PLANNING AND DECISION AID SYSTEM (PDAS)

Abstract

Planning and Decision Aid System (PDAS): PDAS is a classified, protected program operated by the Navy. PDAS is a command and control system that provides capabilities to Office of the Secretary of Defense, services, Unified Combatant Commanders (CCMD), Intelligence Community and Coalition partners for operational planning/coordination of special access programs (SAPs). PDAS enables Integrated Joint Special Technical operations (IJSTO) to incorporate SAPs into operational planning and execution from battlefield operators through the Commander-in-Chief in support of national security objectives. PDAS is the system for the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS) for IJSTO. PDAS is a worldwide network protecting sensitive information that meets the Intelligence Community Directive 503 security requirements. PDAS provides office automation packages, document and information management tools; collaboration, voice, and video tools in a secure, flexible architecture that promotes a distributed enterprise. Within the enterprise, PDAS users have access to their data regardless of log-on location, secure data exchange, conferencing and planning sessions among physically distributed continental United States and outside continental United States locations. PDAS provides users with access to a Help Desk and remote troubleshooting within the PDAS enterprise. As the number of capabilities increase and threats evolve, the need for development of innovative and efficient planning and collaboration tools necessitates the use of research and development for future implementation. Acquisition, management and contracting efforts are to support engineering and integration by providing funds to Naval Information Warfare Center (NIWC) Pacific and various contractors. This funding provides system development and support including research, prototype development and modification and integration of Commercial Off-The-Shelf and Open Source software into the life cycle support of the Program. Management oversight is provided by the Program Executive Officer for Digital and Enterprise Services (PEO Digital).
