RESTRICTED INTEGRATION BETWEEN AUTOMATIC AUTOMA TIC MESSAGING SWITCHING SYSTEM (AMSS) AND COMMAND, CONTROL, COMMUNICATION AND INTELLIGENCE (C3 I) IN FUTURE FUTURE MAL AYSIAN ARMED FORCES  FORCES  INTRODUCTION

1.

In Malaysian Armed Forces (MAF), the system plays an important role in order

to support the operational of the organization. So that, the system have make the work easier then before. There is many system that have been developed by our Subject Matter Expert (SME) and being outsources from the outside for our organizational use. In aspect of security, the system must be secured in order to prevent the information is being leakage to the outsider especially from adversary.

In this paperwork, we are

more focused on secure system that is commonly used which is Automated Messaging Switching System (AMSS) and Command, Control, Communication and Intelligence (C3I). 2.

The idea of integration for both of the system is started from our Chief Defense

Forces (CDF), which he want the research is to be done to see whether it is good for the MAF and our government especially in term of integration, financial and security. From that our Assistant Chief Of Staff Defense Communication and Electronic Division also have been being task to do a research for the better communication for the next MAF generation. The idea of converging the network also being discuss in MAF ICT Council Meeting serial 1/2017 dated 15th Jan 16 decided that the network of the system have been integrate by using same IP VPN which can save the money without additional cost. Now the overall system is being converged by using NWC but there is some of the placement is still in standalone. The expansion of AMSS and C3I also have been determine and include in Malaysia 2015 until 2017 budget which is focused on the development and integration of the system1. Beside that, Information Technology Strategic Planning MinDef 2016 - 2020 also focused on the integration of the system in future MAF.2  1

History of Command, Control, Communication and Intelligent (C3I). The C3I ATM

system was first developed by GEC Marconi Company in 1990 and handed over to the  ATM in 1996. In the beginning beginning of 1997, the improvement improvement initiative initiative was taken with the appointment of System Consultancy Services (SCS) Sdn Bhd to implement maintenance on the system. Due to the rapid increase in technological factors and the increasing need, the C3I MAF system requires changes and improvements. This involves changes to organizations and functions, dubious system security issues, hardware and software interrupts caused by Y2K and software structures that have limitations to changes. Therefore, the action taken by taking a cost effective approach for the long term is by developing the software in total and replacing the existing hardware. The PX2000 software was later developed by the cooperation of SCS Sdn Bhd and the ATM before the system evolved into the NC2 System as it applies today. Connection contract extension was implemented in 2001 until now.

BASIC BA SIC CONCEPT CONCEPT AND A ND UNDERSTANDING UNDERSTANDING THE SYSTEM IN MAF OVERVIEW

11.

AMSS. AMSS also known as Automatic Messaging Services System is a system

that provide the communication for messaging using Allied Communication Publication procedure (ACP 123). The message that is sent are based on security classification and priority of the message. This system have two encryption way which is encryption using message encryption and secure network. The system also include with security which have biometric device and smart card for multi authentication.

C3I. C3I also known as Command, Control, Communication Communicati on and Intelligence is a

system which provide the secret information to the commander in order to do a decision. It also provide command and control among the commander and COPS through the network. This system is now used in a formation in order to provide command, control and act as decision maker from an appointment military commander. It is developed by using Local Area Network (LAN) concept and Wide Area Network (WAN). This system is integrate with all three services including Joint Services. Now there is about 103 C3I placement  placement   in Malaysia. This system also provide Strategic Communication Network, ADP, Communication System and Video Conference. 13.

This system using distributed database database and update by the local user from time to

time. Although the system is integrate with all services but the database is used by own services. The system can support for Joined Forces, Military Operation Other Than War (MOOTW), Human Assistant Disaster Relief (HADR) and public operation. This system is also design to allow the user to get the data based on user access control (user role). RPS is responsible to maintain and technical advisor to all C3I placement. If the system is failure, user can submit the report through Help Desk Online System that’s operate for 24 hours. 6 RESTRICTED

 

RESTRICTED 14.

The integration of the database is happen for MAF which which is located at Defense

Operating Room (DOR). Joint C3I can get the data from 3 database by services and own database. The use of this system is able to provide and disseminate accurate information thoroughly using a secure system. It also helps the government to give direction and control in war, threats, riots and natural disasters based on existing information. Since the C3I system is capable of supporting current and future operating needs, the system's capabilities need to be enhanced to meet the need to support the Network Centric Operation (NCO) system during 2015 - 2020.

RESTRICTED CONSTRAINTS

34.

The constraint for integration is as followed:

a.

There is 156x AMSS placement and 3x C3I line that is still standalone.

b.

Many of AMSS line have maximum speed 512 and 256 Kbps.

c.

The software of both system is different.

d.

Will increase the initial cost for convergence system and rate of rent will

be increase. e.

