Description

Description — CANES

Consolidated Afloat Networks and Enterprise Services (CANES) operates at the Tactical Edge which is defined as "The platforms, sites, and personnel (U. S. military, allied, coalition partners, first responders) operating at lethal risk in a battle space or crisis environment characterized by 1) a dependence on information systems and connectivity for survival and mission success, 2) high threats to the operational readiness of both information systems and connectivity, and 3) users are fully engaged, highly stressed, and dependent on the availability, integrity, and transparency of their information systems (Source(s): CNSSI 4009-2015)." CANES is the Navy's Program of Record (POR) to replace and modernize existing afloat networks with a cyber-hardened, warfighting resilient hardware, software and enterprise services infrastructure to enable information warfare from and within the tactical domain to expand the Fleets digital competitive advantage. CANES provides complete network infrastructure including hardware, software, processing, storage, and end user devices for the Unclassified, Coalition, Secret and Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) enclaves to a wide variety of Navy Surface Combatants, Combat Logistics Force (CLF), Submarines, Maritime Operations Centers, and Aegis Ashore sites. CANES services include application hosting, data transport and storage, system management, cyber security, email, web, chat, collaboration, and voice and video services. CANES is designed using commercial sector industry best practices of reducing the number of separate Fleet networks and drives affordability with a single engineered technical solution across the Fleet from patrol craft to aircraft carriers. As much as possible, CANES relies on Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) hardware and software to reduce development time and cost, and leverages commercial Information Technology (IT) approaches to include Development, Security, and Operations (DevSecOps) to drive rapid upgrades. It allows for streamlined acquisition, contracting, sustainment, and significant lifecycle efficiencies through consolidation of multiple configuration management baselines, logistics, and training efforts into a single unified support structure. The CANES Application Integration effort provides common software governance, testing, processes, and tools to application developers, and conducts integration testing to confirm compatibility for hosted applications prior to fielding. More than two hundred (200) hosted software applications and systems - including Command and Control, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance, Information Operations, Logistics, and Business domains - require the CANES infrastructure to operate in the tactical environment. Specific programs, such as Distributed Common Ground System - Navy (DCGS-N), Global Command and Control System - Maritime (GCCS-M), Naval Tactical Command Support System (NTCSS), and Undersea Warfare Decision Support System (USW-DSS), no longer provide their own independent network hardware and now depend on CANES to field, host, and sustain their capabilities. CANES also provides a set of capabilities called Agile Core Services (ACS) which brings advanced data science capabilities and other common network services to allow hosted application developers to focus on the unique capabilities they provide. CANES is funded and programmed to field regular technical updates via a Continuous Capability Delivery (CCD) Framework in order to keep pace with rapidly evolving cyber security threats and meet emerging operational demands. CANES uses a DevSecOps framework to improve its engineering processes and speed the deployment of new cyber security, application hosting and technical updates. Future CANES systems will incorporate technologies such as Cloud computing, Machine learning, and Artificial Intelligence. Continuous technical insertions via the CCD Framework that integrates modular Cyber Threat Upgrades (CTUs) not only enhances network resilience but also provides updates across multiple platforms, enabling the Navy's path to continuous readiness. CANES is a mature program with an innovative Multi Award Contract (MAC) in place that has consistently proven capable of delivering on or ahead of schedule. Additionally, the program uses a robust Continuous Process Improvement (CPI) program to improve the delivery speed and quality of network capabilities to the Fleet. [P3A / 5F010/5F777 CANES - Afloat Non-MIP]: The FY26 funding increase in the Consolidated Afloat Networks and Enterprise Services (CANES) aligns with funding profile that supports the Navy's priority effort to modernize and protect tactical networks against increased cyber threats and ensure operational readiness from competition to conflict. All procurements align with available platform (ship/submarine/shore) modernization windows and the program's capacity to procure and install the product. [P3A - 2 / 5F010/5F776 CANES - Ashore Non-MIP]: The FY26 funding increase in the Consolidated Afloat Networks and Enterprise Services (CANES) aligns with funding profile that supports the Navy's priority effort to modernize and protect tactical networks against increased cyber threats and ensure operational readiness from competition to conflict. All procurements align with available platform (ship/submarine/shore) modernization windows and the program's capacity to procure and install the product.

