Command Information Superiority Architecture
Abstract
The CISA program provides a structured planning process based on Information Technology (IT) best business practices to define current and objective capabilities for IT support to assigned missions in a net-centric environment. CISA is the DoD program that provides architectures in compliance with the Clinger-Cohen Act, OMB Circular A-130, E-Gov Act and other related higher level guidance from the Federal CIO Council and the Federal Enterprise Architecture Program Management Office, which mandates the development and use of architectures as validation for IT investment decisions. The CISA program develops and maintains the Global Information Grid Enterprise Architecture, the Department’s enterprise architecture as directed by Title 40. It supports the development of the framework, processes, and standards for developing and maintaining a DoD federated enterprise architecture. CISA is the leading developer for the net-centric reference model, the standard evaluation guide used by DoD Program Managers at all echelons of command for transitioning DoD programs to the net-centric environment. The CISA program supports the development of architectural standard tools and systems, including the DoD Architectural Framework manual and artifacts as well as facilitating the effective use of architectures in IT portfolio management. Develop and maintain key GIG policy and guidance documents that drive the acquisition, transition to and operation of a net-centric GIG; the implementation of policy/guidance through a set of critical supporting activities such as IT standards management, and DoD transition to Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6); Real Time Service and IP convergence and enforcing policy through key enterprise governance mechanisms. Review and assess Command and Control, Computers, Communications and Intelligence Support Plans / Information Support Plans for the DoD CIO, identifying interoperability, supportability, net-centric and integration issues.
