in less secure or less trustworthy areas around the world. The CryptoGateway combines secure mobile communications with existing landline devices based on VoIP or ISDN technology. The CryptoGateway connects encrypted calls between secure mobile phones and any standard phone acting as an extension of an organization s private exchange. This ensures that outsiders are always faced with fully encrypted voice calls while at the same time ensuring that any extension within the organization can be used to communicate with secure mobile phones. This effectively prevents unsecure connections via the mobile or public landline telephone network. 3 SecureGateway Fax and voice encryption The SecureGateway provides secure authentication and encryption as a frontend device to any regular fax machine. In a user-friendly and easy manner, the SecureGateway secures your communications and protects your assets from eavesdropping and manipulation by both passive and active attackers. In addition to its standard analog operating mode, the SecureGateway optionally supports digital (ISDN) and IP transmission (fax over IP) of G3 fax documents. Finally, it can optionally act as a fax to gateway and deliver the fax documents encrypted to any address. A separate key management device generates and distributes digital certificates. Optionally, smart card devices can also be personalized on a per user basis. In this case, the sender can specify a special extension for the normal fax number, ensuring that only the targeted person will be able to receive the facsimile. Instead of forwarding the document directly to the fax device, the receiving appliance will store it. Only when the right USB device is plugged into the SecureGateway will the stored fax document be decrypted and forwarded to the locally connected fax device. RadioCrypt Modules Provides the highest level of radiocommunications security against eavesdropping Rohde & Schwarz Cybersecurity VHF/UHF radio encryption modules are an ideal, cost- effective solution for high-end voice encryption for governmental and defense organizations, police departments and public safety organizations. Rohde & Schwarz Cybersecurity offers wire-in modules for easy installation into most common and well-known mobile radios, including Motorola, Kenwood and others. The RadioCrypt modules use a highly sophisticated, DSP-based vocoder to compress speech and adapt the audio signals to the low bit channel rate. This ensures high audio quality despite the narrowband FM channel. Audio signals are encrypted and transmitted using a special multicarrier modem technology for optimal bandwidth utilization of the radio channel, preserving the full radio range. HandsetCrypt Integrates strong digital, AES-based, endto-end encryption to almost every legacy analog HF/SBB radio systems The HandsetCrypt provides a high-grade digital voice cipher system especially designed as a universal handset for HF/SBB radios, using robust multicarrier modem technology. The HandsetCrypt enables optimal connections even under poor radio conditions. Even with very low transmission speeds, the handset delivers excellent audio quality and speaker recognition in realtime. Due to the narrowband voice coding and robust multicarrier modem, there is no reduction in radio range compared to normal clear voice operation of the radio. The entire sophisticated electronics is integrated into a ruggedized aluminum handset. More information 55

57 Maritime domain awareness 56 Rohde & Schwarz Solutions for Navy

58 Chapter 4 Maritime domain awareness Maritime domain awareness Platform protection through enhanced situational awareness In conventional operations and when combating asymmetric threats, enhanced decision-making and protection of friendly forces demands a high degree of situational awareness. Here, electronic warfare (EW), especially electronic support (ES), provides an efficient means of supplementing the situation picture. On the high seas or in the littoral, naval units of any size can exploit the electromagnetic spectrum of adversary communications and radar signals, transforming intelligence into operational advantages. Rohde & Schwarz naval ES passive sensor solutions integrate into the ship s combat management system and provide the following operational benefits: Act as a force multiplier Provide force protection for naval/joint operations Enhance knowledge and decision superiority in network centric warfare Conduct strategic and tactical intelligence preparation of the battle space, order of battle/target development, communications network nodal analysis, common operational picture and maritime effects-based operations Rohde & Schwarz naval ES systems provide excellent system sensitivity, automatic and simultaneous emitter detect-track-classify and open architecture integration with combat operations systems. Combining outstanding RF performance over a very wide frequency range from 8 khz to 40 GHz with maximum operational flexibility, Rohde & Schwarz systems are designed to cope with large volumes of simultaneously intercepted radio signals in dense RF environments. Rohde & Schwarz solutions offer robust data basing of signal and track location parameters, intuitive mission management and reporting formats, technical signal descriptor-based automatic emitter recognition and identification, and flexible integration with combat operations systems. System design and integration crucial for mission success Maritime platforms are ideally suited for hosting a CESM/ RESM system. However, during the system design phase, particular attention must be paid to how the system will be integrated into the platform. The system s space and location requirements must be taken into consideration. For an RESM system, the nearer the system is to the antenna the better the signal reception, which is vital if modern lower power radars are to be intercepted. Due to the presence of numerous communications and radar transmitters on ships, electromagnetic interference (EMI) and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) issues must also be investigated. The vessel s metallic structure deforms a signal s arriving wavefront, which can distort direction finding results. These effects are usually compensated by performing a calibration cruise after the system is installed. These integration efforts are time-consuming, but they pay off by improving system accuracy and providing more precise results, thus improving the effectiveness of maritime missions. 4 More information 57

59 Maritime domain awareness Integrated antenna system for communications and electronic support If an ES system is to have optimal performance, it is preferable that an integrated antenna solution be placed on the top of the mast. The integrated antenna system from Rohde & Schwarz incorporates a concept for ES and radiocommunications on a single mast. It allows monitoring and direction finding of communications and radar signals plus radio transmission and reception, providing wide coverage and reliable operation. The integrated antenna system withstands extreme environmental conditions, in particular shock and electric discharge. Moreover, its minimized radar cross-section limits the exposure to enemy reconnaissance. Installed on top of the stacked communications antennas, the R&S ACD001 antenna system overlooks all obstacles on board the vessel, giving it the widest coverage and yielding the most accurate direction finding results. The R&S ACD001 can also be mounted independently of the communications antennas.
