VisIOn

Abstract

The Virtual Support for the Information Operations Environment (VisIOn) is the DoD primary Joint IO/Cyber decision support system for analysis, planning, and assessment of IO and Cyber operations. VisIOn will be accessible to the Joint Force Commander (JFC), Combatant Commanders (CCDRs), and their components for integration of intelligence, operational processes, and databases in support of IO/Cyber planning to include courses of action development, analysis, and assessment. As such, it is being designed to improve data discovery, integrative analysis, requests for information tracking, and integration of multi-discipline data. VisIOn will integrate and couple decision support capabilities with analytic capabilities to develop products such as Joint Intelligence Preparation of the Operational Environment, centers of gravity analysis, information environment characterizations, adversary tactics/techniques, and diagnostic/predictive assessment products. VisIOn will support planning, execution, and assessment of IO and Cyber operations, to include Military Information Support to Operations (MISO), Electronic Warfare (EW), Operations Security (OPSEC), Computer Network Operations (CNO), and Military Deception (MILDEC); and integration of other critical capabilities (Physical Destruction, Physical Security, Counter-Intelligence, Information Assurance, and Combat Camera) and related activities (Public Affairs, Civil Affairs, and Defense Support to Public Diplomacy capabilities). VisIOn will support and enhance the IO/Cyber operations mission by creating a collaborative environment to connect people, processes, and technology that will merge and automate IO/Cyber/IOI analysis, planning, and assessment functions to meet operational needs. VisIOn will bring together communities of interest and facilitate the resolution of specific IO/Cyber/IOI problem sets. VisIOn will leverage existing analysis and data sets to the fullest extent by integrating with existing planning services, via a Service-Oriented Architecture. VisIOn will be a web-based system for integrating joint IO analysis, planning and assessment in the Joint Net-centric Operations (JNO) environment. It will include a suite of scalable, modular, data and software services that are to the maximum extent practical, platform independent.
