| | Joint Worldwide Intelligence Communications System (JWICS) |
| |
| | Primary Purpose | Provide a transmission path capable of secure |
| | video/data within defense intelligence community. |
| | At T1 speed allows: (1) transmission of imagery |
| | files and intelligence documents rapidly between |
| | sites; (2) real time two-way video |
| | teleconferencing between sites; (3) receipt of |
| | the intelligence community's TV broadcast of the |
| | Defense Intelligence Network (DIN); (4) |
| | connectivity to the Joint Intelligence Virtual |
| | Architecture (JIVA). Designed to provide 24-hour |
| | TS-SCI multimedia communications to include |
| | secure video teleconferencing (VTC). Replaces |
| | DISNET 3. |
| | Sub-Functions | JWICS Mobile Integrated Communications System |
| | (JMICS) is a deployable JWICS. Equipment is |
| | self-contained on a HMMWV. Containerized JWICS is |
| | a deployable JWICS system that is packaged into |
| | ten transit cases. |
| | Equipment Requirements | JWICS hardware is self-contained. Requires 120/60 |
| | power. |
| | Connectivity Requirements | T1 (1.544 mbps) pathway, usually satellite. Often |
| | used in conjunction with TROJAN SPIRIT. (1.024 |
| | mbps for VTC (2 X 512kbps), .384 mbps designated |
| | for data, .136 mbps for serial data channels and |
| | system control). |
| | Crypto Requirements | KY96/KG-194/KIV-7. |
| | Normal Locations | Over 150 fixed sites to include all major |
| | commands. Ten JMICS available for |
| | contingency/crisis response (maintained at DIA). |
| | Approximately 20 containerized JWICS available |
| | for contingency/crisis response. |
| | Information Managed | Point to point and multi-point secure VTC |
| | service. Broadcast and video programming of |
| | Defense Intelligence Network. Bulk data transfer |
| | of a variety of network services. |
| | Products Created | This is a communications path. Products are |
| | produced by systems on this path. |
| | Lead Service/Contractor | Defense Intelligence Agency. |
| | Current Fielding Status | Operational; planning in progress to increase |
| | mobile JWICS assets. Asynchronous Transfer Mode |
| | (ATM) multicast is under development to allow an |
| | unlimited number of receivers and a limited |
| | number of transmitters to participate in a JWICS |
| | command brief outside of a JWICS conference room. |
| | Known Problems | Slow data rates can result in poor VTC. |
