International Intelligence Technology and Architectures

Abstract

International Intelligence Technology and Architectures oversees, manages, and provides the United States (US) component of the multi-national Battlefield Information Collection and Exploitation System (US BICES) with a collaborative environment and intelligence sharing enterprise required for processing and disseminating critical intelligence information between and among US, North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), allied and coalition forces. The US BICES program procures and maintains a standing intelligence information sharing capability across Department of Defense (DoD), Combat Support Agencies, and multiple Combatant Commands (CCMD) for the Under Secretary of Defense, Intelligence (USD (I)). At the request of USD (I), US BICES is extended beyond U.S. European Command (USEUCOM) into all CCMDs and is known as US BICES Extended (US BICES-X). US BICES provides an "enduring" US and Coalition interoperable intelligence sharing multi-level secure technical architecture utilizing releasable elements of the Defense Intelligence Information Enterprise (DI2E) framework and functions to support the full spectrum of intelligence operations and dissemination throughout the DoD community. Also, it enables instantiation of US BICES/BICES-X as the intelligence contribution to the Mission Partner Environment (MPE). Research and Development funding will: - Provide increased intelligence information sharing capabilities in support of US and coalition forces utilizing the US BICES and NATO virtual networks within all theaters of operations and provide increased database information via Distributed Common Ground System - Army. - Provide an increase in intelligence disciplines (Imagery Intelligence, Signal Intelligence, and potential Human Intelligence) in support of US and Allied/Coalition forces that currently is very limited to the warfighter. Increased intelligence advanced analytics tools will be migrated from Joint Intelligence Operation Center-IT and DI2E developments and will significantly increase the timeliness of intelligence and bring US BICES/NATO Special Operations Forces Headquarters/NATO Intelligence Fusion Center capabilities into the current technology baselines. - Developing and providing a federated Trusted Network Environment (TNE) that incorporates the Asian Pacific intelligence Information Network being developed to support the National Defense Strategy as we transition into the Pacific. - Provide multi-level security intelligence bi-laterals and multi-laterals to meet Combatant Commander Integrated Priority Lists. - Developing the Coalition Partner Network for CENTCOM, the Coalition Information Exchange Network for SOUTHCOM, and the Coalition Partner Network for EUCOM and AFRICOM. - Developing the US BICES connections with these bi-lateral and multi-lateral federated TNEs that make up the US BICES-X Enterprise Network in support of Commander SOCOM requirements for conventional and coalition operations. -Continue developing the Trusted Network Environment (TNE) Enterprise Cross Domain Solution (ECDS) that connects 65+ network,85+ partner nations and 69+ Communities of interest (COI) within four operational TNE installation. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability. The use of such programs funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, 0606398F. In FY23 0.0M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element and in FY24 0.0M is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element. 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.
