Joint/Allied Coalition Information Sharing

Abstract

The Multinational Information Sharing (MNIS) Program is a portfolio of three coalition information sharing capabilities: Combined Enterprise Regional Information Exchange System (CENTRIXS), GRIFFIN and Combined Federated Battle Laboratory Network (CFBLNet). MNIS is designed to enable and improve sharing of operational and intelligence information among U.S. forces and our multinational partners. CENTRIXS supports intelligence and classified operations and information exchange and sharing at the Secret Releasable (REL) level. GRIFFIN interconnects the national Command and Control (C2) systems of Combined Communications Electronics Board (CCEB) nations, to include Australia, Canada, New Zealand, United Kingdom and the United States, using Cross Domain Solutions (CDS) that enable information sharing to facilitate situational awareness and operational planning/execution. CFBLNet is used to evaluate new technologies and to develop tactics, techniques and procedures that facilitate the transition of promising technologies and capabilities into operational multinational information sharing capability enhancements. Its direct customers are the CCEB nations’ military, operational, and intelligence entities led by their U.S. counterparts at the Combatant Command (COCOM) and Agency levels. In FY 2011, RDT&E funding will support the continued evolution of the CENTRIXS Cross Enclave Requirement (CCER) and achieve its objective end state satisfying COCOM coalition information sharing requirements for timeliness and agility while reducing infrastructure footprint and sustainment costs. FY 2011 funding will be essential to achieve the CCER objective as a global Secret Releasable environment, centrally managed, delivering enterprise services and access to centrally stored data to authorized coalition users. In its objective state, CCER will move from the initial, virtually converged FY 2010 enclave architecture to a single architecture relying on data labeling and tagging technologies to ensure data storage protection and separation.
