Tactical Cross Domain Solutions
Advatech Pacific’s Tactical Cross Domain
Solutions are uniquely suited for sharing
information at the tactical edge
In today’s increasingly connected battle space, instant information
sharing is a necessity. For such systems, a cross domain solution
(CDS) is a key enabling technology. A CDS allows selective,
assured communication between networks of different levels of
security by controlling the data flowing between the two networks. A
high quality CDS does this by content aware inspection of the data,
passing the data items unchanged, sanitizing individual items, or
blocking the data flow entirely, according to a pre-specified security
policy rule set. A good CDS also validates that the data flow content
is well-structured and contains only good values for each individual
data item to reduce the risk of covert channels or the transfer of
malware content.
As mobile devices become an essential part of the war-fighter’s kit, the
need for network connectivity extends down to the individual soldier.
With this expansion of the network, the challenge of cybersecurity is
a critical concern. A robust CDS capable of withstanding the harsh
environmental conditions and physical constraints of a soldier kit or
crowded vehicle can provide an effective cyber defense mechanism
at the far reaches of the network. At the tactical edge, a CDS must
not only protect sensitive systems from cyber threats, but it must
also protect itself from compromise in the event that it falls into
adversary hands.

Common Core Security Framework
CyberGuard™ is the common core security
framework used in TACDS™ and CenturionCDS™. A common core means fewer changes
to adapt the CDS to a new tactical application
which directly translates into faster certification
cycles. The CyberGuard™ core provides a
robust security framework for all future generations of Advatech’s cyber security products.
Low Size, Weight and Power (SWaP)
The CyberGuard™ core security framework is
specifically targeted to operate on the embedded hardware systems that need small, lightweight, low power products, like TACDS™ and
CenturionCDS™. This allows Advatech’s CDS
products to be deployed in tactical vehicles,
command posts, shelters, aircraft, unmanned
vehicle system (UVSs), remote sensors and
even in dismounted soldier kits.

Built-in Anti-tamper
With CyberGuard™, robust FIPS 140-2 Level 4 tamper resistance is built-in. Attempts to
break into the device are detected and countered even when the system is powered down;
everything stored inside the device is securely
encrypted. This means that a CDS, even when
forward deployed in a hostile environment or
lost behind enemy lines, is protected from unauthorized access automatically.
Ease of Use
CyberGuard™ is meant to be user-friendly. A
CyberGuard™ CDS operates automatically
at power-up without any user interaction. This
means that there is no impact to vehicle crew,
command post personnel, or individual dismounted soldiers. It also means that the CDS
can operate in UAV, radar stations and remote
sensor networks without human intervention.

Tactical Cross Domain Solutions
Potential Tactical Cross Domain Applications
Situational Awareness and Command & Control
TACDS™ and CenturionCDS™, both built on the CyberGuard™ core cross domain
solution technology, support a wide variety of tactical deployments and systems.
Each CyberGuard™ based CDS can process numerous mission-enabling tactical
data and message formats to provide instant, secure access to real-time information
for all war-fighters on the battlefield. With its broad capabilities and tactical focus, the
CyberGuard™ CDS family is well suited for the diverse tactical requirements of the
modern battlefield.
Example Uses
■■ VMF Messages
■■ SA & C2 Data
■■ Position/Location
Information (PLI)
■■ MEDEVAC Information
■■ Link-16/JREAP
Coalition Interoperability
Example Uses
■■ STANAG 4677
■■ Realtime C2 & SA
■■ ISR Video Collaboration
On the front line the ability to exchange tactical situational awareness (SA) and command and
control (C2) data in real-time greatly enhances mission success. Sharing this information in realtime across security domains improves both the warfighters’ and commanders’ comprehension
of the battle space, decreases decision cycles, and reduces the chance for friendly fire incidents.
A cross domain solution installed in vehicles or carried by dismounted soldiers maintains network
cyber security and allows information to flow between the individual soldier and the command level
networks.
Real-time Condition Based Maintenance
Information sharing between coalition partners in today’s battlefield is challenging due to each
nation’s ISR and Battle Management Systems being isolated from other nations’. Sharing time
sensitive information with another country is a cumbersome manual process that is compounded
because each national system is unique and may rely on custom or proprietary information
exchange protocols. NATO has recently ratified Dismounted Soldier System Standards and
Protocols for C4 Interoperability standardization agreement 4677 (STANAG 4677), which provides a
protocol and messaging standard for real-time information exchange at the dismounted soldier level.
The remaining challenges are adapting STANAG 4677 to each national system’s custom protocols
and providing each nation the ability to limit the situational awareness information to be shared with
other nations.
A CyberGuard™ based tactical CDS can address both of these challenges. Using the Advatech
Pacific developed Coalition Interoperability Gateway, a CyberGuard™ CDS can seamlessly translate
in real-time between a coalition standard format like the NATO STANAG 4677 and a national format
like the US MIL-STD-6017 VMF. This translator approach provides a more cost effective way to
share information as compared to upgrading all of a nation’s tactical systems to the new format.
Also, since the Coalition Interoperability Gateway is built on a CyberGuard™ CDS, the utilizing
nation automatically gets a robust and flexible filtering engine that can be used to selectively limit the
sharing of sensitive data with partner nations.

Example Uses
■■ Vehicle Health &
Status Monitoring
■■ Remote Maintenance
& Vehicle Diagnostics
■■ Fuel & Ammunition
Level Monitoring
A big challenge of maintaining a fighting force in the field is the cost and complexity of its logistics
tail. Keeping track of the health and status of each of the unit’s vehicles while it is in operation,
commonly referred to as Condition Based Maintenance (CBM), greatly reduces the size and cost
of the logistics tail. With the inclusion of our rugged tactical CDS, TACDS™, unclassified logistics
data can be shared in real-time across the tactical network to operations personnel in the classified
command post networks. This real-time access to information such as fuel, ammo state and vehicle
health and status data permits more efficient logistics planning and delivery. Furthermore the
vehicle health and status data enables prognostics and diagnostics algorithms to fix things before
the break or more rapidly fix them when they do break.

Sharing live video among all levels of a combat force has been demonstrated to be a huge force
multiplier. CyberGuard™ based tactical CDS products, with their support for full motion video,
mitigate security concerns and enable this crucial video distribution on the battlefield in realtime. Sensors and other ISR assets deployed statically on the ground or on airborne or vehicular
platforms provide key raw data for intelligence, surveillance, or reconnaissance analysts. Our
tactical CDS provides a key cyber security element that allows the sensors to be both remotely
accessed and remotely controlled in real-time, enabling valuable sensor data to be quickly
analyzed to provide more timely intelligence to affect the outcome of an engagement or a more
secure force protection posture for a perimeter.
Advatech Pacific’s CyberGuard™ Core security framework includes a pluggable filter
component architecture that allows content aware filtering of custom data flows.
Filter components for the following data formats are currently available or in
development. Special purpose filters can be rapidly customized for your specific
application.

Cueing Messages
Unmanned Vehicle Systems (UVS) have become an integral part of the modern battlefield but
controlling a UVS is complex and has introduced many new security challenges. UVSs frequently
have unclassified vehicle management subsystems and its payload sensors or subsystems
round and Control System (GCS) and remote tactical user terminalsmay include a mix of both
unclassified and classified security domains. CyberGuard™ based tactical CDS products are well
suited for the security challenges of UVS platforms and GCS and address the need to protect the
security boundaries both on and off-board the platform. Additionally, a CyberGuard™ CDS acts as
a strong cyber defense guard to prevent hostile takeover of the platform.
