Proposal Statement
On-Board Secure Global Networked Connectivity
Recommendation Information
The requirement to communicate and disseminate information securely via BLOS with multiple assets and agencies is critical to the HC-130Js ability to execute its doctrinal role of combat search and rescue coordinator (CSAR-C). The HC-130J needs the ability to utilize secure internet while on board the aircraft for rescue forces to fully support information superiority operations.
Background. ANG HC-130Js require secure, continuous, on-board connectivity over wideband
beyond-line-of-site (BLOS) systems. The requirement to communicate and disseminate
information securely via BLOS with multiple assets and agencies is critical to the HC-130Js
ability to execute its doctrinal role of combat search and rescue coordinator (CSAR-C). Currently,
the HC-130J relies on an outdated BLOS voice communication radio to exchange critical survivor
information from command and control sources, delaying the isolated personnel recovery effort.
The existing satellite constellation has reached end-of-life and must be replaced with Mobile User
Objective System (MUOS)-capable radios to ensure BLOS capability. The limited voice-only
BLOS capability hinders the CSAR-C’s ability to gather information in a timely manner and
severely limits data flow during CSAR operations. The HC-130J needs the ability to utilize secure
internet while on board the aircraft for rescue forces to fully support information superiority
operations. Furthermore, the HC-130J requires enhanced situational awareness during domestic
support operations with on-board unclassified internet capability for civil agency data and video
interoperability. The integration of an organic digital network for unencrypted/encrypted internet
on-board delivers efficient information sharing across Multi-User Internet Relay Chat (MIRC) ,
Secret Internet Protocol Router (SIPR) , Joint Worldwide Intelligence Communications System
(JWICS) , and Non-Classified Internet Protocol Router (NIPR) architectures. One of each system
and two ARC-210 Gen 6 radios are required for each of the 12 HC-130Js in the ANG.