Justification

Justification — CANES

The FY 2026 request was reduced by $26.589 million for Advisory and Assistance Services to promote efficiencies and advance the policies of the Administration in alignment with Executive Order 14222, "Implementing the President's Department of Government Efficiency Cost Efficiency Initiative." The FY 2026 request was reduced by $11.706 million for civilian personnel to optimize the workforce in compliance with Executive Order 14210, "Implementing the President's Department of Government Efficiency Workforce Optimization Initiative." The FY26 funding increase in the Consolidated Afloat Networks and Enterprise Services (CANES) aligns with funding profile that supports the Navy's priority effort to modernize and protect tactical networks against increased cyber threats and ensure operational readiness from competition to conflict. All procurements align with available ship platform (ship/submarine/shore) modernization windows and the program's capacity to procure and install the product. Sufficient funding ensures that CANES is deployed to the Fleet as quickly as possible to mitigate obsolescence issues, cyber security threats, and keep pace with increased computing and storage requirements for hosted mission applications, and support Department of Defense (DoD) directives to remove End of Life/Support (EOL/S) Windows Operating Systems software (e.g., operating systems) from the Fleet as quickly as feasible. Obsolete Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) legacy hardware and the termination of cyber security support for legacy versions of COTS software products (e.g., Microsoft, RedHat, Linux) drive increased sustainment costs, reduce operational availability and create critical cyber security vulnerabilities in Navy Tactical Networks. Replacing these older networks and modernizing the tactical environment with CANES is the foundation for all Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) investments to sustain functionality, interoperability, cyber security, supportability, and maintainability. FY26 - CANES funds are for the procurement of (5) Initial CANES Afloat units, (20) Afloat Technical Insertion (TI) units and (1) Ashore TI unit; with integration and associated costs for pre-installation design and the installation of (4) Initial CANES Afloat units and (47) Afloat TI units that were procured in FY25. Prior to FY25, Agile Enclave (AE) was previously budgeted within the CANES Afloat Technical Insertion (1.1.2) BKit Cost Element. Starting in FY25, AE procurements and installations are reflected in a separate Afloat BKit Cost Element (1.1.3 - Agile Enclave). In FY26, (125) AE units are planned for rapid procurement and deployment of AE capabilities across Naval platforms based on urgent and emerging Fleet needs. AE delivers capabilities in accordance with Joint Department of Defense priorities supporting real world operations. Additional details on AE efforts are provided at a higher classification. It is important to note that procurement quantities are the same CANES end item products referenced in CANES INTELL, LI 2925. Installation quantities represent sites receiving CANES also referenced in LI 2925. The associated dollars in this exhibit represent the non-Intell portion of the investment in the CANES system.

Follow the dollar

No follow-the-dollar view — none of this program's high-confidence awards records a positive obligation at any place of performance (flows cover 312 of 1,938 programs). why coverage is partial? →

Related awards

Award linkage is shown for 32 of 200 profiled companies — high- and medium-confidence USAspending matches, each row labeled; medium is the weaker evidence. why partial award coverage? →

Rows marked medium rest on evidence weaker than a program-level match, and of more than one kind. An account-based row, where the award drew from the same appropriation account as this program, is an association, not evidence that this program paid for the contract. Where the evidence is instead an FPDS acquisition-program tag or a subaward description, the program is established but which of its budget lines paid is not. An announcement link a recorded review did not leave standing is medium too. Only high rows rest on the contract naming this program with a recorded review upholding it and no recorded rejection or refutation applying.

Contractor concentration

No concentration index is published for this line. This line's high-confidence links do not clear the floor for a published concentration index — at least 3 awards across 2 contractor families holding positive obligations, with positive net linked dollars. An index below that floor is a fact about the sample, not about the market. Whatever further links this line carries are medium-confidence, and what each medium evidence path does and does not establish is set out in the methodology. Both bases are in the downloadable warehouse.
