Multilevel security within the Army Tactical Command Control System

As U.S. Forces continue to operate in coalition environments, the need to incorporate Multilevel Security into the ATCCS becomes more apparent. While Army doctrine requires the ATCCS to be MLS to the B2 level, there iii currently no product or technology developed to fulfill this requirement, nor is there any implementation strategy devised to address this issue. This thesis proposes two strategies to implement MLS within the ATCCS: a target and near term implementation strategy. These two strategies are derived from the DoD joint MLS Technology Insertion Program Target Architecture and Implementation Strategy, which provides the vehicle for assessing the current and in development MLS products and capabilities.
