GBS Overview - Objectives

• Upon successful completion of this lesson, the student will be able to: State the purpose of the GBS

Identify the components of the GBS

Describe the operational characteristics of the GBS

Purpose of GBS

GBS is a Department of Defense (DoD) directed program to provide the warfighter with a near

worldwide, high-throughput broadcast information system for one-way, high-speed information flow.

23.5 (up to 45.0) Megabits per second (Mbps)

Larger Throughput = Faster Dissemination = Better Service to Warfighter

Information can be disseminated using either smart push or user pull. Smart push is when some information is deemed necessary for mission accomplishment, possibly by an outside agency, and that information is automatically “pushed” to the user. User pull is when the user finds some information that he needs that can be sent over GBS and requests that information. Users request information via GBS using the GBS Mission Request (GMR) form, which will be discussed later in this course.

GBS Data Rate Comparison Global Broadcast Service (GBS) is a one-way transmit suite to receive suite that can reach data speeds of 23.5 Megabits up to 45 Megabits per second (Mbps). In comparison, a 1.1 Mb Data package using the MILSTAR Medium Data Rate (MDR) takes approximately 5.6 seconds to transmit. With GBS, that same package can be transmitted in less than one-half second.

GBS UFO KA Architecture

GBS Ka ARCHITECTURE GBS uses transponders from two Ka-band Ultra High Frequency (UHF) Follow-On (UFO) satellites (UFO8 and UFO10), TWO Ka-band Wideband Global Satellite Communications (WGS) satellites, and various Ku and Ka-band commercial satellites. Each satellite is served by a primary uplink site (Transmit Suite). The Transmit Suite assembles and transmits information to the satellite, which relays it to multiple GBS Receive Suites within a large geographical area. The satellites downlink the information via wide beam to a large area or by narrow beam to specific localized spots. GBS also provides the capability to transmit pre-assembled information directly from information sources through the SBM. Information may also be transmitted directly from the theater served by GBS through a transportable Theater Injection Point (TIP) system. Receive Suites receive and decode the information, then distribute it to end users over Local Area Networks (LANs). There are various types of Receive Suites, including transportable ground, shipboard, and sub-surface. All Receive Suites are equipped with a Crypto Unit that decrypts Classified broadcasts. A Receive Suite (RS) consists of a Receive Terminal (RT) and either one or two RBMs.]

7

GBS WGS KA Architecture

WGS Satellites WGS satellites are geosynchronous. Their exact location however varies slightly throughout the year in a figure-eight pattern. The NGRT has ephemeris data for commonly used satellites stored in memory, eliminating the need to contact the SBM. Each WGS satellite comes equipped with six Narrow Coverage Area (NCA) antennas, or spot beams, that provide up to 500 nautical miles of coverage. Each of the six transponders transmits data at a specific frequency. Transponders have a nominal bandwidth of 23.5 Mbps, but can operate up to a maximum of 45 Mbps per transponder on demand. Beam movement is planned at the SBM, based on RBM locations and mission priorities. The plan is then forwarded to the Wideband Satellite Communications (SATCOM) Operations Center (WSOC), which controls antenna movement on the WGS satellites. Using high power transponders and focused spot beams and/or area coverage beams, users in different areas can be provided targeted, high bandwidth video/data. Using a fanned network configuration, the SBM can transmit up to six NCA spot beams over a standard four beam broadcast

To the Transmit Segment

Satellite Broadcast Manager

GBS consists of three segments, Transmit Segment, Space Segment, and Receive Segment. The Transmit Segment consists of the fixed site Transmit Suites and the transportable Theater Injection Points (TIP). Both work in a similar manner, they may however, handle different information. Either one will get its information from some data source. The Satellite Broadcast Manager (SBM) will take that information and package it for transmission. The SBM will forward that information to the Primary Injection Point (PIP) for transmission to the Space Segment. The SBM is a facility containing multiple bays of broadcast and communications equipment. There is an SBM dedicated to each of the UFO and WGS satellites. In addition, the SBMs can also uplink to commercial Ku-band satellites, when required. The SBM creates the final uplink programming data streams for each transponder of their satellite(s). The SBM has the capabilities and information to build the transponder streams, network management, program guides, security services (i.e., encryption, decryption, key management, source authentication, Over the Air Re-key (OTAR) and multilevel security), directory services, and downlink management scheduling.