Use 2 different equipment and crypto software.

REQUIREMENT FOR INTEGRATION

35.

The integration of the system is become crucial to the highest commander. It is

also to ensure all the system is parallel and to ensure all the system integrate each other. It can provide command and control to the organization. Now both system have to integrate the line by using IP VPN. However certain location is integrate and certain places is still standalone because some of the place does not have C3I.

36.

In NCO there is an integration between all system. By using C3I as a backbone

and the other system to support the operation, It can provide all data in order to give to the higher commander to do a decision. The system is still in different use because of roles and task of the system is different each other.

37.

By using X-Band, it can be an alternatives and platform to communicate between

each other. The presence of X-Band will help to communicate using satellite as a platform. Although it is a strategic asset now it have been used until tactical level. It can be shown when the procurement of the X-Band have been issued to the unit until tactical level.

RESTRICTED SECURITY

39.

The security is a crucial part which is compulsory in every system. In AMSS and

C3I there is certain element of the security between them that should be considered. The security element of the system must followed the principle below:

a.

Confidentiality. Confidential ity. Information and communication systems only can be

handle and reached by authorized persons only. It can be show that the  

system have their own security for example biometric device, card and password. We can combine it together to get the system more secure. b.

Integrity. Information and systems should always be accurate and correct.

c.

Availability. Information, systems and hardware always accessible to

eligible users when required. d.

Non-Repudiation. Non-Repudiati on. Transaction of every information in a system is

recorded. Dispatches and receivers information in a system cannot deny the transaction process that happens. 3

RESTRICTED RECOMMENDATIONS

40.

The both system is already established from 1990 and above. Then, what we

have must be improvise from time to time due to the technology changes and industry revolution 4.0, so that we can have the better system for our future use. From my analysis, the system can be integrate as we considered the subject is as followed:

a.

Strength of the Unit and Different Roles and Task. Based on my research

the unit itself have different roles and task. Both system are act as strategic and operational communication which AMSS is only for admin and daily messaging while C3I is for operational that includes all requirement and needed for the commander. For future, we can consider a few thing is as followed:

(1)

Maintain what we have now and just more focus on technical and

development part which one system can be used both of the unit which is 91 RSR and RPS. (2)

The one of the responsible for the AMSS Cell can be detached

from 91 RSR to RPS but certain thing must be consider and the paperwork should be done and must be coordinate properly. (3)

Management of the system can be centralize or execute by a team

member.

b.

Increase Placement of Standalone to Convergence Network. In aspect of

the network the system is already be converged by both of the network. The convergence also have save a budget without additional cost required. There is 45 placement that have been converged the network. However, there is 156 placement of AMSS that is not converged the network with the C3I. In future we can do a research and focus more to the AMSS standalone for integration. c.

Enhance the Security of The System. In aspect of security we can do a

comparison for both of the system which they have their own crypto and different in security aspect. We can be suggest the both system used the same crypto and 23 RESTRICTED

 

RESTRICTED do some improvise by using both of the crypto which one is the best. To authenticate we can used and increase the aspect of security system used by both of the system such as card and biometric authentication. d.

Technology and Software Development. The technology and software

have been unchanged and ageing. In order to suit with the latest technology we suggested that the system can be integrate but must be design it very well and user friendly. In the next contract we can suggest the research can be include in the contract so that the development of the system and module can be improvise very well. To save the cost of budget, we also can suggest that to create a team member to develop the software. The team member should be Subject Matter Expert (SME) and go to the course that are related such as software engineering and focus to the development of the system. e.

Improvise the Wi-fi Wi-f i Infrastructure Network For Every Placement. Placement . The

system is already allocate to every formation and unit. In a worldwide of digital and internet of things we also must consider the used of wi-fi internet and internet for workstation. The used of the internet can improve daily work and make all the information is can be access worldwide. We can suggest that wi-fi infrastructure can be include for the next contract. For the first time, it required a high cost but in future when we have an infrastructure we just have to maintain it and allocate for maintenance. f.

Allocate the AMSS at Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) Ship and C3I

placement until Unit Level. Based on the research both of the system is allocate at certain placement for used and focus on the usage and roles and task. What we can suggest is the used of AMSS is suggested to be link to the RMN ship that is now operating. It is to ensure the information and admin part can be easily be send. In C3I we can upgrade the allocation until the unit so that the commander in Bde and Div level can command and control the unit under command itself.

RESTRICTED CONCLUSION

41.

Based on the research, we can conclude that in MAF the system is now are

converged the line without converged the system. We can recommended that in the future the system can be integrate each other but it will affect to an organization, role and task, cost and related as stated in this paper. If the system is integrate, the things that should be considered is the cost and the usage of the system. We must consider the utilization of the system to prevent us from wasteful. This paper also tell us about the both system in term of capability, what we do now and planning in the future MAF. (5217 words) Sep 2019
