This proposal details SLAIN MLS, a highly-adaptive, Multi-Level Security (MLS) data exchange approach, with expansive support of multiple security postures, multiple data formats and multiple data protocols. SLAIN MLS is based on Progeny’s Universal Gateway (UGW) and the Cross Domain Enclave Guard Solution that is a key component in the submarine tactical network. The UGW was developed for Office of Naval Research (ONR) Limited Technical Experiments (LTEs), is currently in use on the USW-DSS program for PEO IWS5 and is transitioning to Ship Self-Defense System (SSDS) and Aegis-enabled platforms. The Cross Domain Enclave Guard Solution is an Information Assurance (IA) compliant solution that is defined by a set of rules for the Radiant Mercury (RM) component to employ in examining received messages so that the content and security classification level of each message may be verified and, if necessary, sanitized (i.e. changed) to a lower level before the message is either discarded or transferred on to its destination.Together, these components are the backbone of SLAIN MLS, an integrated secure solution to allow mission operators to effectively plan, re-plan, execute, manage and monitor multi-vehicle assets in high-threat environments without sacrificing stringent security requirements.
