Introduction
• 
Experiences from recent wars against nations and global terrorism have identified a need for
a much higher degree of information sharing and joint decision making among agencies.
• 
Meeting this need means increase in computing and communications capacities and the
replacement of current stove-piped information systems and networks by an integrated
infrastructure and service creation environment .
• 
The tremendous success of the Internet and web in providing an integrated environment in
the commercial arena have pushed governments to create Greater Information Grids to
enable net-centric operations and warfare.
• 
However, a number of technical challenges need to be addressed. EPICOM is contributing to
this effort and will play its role in helping governments and industries to find solutions to
these challenges.

8 New Global Scenarios
• 
Commercial world has seen the explosion of the Internet and intranet to supplement
ubiquitous telephony services as well as a major explosion in wireless telephony. We are
now also looking at the beginnings of the convergence of voice, data, and video services on
both wired and wireless networks.
• 
The governments and intelligence communities have not benefited fully from these
advances, from infrastructure integration, or from the new information sharing paradigm. As
their networks and information systems are stovepiped and have little interoperability.
• 
There are also critical bottlenecks in tactical networks, and the information sharing
philosophy is based on “need to know” rather than “need to share.”
• 
While the last experiences during recent wars against global terrorism have shown that the
ability to receive superior intelligence from multiple sources and media, to move
information rapidly, and to carry out joint missions easily has had a major force
multiplier effect. However, as mentioned above, these capabilities do not exist ubiquitously,
and experiences have also exposed vulnerabilities, bandwidth bottlenecks and problemes in
stovepiped communication infrastructures.

9 New Challenges
Challenges arise from several dimensions:
• 
A much stronger focus on the mission and more dynamic missions.
• 
An operational model that has elements of the public Internet as well as those of a large
Enterprise intranet with more demanding and more diverse requirements from applications .
• 
New requirements on relative precedence based on user and mission identities
• 
The much higher importance of security in military Communication
• 
A much higher fraction of users with wireless access
• 
The significantly higher use of satellite communication and the first use of satellites with
routers onboard
• 
More widely varying (spatially and temporally) RF conditions, which make the basic resource
itself unpredictable
• 
A much larger fraction of communication over mobile ad hoc networks, which have not
matured in commercial networking
• 
A much higher degree of infrastructure mobility, in addition to user mobility

Security and INTEROPERABILITY
• 
In this environment, security considerations add new requirements on routing protocols. In
particular, one must be able to authenticate route advertisements and protect against node
spoofing, node compromises, etc. Finally, the need to encrypt user data as well as original IP
headers, and the desire to limit the information passing from plain text to cipher text and cipher
text to plain text, create major new challenges in designing efficient routing protocols.
• 
Finally the new environment also needs higher diversity and survivability than commercial
counterparts and thus creates challenges for the interoperability:
• 
Due different implementations of IP-based IPSec ciphers, the NC3O has determined the
communication and security specifications for multinational/coalition interoperability of IP
security for NNEC IP services, this was referred to as the NII IP Network Encryptor (NINE).
• 
EPICOM is actively involved in the “NINE Interoperability Specifications Working
Group” (NISWG) since 2012. The evolution of the EP430GN will be implement the NINE
protocol specification.
• 
Also SCIP Interoperability Protocol was determined for END TO END SECURE
COMMUNICATIONS iused in IP networks and non-IP networks (GSM, SATCOM, ISDN, PSTN).
• 
EPICOM has developed the first equipment with the standard SCIP Multimedia mode (Voice & Video
over IP).
