Telecom Engineering to Support Defense R&D
 

Defense Information Systems Network – Leading Edge Services (DISN-LES)


The Client’s Challenge

In light new challenges to the nation’s defense, our client needed a single, secure global network for the design, development, testing, and transition of advanced, network-centric business and tactical applications.  Multi-level security access for NATO and Coalition forces, the ability to activate and deactivate bandwidth and circuits on demand, and real-time teleconferencing and data presentation capabilities were principal design requirements.  Existing services using multiple, disparate networks that were not capable of delivering seamless transmission of voice, data, and imagery were not suitable for meeting the customer’s requirements.

Meeting the Challenge

HAI designed and engineered a global, Asynchronous Transfer Mode network that presently supports more than 50,000 users in joint, allied, and coalition commands and forward-deployed areas.  The network is the principal environment for testing and integrating joint tactical applications, and is also used for joint exercises and coalition initiatives such as the Joint Warrior Interoperability Demonstration (JWID), Coalition Wide Area Network (CWAN), and Confederated Battle Labs Network (CFBLNet).
