The use of unmanned platforms will provide a low-cost and effective means to provision situational awareness for the U.S. Navy. Due to the diversity and the rapid evolution of unmanned platforms, the use of standards-based interfaces and protocols will facilitate the integration of new technologies and upgrades. Standards-based implementations are critical for long term success. This presentation will summarize a prototype created by the NSA and Draper which enables an ad hoc network consisting of hundreds of unmanned vehicles. The prototype will utilize several OASIS interoperability standards: KMIP for key management, PKCS11 for cryptographic tokens controlling authentication information and OpenC2 for machine-to-machine commanding. The speakers will demonstrate how the use of abstract standards enables the integration of diverse platforms and the ability to replace or modify functional blocks within the cyber defense system.
