Nuclear Planning and Execution System (NPES)

Abstract

Nuclear Planning and Execution System (NPES): NPES develops and delivers a software system to conduct nuclear command and control (NC2) adaptive planning and execution at fixed and mobile sites in real time. NPES is an automated information system that supports all phases of nuclear conflict and provides for various levels of support of all command and control software engineering (C2SES) projects. The NPES Legacy program encompassed cyber related investments necessary for a successful operational application/system delivery, for fixed command centers, distributive sites and mobile platforms. The NPES Recapitalization (Recap) program succeeded the NPES Legacy program succeeded NPES Legacy and provides communication interfaces with software development, data management, software re-engineering and operations to include requirements validation and training. NPES Recap modernizes decision support, knowledge management, information visualization, an integrated-fused depiction of global battle space, and common missile event picture. Decision Support Service (DSS): DSS will develop and deliver software that directly supports POTUS. DSS will improve situational awareness, aggregate strategic-level information, and provide a common visual display that is resilient and mobile. This effort includes decomposing system, functional and non-functional requirements in order to design, build, and field a new NPES application software baseline via agile, development operations [DevOps], and user-centered design principles. Further, the effort includes developing written artifacts to document system / software engineering elements appropriate for an Agile DevOps software development effort. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.
