TCA Attributes• Independent and Interoperable Systems across IC, DoD, NASA

• Net Centric Operations Enabled by IP and Guaranteed Service

• Dynamic Allocation of Net Resources; Highly Available Infrastructure

• Black Core Source Encrypted

• End-to-End Security Architecture

• More user Transparent, Highly Automated Network Management and IA

• Processed (X, Ka, EHF), Protected, Survivable, and Endurable Comms (EHF)

• COTM enabling higher capacity and smaller, more flexible terminals

• Synchronized terminal development, fewer types & smaller terminals

• Enable more Perceptive, Persistent, Global, and Robust ISR

• 24/7 contact availability with all space and airborne assets (MA S-band)

• Integrated Mission Planning Capability

TCA will be updated and reviewed periodically (every 2 years to sync up with PPBS processes) to accommodate

changing requirements and technologiesUNCLASSIFIED//FOUO

Path Without TCA• Enhanced capabilities within stovepipes! Very limited Interoperability with segregated svcs! Sensor to Shooter Latency! Non-synchronized Terminal Developments! Limited ability to support emerging Information Dissemination Management (IDM) vision

Path With TCA• Enables Network Centric Operations• Standards Based Interoperability and Integrated Services• Increased communications connectivity and capacity• Robust, adaptable, dynamic and flexible network services• Integrated Operations Centers• Accommodates Multi Security Levels• Enables new information exploitation models, i.e. fusion
