The CFBLNet continued to support several key warfighting Initiatives during 2007.
Initiatives included: file transfer assurance techniques, Maritime C2 related to Sub Net
Relay (SNR) supporting net centric environments, and enhancements to tactical data
link (TDL) deployment. The network also supported national and coalition capability
development programmes, trials and exercises throughout the year. Some specific
success stories include the following:
• CFBLNet successfully demonstrated its ability to meet the demands ofincreasingly complex and diverse Initiatives. This success was recognized by
the GBR Chief of Defence Materiels (4 star) as he visited CWID 07, and
acknowledged with a Letter of Commendation the benefit of such an exercise,
for rapid “fieldability” of warfighting capability and for de-risking acquisition
programmes. GBR received thanks from operational staff at RAF Digby, JARIC
RAF Brampton and JFCOM USA for Empire Challenge 07 and BCME
respectively.
• CWID07 Initiatives conducted via the CFBLNet during 2007 have directlyresulted in a number of operational capabilities being fielded or progressed
through the acquisition pipeline (e.g. Assured File Transfer (AFT) by CENTCOM
and DISA, Maritime C2 Information System for Italy, Tactical Emergency Asset
Management deployed by US Department of Homeland Security, MobiKey Pilot
program for USN Reserves).
Additionally, several technical tests were conducted to enhance network service