TRANSMIT SUITE: The Transmit Suites consist of the Primary Injection Point (PIP) and the SBM. The PIP is a fixed site, satellite communications terminal, that transmits information received from the SBM to satellites. It tracks and transmits signals at Ka-band to UFO and WGS satellites and at Ku and Ka-band to commercial satellites. THEATER INJECTION POINT: The TIP is a transportable GBS broadcast management and uplink system that provides Joint Force Commanders (JFCs) a means of transmitting theater information to subordinate forces. Because the TIP is transportable and under the direct control of the commander, it significantly enhances the commander's ability to deliver information to assigned forces. A TIP is composed of a Transportable Satellite Broadcast Manager (TSBM) AN/TSQ-246 and the Satellite Communications System AN/TSC-156B (Phoenix Terminal). TSBM performs many of the same functions as the SBM at the fixed sites. The Phoenix Terminal is a transportable Tactical Satellite Communications Terminal (TACSAT), which operates at Super High Frequency (SHF) bands (C, X, Ku, and Ka) over commercial and military satellites. It performs function similar to the PIP at the fixed site.

NGRT

RECEIVE SEGMENT The Receive Segment, also known as the Receive Suite (RS), consists of the NGRT and RBM. There are several categories of Receive Suites including ground, shipboard, and subsurface and there are several versions within each category. This course covers the RS AN/TSR-8 commonly known as the TSR-8. It is one of the ground receive suites. The AN/TSR-8 has two servers, one housed in the RBM transit case, and the other located in the NGRT transit case, both of which are configured with GBS Unique Software (GUS).

12

GBS UFO Ka Satellite Coverage

UFO Coverage Currently, there are two UFO satellites (UFO 8 and UFO 10) with GBS payloads. They provide four transponders each with Ka-band downlink frequencies of 20.295, 20.425, 20.475, and 20.595 GHz respectively.

13

WGS Ka Coverage

WGS Coverage Currently, there are three WGS satellites (WGS 1 and WGS 2 and WGS-3) with GBS payloads. They each provide six NCA antennas with Ka-band downlink frequencies.

14

Commercial Ku and Ka Satellites

COMMERCIAL Ku and Ka SATELLITES Commercial satellites are used to broadcast to locations not covered by the UFO satellites (such as North America, Atlantic Ocean, Spain, and parts of western Africa) and to areas requiring additional capacity such as Europe. Commercial satellites typically use Ku-band frequencies and can be either circularly or linearly polarized. Because the leasing of GBS supported commercial satellites will change from year to year, specific satellite names are not mentioned here.

Operational Characteristics of GBS

OPERATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF GBS Can include; classified and unclassified weather information, mapping images, intelligence data, classified and unclassified video, and web sites. User Pull – This service uses an abbreviated request that compliments the regularly scheduled broadcast. End-users request, without a GMR, immediately needed information products and/or very large information products that may be required only once. User Pull employs Immediate File Delivery (IFD). User Pull assumes the end-user has a secure means to communicate with the SBM. Communications channels are usually SIPRNET. Smart Push – This is the primary method for delivering information products to the end-user. End-users identify information products required on a reoccurring, non-emergency basis. These products may be located on the Program Catalogue, SEPG or other repository. Products are requested by submitting information on a GMR.

16

File Based Services (queued) based on PriorityImmediate File Delivery (IFD) -The IFD Service allows an

authorized source to create an IFD hot folder at the SBM then File Transfer Protocol (FTP) files into this folder. The files will be immediately prepared for broadcast.

Web Service - Allows web crawl to pull information of interest from Web Sources by the SBM.

GBS Delivery Services (Data)

GBS DELIVERY SERVICES: The Planning and Management software used by the SBM provides a suite of editors on the SIPRNET designed for Theater Information Managers, Sources and Units to view, add, edit, and delete the data in the GBS database. This interface is used to model the system and control the broadcast from the Unclassified and Classified SBM enclaves using two types of services; File Based and Streaming. FILE BASED SERVICES: Immediate File Delivery (IFD) Service: Files in the hot folder are immediately sent out over the broadcast or queued for later delivery. If the freshness period of the file expires before transmission, the file is not sent. WEB SERVICE: The Mirrored Web Service mirrors selected contents of a source website over the satellite to the Receive Suite. The SBM Collection Manager crawls the web site and creates an internally linked web package. The web data is collected according to the crawl configuration parameters set up when the program is registered. The crawls are repeated based on the refresh parameters, and are made available to the end user through a web browser interface.

