Defense Info. Infrastructure Engineering and Integration

Abstract

The Defense Information Infrastructure Engineering and Integration effort encompasses two projects, the DoD Information Network (DoDIN) Systems Engineering Support and Modeling and Simulation End-to-End (E2E) Architecture. DoD Information Network Systems Engineering Support: The DoDIN Systems Engineering and Support project performs research, development, and experimentation of emerging technologies to fill capability shortfalls and technology gaps. Through conducting Technical Exchange Meetings (TEM) with other DoD components, Program Management Offices, and Technical Directors, DISA identifies gaps and shortfalls, pursues innovative solutions, and engages industry for commercial best practices. The DoDIN Systems Engineering and Support project supports technical system engineering reviews for enterprise products and services and resolves gaps related to Machine Learning/Artificial Intelligence (AI), Classified and Unclassified mobile access, Quantum Resistant Cryptography (the cryptography used to authenticate and secure data-in-transit that is susceptible to attacks), Enterprise Architecture development, Cyber Defense, and other technologies. Modeling and Simulation End-to-End (E2E) Architecture: Within the Modeling and Simulation End-to-End Architected project, there are two major activities: Modeling and Simulation and DoDIN Enterprise Wide Systems Engineering (EWSE). The Modeling and Simulation activity provides architecture, systems engineering, and E2E analytical functions for DISA and its customers, ensuring integrated capabilities fulfill warfighter mission requirements. Ongoing beneficiaries of these capabilities include: •DoD Chief Information Officer (DoD CIO) - Receives modeling analysis to determine the network and user latency impact of adding Outside Contiguous United States (OCONUS) cloud services. •Services and Regional COCOMs - Receives modeling analyses and recommendations for architecture changes such as additional sites and the increased capacity for the Pacific theater. •DoD CIO and Services -Receives modeling projections for the utilization of new classified desktop and mobility services to be migrated to cloud environments. •DoD agencies - Receive training and support on the Joint Communications Simulation System, which is the system used to model network and applications. The DoDIN EWSE activity resolves near term (one to three years) high-priority technical issues, as defined by DoD CIO and DISA, that impact operational capabilities affecting DoDIN E2E interoperability and performance. For example, the DoDIN EWSE resolved poor M365 Teams performance. They fixed Quality of Service (QoS) configuration issues that were mismarking traffic, which resulted in poor MS365 Teams calls performance. Additional activities include development and testing of models to simulate planned changes to enterprise services, to include migrating DISA enterprise services to cloud architectures, adding capacity to support new customers, and completing network changes to support enhanced security. The Architecture effort provides interoperability, performance analysis, and systems engineering support for architecture evolution across DISA. DISA works with its customers to ensure integrated capabilities can fulfill warfighter mission requirements and continuously revise these Enterprise Architectures to meets the needs of the department.

Change Summary Explanation
The decrease of -$0.252 is due to a reduction in the number of assessments required through refinement of technology discovery and evaluation methods, such as improving ability to eliminate technology candidates through "quick look" evaluations. In FY 2024, twenty-five studies of commercial technology products will be conducted, as opposed to the twenty-seven completed in FY 2023. Note: FY 2022 amount includes -$0.402M that was transferred for the SBIR/STTR program.
