Advanced IT Services Joint Program Office (AITS-JPO)
Abstract
The Advanced IT Services Joint Program Office (AITS-JPO) identifies and integrates new, mature commercial Information Technology (IT) and advanced operational concepts into net-centric battlespace capabilities to: access and exchange critical information; exploit opportunities to enhance current force capabilities; and project future force IT requirements. It provides the President of the United States (POTUS), Secretary of Defense (SECDEF), Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS), Combatant Commands (COCOMs), and Inter-agency participants with critical focus on the long-term warfighting operations by bringing together technology, security cooperation, and education. 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 approved cooperative activities of the United States and its coalition partners. These emergent capabilities are technologies that can be rapidly infused into existing tools. Program investments in advanced technology benefits strategic and tactical users in the intelligence, warfighting and business domains by providing them with 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. The program uses four key mechanisms to streamline the process of fielding emergent requirements: (1) Joint Capability Technology Demonstrations (JCTD) with OSD/COCOM/Service/Agency teaming; (2) Joint Ventures with Combatant Commanders/Program of Record (POR) teaming; (3) Risk Mitigation Pilots with POR/Community of Interest (COI) teaming; and, (4) Technology Innovation. The JCTD process aligns with the new Joint Capability Integration and Development System developed by the Joint Chiefs of Staff and adapts technology and concept solutions to meet pressing warfighter needs. OSD approves new JCTDs annually and on a rolling start basis. DISA participates in both an operational and transition manager role. The JCTDs, along with the Joint ventures and risk mitigation pilots, feature teaming with appropriate offices so that funds and skill sets are leveraged across all participants. The costs are shared, thus reducing the risk to individual organizations. The Technology Innovation program concentrates on concept innovation and rapid insertion of advanced data, technology, and knowledge services in the DoD Global Information Grid (GIG). The Program is further divided into major subprogram areas: Command and Control (C2) and Combat Support (CS), Information Sharing (IS), Network Infrastructure (NI), Network Operations (NetOps) ,Technology Innovation, and Program Management Support.
