The Joint Incident Site communications Capability (JISSC) Block 3 (B3) network management enhancement tool provides National Guard communications units with military Command & Control and National Incident Management System compatible site information using a mobile, standardized, modular, and commercial off-the-shelf communications platform. The JISCC B3 provides communications services at the incident site leveraging a bring-your-own-device approach to service access. However, there are two capability gaps: (1) monitoring and managing authorized network traffic at the incident site; and (2) defending the JISCC B3 network against cyber threats. Adding a network management enhancement tool with information protection and intrusion detection services mitigates these gaps. Additionally, due to wide-area network bandwidth limitations, network traffic is prioritized for services susceptible to latency limitations, such as voice and video. A network management enhancement tool improves Command & Control capabilities, and possibly, averts catastrophic failure of a network.
