Support to Information Operations Capabilities

Abstract

This program is part of the Defense Department’s coordinated effort to integrate Information Operations (IO), Cyber, and Intelligence Operations Integrations (IOI) test and evaluation capabilities to assess IO, Cyber, and IOI technologies and tactics in a representative operational environment against realistic targets. The Defensewide IO Program Review revalidated the need for a suite of automated data analysis and decision support software tools to facilitate joint-IO. The advent of critical Cyberspace Operations mandate Cyber Technologies be assessed in a like environment. In addition, joint warfighter requirements are driving the need for the integration of intelligence and operations capabilities/capacities. This program enables users to accomplish Joint Intelligence Preparation of the Operational Environment (JIPOE), develop effective IO, Cyber, and operational strategies and candidate campaign targets, plan missions, and monitor and assess execution of operations. The objectives of this program are to create a flexible, seamless and persistent environment enabling Combatant Commanders to achieve the same level of confidence and expertise in employing IO and Cyber capabilities that they have in kinetic weapons; to lead the development of joint IOI capabilities and capacity that facilitate operational and intelligence planning activities by the Services and COCOMs; and to transform IO, Cyber, and IOI activities to support joint IO training, education, and exercises.
