Advance IT Services Joint Program Office
Abstract
The purpose of the AITS-JPO is to integrate new, mature Information Technology (IT) and advanced operational concepts into net-centric Battlespace technologies to: access and exchange critical information; exploit opportunities to enhance Current Force capabilities; and project Future Force IT requirements. AITS-JPO primarily focuses on responding to emergent warfighter requirements in an innovative and collaborative manner. The DISA Chief Technology Office (CTO) has broad responsibilities for the rapid transfer of advanced IT and Operational Concepts to the warfighter and the technical management of these efforts. The program’s approach makes technology and concepts rapidly operational by funding advanced data, enterprise information, and knowledge services. The AITS-JPO supports the warfighter at all levels from the President of the United States, Secretary of Defense, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to the Combatant Commands and Inter-agency participants, i.e, DoD and its partners. The program components support preparation for future joint and coalition initiatives through development and integration of a full range of data services and advanced IT applications to support practical aspects of United States and coalition partner-approved cooperative activities. A representative program which recently transitioned is the Event Management Framework (EMF), which demonstrated operational value by enabling the U.S. Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) to quickly discover, access, correlate, and share information between interagency partners during a hurricane, H1N1 pandemic, 2008 Presidential Election, and 2009 Presidential Inauguration. Program investments in advanced technology will benefit strategic and tactical users by providing them with a rich, reliable, persistent collaboration and networking technologies computing on demand to reduce the need to replicate data or services at the point of consumption. Investments also provide support for virtual end-user environments and semantic search capabilities -- all of which enhance the decision-making process. The goal of the AITS-JPO is to provide the warfighter with technical superiority and to achieve interoperability and integration, while working in concert with joint, allied and coalition forces to effectively counter terrorism and enhance homeland security defense via the confluence of technology, security cooperation, and education. If the program is not funded in FY 2011, DISA will not be able to provide DoD and its partners with the innovative technologies that can make a difference in the new era of warfighting by enabling the operational transformation of warfighting. DoD must be IT-enabled with the ability to out-think our adversary.

- Change Summary Explanation
- The increase in FY 2009 reflects a-Congressional Reprogramming of $11.195 million and $3.649 below threshold reprogramming action reprogramming, to support the Vice Chairman, Joint Chief of Staff, Initiatives and Thin Client efforts. The decrease in FY 2010 reflects the Congressionally directed reduction of $24.754 million for new starts supporting Rapid Technology Insertion efforts. The decrement of $0.326 million was a result of general Congressional adjustments for Economic Assumptions and Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) costs. The DoD did not estimate FY 2011 cost when the FY 2010 President’s Budget was prepared.
