The OCDS-ST06 is Owl’s accredited, hardware-enforced one-way transfer solution for full-motion video (FMV) and sensor data streaming.
Accredited. Proven. Secure.
In the tactical theatre, video and other UDP-based intelligence data is often accumulated in unclassified environments (sensors, vehicles, UAVs, vessels). To reach classified-level analysts, the data must securely cross network domain boundaries. This requires a proven, high-bandwidth Cross Domain Solution (CDS) that transfers streaming full-motion video and metadata at real-time from the field to secure enclaves.
The OCDS-ST06 moves UDP packets containing MPEG-TS video from Unclassified to Secret network domains with minimal latency and without data loss. Tested in deployment and fully operational, the OCDS-ST06 is NCDSMO baseline-listed and received ATO (Authorization to Operate) on February, 2015. The OCDS-ST06 presents a configurable number of UDP inlet sockets to the source network. UDP payload content is restricted to MPEG-TS packets containing full-motion video and KLV metadata. The Owl MPEG data filters explicitly check MPEG-TS packet framing, MPEG-TS protocol, and KLV metadata conformance to MISB standards.


Key Features
The CDS-ST06 software is based on a STIG compliant, CLIP and SELinux enforced, EAL4+ Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) foundation. It’s capable of UDP, MPEG-TS, and KLF filtering to ensure only authorized content is transferred by the data flows. The OCDS-1000 is a dual-node platform that includes two processing environments separated by Owl’s patented hardware-enforced, one-way transfer diodes. These combined technologies provide dataflow protection for the highest threat environment connections.
