Abstract
The Global Information Grid (GIG) Enterprise Wide Systems Engineering (EWSE) project resolves near term (1 to 3 years) high-priority technical issues defined by Assistant Secretary of Defense-Networks and Information Integration (ASD-NII) and DISA, that impact operational capabilities affecting GIG end-to-end (E2E) interoperability and performance. The Chief Technology Officer (CTO) supports efforts that will strengthen the delivery of critical Global Information Grid (GIG) products, services, and capabilities to the warfighter through the establishment of DISA technology positions, strategies, frameworks, and roadmaps, as well as technology development and insertion into DISA programs of record while also influencing Service/Agency program technology investments. The CTO provides the venue for technology assessment and insertion in DISA (and DoD) resulting in more efficient and effective technology investments and ultimately improved global, net-centric operations. This effort will support end-to-end reviews of all solutions, programs, and services to ensure all are consistent with GIG architecture and standards. This program supports definition of various aspects of evolving the GIG, including developing system architecture constructs for the GIG and components, providing engineering guidance for component evolution, including incorporation of new technology from industry. The program provides direct support to Military Services, COCOMS, OSD, and the Joint Staff as well as the DoD business and acquisition communities and the intelligence community. The Modeling and Simulation project provides architecture, systems engineering and end-to-end analytical functions for DISA and its customers, ensuring integrated capabilities to fulfill warfighter mission requirements. Continuous direct beneficiaries of these capabilities include DISN (DISA Network Services), Program Executive Office-Mission Assurance (PEO-MA), Joint Task Force-Global Network Operations (JTF-GNO), Enterprise Wide Systems Engineering (EWSE), Joint Communications Simulation System (JCSS) availability to all DoD, and continual taskings from other DISA programs/projects such as Net-Centric Enterprise Services (NCES), Thin Client, Centrixs Cross Enclave Requirement (CCER) (PEO-C2C), etc., for the special skills Modeling and Simulation offers. The Interoperability Enhancement Process (IEP) supports the resolution of Tactical Data Enterprise Services (TDES) implementation and issues resolution, the development of TDES capability, and TDES verification and certification. The overarching objective of the IEP will be to support the realization and maintenance of interoperable Net-Centric weapons, sensors, and Command and Control (C2) systems at the tactical edge. The Ultra High Frequency (UHF) satellite communications (SATCOM) system provides the US Department of Defense (DoD) and other US Government departments and agencies critical beyond line-of-sight communications for tactical and special forces operations. UHF SATCOM is currently the only military system that enables users to operate communications on-the-move and under all weather conditions and cover. Demand-Assigned Multiple Access Compatible (DAMA-C) UHF SATCOM is an essential capability supporting combat search and rescue missions, and other safety-of-life operations. It will provide significantly improved sharing of legacy UHF satellite resources for tens of thousands of disadvantaged user terminals, mainly handhelds deployed as survival radios, or as support to Special Operations Forces. Any loss of funding for development of DAMA-C capability would negatively impact the US Government's ability to save lives, to share scarce satellite resources, and to increase the utility of many already fielded radios. Lack of funding will result in extra costs (inefficient capacity planning) to the DISN; decreased DISN performance; termination of the standard DoD-wide JCSS modeling tool for Joint Tactical communications; inability to model the impact of new network technologies and the projected impact/performance/scalability of new net-centric applications. IEP risk of not funding years 2 and 3 is that DoD would continue to have a limited ability to ensure data throughout DoD is visible, available, and usable when needed and hinders any accelerated decision cycles. Not creating the IEP/ Joint- Interoperable Systems Management and Requirements Transformation (J-iSMART) Portfolio cohesive decision-support environment that clearly depicts the relationships between warfighter needs and a common data collection strategy increases the difficulty in establishing a DoD-wide basis for achieving Tactical Data Link (TDL) interoperability and data sharing in a net-centric environment. If CTO is not funded the DoD will lose this crucial capability to the warfighter that ensures engineering rigor, technical soundness, and alignment with GIG architectural constructs in the products, services, and capabilities delivered to the Services, COCOMS, OSD, Joint Staff as well as the DoD business and acquisition communities and the intelligence community.

- Change Summary Explanation
- The increase of $0.150 million in FY 2009 supported Enterprise Wide Systems Engineering (EWSE) IPTs to resolve near term technical interoperability issues affecting the GIG. The adjustments of -$1.146 million and -$0.074 million in FY 2010 are due to Congressional taxes for Federally Funded Research Development Center (FFRDC) related costs and Economic Assumptions, respectively. The DoD did not estimate FY 2011 cost when the FY 2010 President's Budget was prepared.
