C4I Interoperability

Abstract

The Defense Information Systems Agency’s Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC) serves as the only joint element of the Department of Defense’s (DoD’s) Major Range and Test Facility Base (MRTFB) that is operated primarily for Information Technology and National Security Systems (IT/NSS) Test and Evaluation (T&E) support missions. JITC executes the T&E mission in support of Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence (C4I),and is the DoD’s Sole Interoperability Certifier and the only Non-Service Operational Test Agency (OTA). As an MRTFB, JITC coordinates directly with commercial vendors to obtain critical pre-acquisition test results. This early involvement, and a focus on automation and instrumentation, enables rapid delivery of enhanced military capabilities at a reduced cost. With a focus on T&E for IT that includes Cyber, Cloud services, Mobility and other National Security Systems, JITC has the unique mission to provide consistent, structured and effective T&E services ensuring Joint/Coalition interoperability; issuing Interoperability Certifications; conducting Operational Evaluations; providing direct interoperability support to the warfighter; and maintaining a federated IT infrastructure to support all DoD Customers.