17

Streaming Services (scheduled):

• Video – Video products arriving at the SBM from sources are encoded and delivered to the RBM as IP over MPEG with or without FEC added.

• UAV/Predator – To receive UAV/Predator video products, requestor must submit request via Chain of Command. (Contact CENTCOM TIM)

• Streaming Packet –Any multicast or UDP product that is tunneled through the SBM for which GBS does not have visibility into the content. This could be a source encrypted IP data.

GBS Delivery Services (Video)

STREAMING SERVICES: Internet Protocol (IP) to IP Video and Streaming Packet Services can be encoded with Forward Error Correction (FEC). FEC increases video stream reliability and adds latency proportionate to the amount of FEC applied. IP to IP Video Service (Predator/UAV feeds) The IP to IP Video Service allows a source to define and send an IP video to the SBM for broadcast. The Receive Suite provides an IP video stream to the end user. Users must submit request to CENTCOM TIM via appropriate Chain of Command. Form is located on CENTCOM TIM Website. Streaming Packet Service: The Streaming Packet Service allows a source to define and send an IP multicast or unicast stream to the SBM for broadcast. The Receive Suite provides an identical IP stream for end user consumption.

WARNING:

Do not expose this battery to extreme high temperatures or incinerate because of the risk of explosion.


The KG-250 requires some voltage at all times to maintain its functionality.

Three electrical sources• Prime DC Power – always applied during operation and should remain

on whenever possible.

• External battery – backup to retain keys and RTC (field replaceable)

• Internal battery – will retain keys if external battery drained (non-rechargeable, but may retain key splits up to six months)

IF ALL THREE FAIL, KG-250 must be sent to ViaSat for Depot repair.

188


The KG-250 is shipped with an external “C-size” battery in a special holder that is only for use during storage and shipment.

The “1/2AA-size” external battery is standard for operations and can be used during shipment and limited storage periods.

Should “LOW BATTERY” LED light, emergency operating procedures will be required to continue KG-250 use. This LED indicates drained internal battery

• KEEP PRIME DC POWER ON

GBS Network Integration

279

GBS NetworkIntegration - Objectives

• Upon successful completion of this lesson, the student will be able to:– Explain Bandwidth and Video Distribution methods

– Explain how to configure the servers to connect to a site LAN maintaining GBS IP addresses

– Explain how to configure the servers to connect to a site LAN using site LAN IP addresses for all GBS equipment

– Explain how to connect a router for network integration

280

Web Content / IFD / Bandwidth• Web Content

• Both laptops host downloaded web content via Apache Web Server software• Unit systems connect to the content via a web browser by typing in the local IP address assigned to the laptop in the address bar

• IFD• Files received via IFD can be downloaded as a link from the laptop’s homepage, or automatically pushed out using FTP• Automated Push requires FTP server software to be running on the receiving end

• Receive end must either create an FTP account, or allow for anonymous user access

• FTP ports and protocols must be enabled between the RBM and the receive point

• Bandwidth requirements• Browsing the web content is limited to the size of the web pages. Average size would be 15k, but can vary greatly

• This should not be of concern since the bandwidth would be used regardless of what means the end user is browsing the web page

• Moving the downloaded files from the RBM to your client systems is dependant on the file size• Most TOCs are running on a Gigabit backbone, but have limited connectivity between locations. At this time downloaded files via IFD folders, and multicast video should not be pushed off the network segments not connected with fiber or 100 Mbps devices

Video Distribution

• Video– Comes out of the RBM as multicast MPEG2 streams– Each stream has its own IP address– Requires software at the destination such as Helios or VLC to watch

the video– The Amino is used to convert the signal from IP to NTSC for display

on any device with RCA connections– Bandwidth = 1.8 Mbps per channel, because the stream is multicast

this amount of bandwidth does not change with the number of people viewing on each network segment

– NIPR available broadcasts are CNN, FOX news, and the Pentagon channel

– SIPR available broadcasts are theater level UAVs

281

Configure GBS Servers Using Routers

• Adding a router between the GBS switches and your site LAN will integrate your GBS without needing to add an additional IP address to the Servers

• Ensure your routers do not advertise private IP address ranges (172.16.x.x or 192.168.x.x)

• Configure the IRD TTL (Time To Live) of specific multicast streams to something other the 0 (default) to allow streams to traverse multiple routers

• Ensure routers are multicast enabled
