Information Assurance (IA) Considerations for a Telemetry Network System (TmNS)

Abstract

The integrated Network Enhanced Telemetry (iNET) project was launched by the Central Test and Evaluation Investment Program (CTEIP) to foster network enhanced instrumentation and telemetry. The iNET program is preparing for the TmNS system demonstration. The goal of the demonstration is to prove that the proposed TmNS will meet the Test Capability Requirements Document (TCRD) and validate the iNET standards. One aspect of the preparation is looking at the IA issues and making decisions to ensure that the system will be certified and accredited, meet user needs, and be secure. This paper will explore a few of these considerations.
