DSP was initiated during [[Operation Iraqi Freedom|OIF]] in 2004, when a joint, interagency team, led by then-Major Edward Vaughan and then-Major Cameron Guthrie, created Project BLACK MOUNTAIN. The project evolved from a combined requirement to better share real-time tactical data among ground and air forces, as well as promote [[mid-air collision]] avoidance (MACA) within the [[area of responsibility]] (AOR). This project, which is no longer classified, assembled an ad hoc tactical datalink using in situ components within an Internet Protocol-normalized network throughout [[United States Central Command]]'s AOR. Data from otherwise incompatible systems were shared in near real time using data packet conversion methods developed on ___location. BLACK MOUNTAIN provided a viable fill in the gaps left by the dismantled Battlefield Universal Gateway Equipment (BUG-E)<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=GKZx1vwaQ54C&pg=PA50&lpg=PA50&dq=SADL+Gateway+in+Iraq&source=bl&ots=JTyfCSAReo&sig=KbrpxneqzJnzPUFChP4akF9_wa0&hl=en&sa=X&ei=NudkU8bbK4HMsQSF0oHoBQ&ved=0CEYQ6AEwAw#v=onepage&q=SADL%20Gateway%20in%20Iraq&f=false]</ref> gateway solution by distributing a redundant, universal concept of operations to remote stations. The disruptive and austere nature of the solution project, and its unexpected and rapid success, led to the creation of DSP as one way of streamlining bureaucracy in both combat non-combat environments.
