8 Agenda What is DHFCS History (Where did DHFCS emerge from?) Strategic HF Requirement (What do we do?) The Approach (How was DHFCS conceived and implemented?) The Services (What do we Deliver and where?) Recent Developments (What have we been up to?) The Future (Crystal Ball Time)

10 History

11 UK Strategic HF Communications - History RN / RAF traditionally operating independent HF Systems: Overlaps in Capability Capability Gaps High Running Costs: Personnel / Support Infrastructure / Power Maintenance / Obsolescence Issues Low Equipment Availability (Typically 40-50%) Loss of Knowledge high Military staff turnover Stove-Piped Services: Lack of Flexibility Low Utilisation (HF only a Fallback to SAT for Messaging)

14 Strategic HF Requirement

15 UK MoD DHFCS Strategic HF Requirement Provide compliance with NATO BRASS Program Centralised Control, Operation & Delivery of all High Frequency Audio / Voice / Data Services in the UK and OVRS. Concurrent Service Delivery & Capability Enhancement Program Amalgamation / Upgrading of Legacy RN & RAF Infrastructure & Control Systems / Technology Refresh To meet UK SDR for a normal Peacetime Day plus 6 small scale deployments based upon IER s as agreed by HQ Land, Air, Navy Command, PJHQ and NATO Provide a suitable vehicle to enable UK Defence to exploit advances in HF technologies and waveforms now and in the future

16 The Approach

17 DHFCS The Approach SITE RATIONALISATION PROGRAM CAPABILITY ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM SITE INTEGRATION TESTING O&M OF ALL STATIONS INFORMATION EXCHANGE REQUIREMENT SYSTEM SIZING ANALYSIS SYSTEM ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN COVERAGE ANALYSIS SERVICE DELIVERY REVISED CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS SERVICE TESTING TRANSFER OF RISK NO SERVICE REQUIREMENT. WHERE, HOW MANY, AVAILABILITY, ASSURANCE,,PERFORMANCE, STANDARDS ETC THE RIGHT EQUIPMENT IN THE RIGHT NUMBERS IN THE RIGHT LOCATIONS. CAPACITY AND CAPABILITY. INFRASTRUCTURE / SYSTEM DESIGN. KEEP WHICH SITES? MODELLING TO VALIDATE THE PREVIOUS STEPS AGAINST A PROPAGATION WORST DAY. CONTRACTORISATION SYSTEM, SERVICE & COVERAGE VALIDATION BABCOCK / DHFCS ASSUMES SERVICE DELIVERY RESPONSIBILITY RISK & ASSURANCE FOR ALL MOD STRATEGIC HF SERVICES

31 UK FLEET HQ Use of HF UK MoD Defence Budgets driving increased use of HF UK FLEET All platforms East of Suez using HF for all formal messaging. (SAT only those platforms west of Suez on Ops) Approx 15K saving per platform / month by use of HF v s SAT Ship Shore & Rear Link Statistics 2010 / 2011 Messages per month

33 The Future Resurgence of HF Wideband HF

34 The Future Continued Resurgence of HF due to: Integral part of C 2 Operations Concern over operating in SAT denied environments Complimentary to existing SAT Services Financial Constraints: HF increasingly attractive. Improving Technology HF increasingly viable as a Strategic Bearer Wideband HF Increased throughput / capacity Balance of User Requirement v s Cost Do the same with less infrastructure (Cost Driven) Existing Services delivered Do more with the same infrastructure (User/Technology Driven) B/W hungry applications / technologies / services I/P over HF increasingly attractive

35 The Future Cont d Implement the USAF (Scope Command) Data Information Agreement (IA) Improved Reach into DHFCS Region 3
