Joint Systems Integration

Abstract

The Joint Systems Integration program element provides mission funding for the Joint System Integration Center (JSIC) to conduct interoperability assessments, and develop solutions/recommendations to improve integration of Service, Defense Agency, and coalition systems. Joint Staff J8 is the executive agent for the JSIC. JSIC provides for the fielding of warfighter Command and Control (C2) systems through rapid systems integration, technical assessment, and operational evaluation using laboratory environments and field venues. JSIC provides Combatant Commands with a laboratory and assessment environment for the warfighter and capability developer to evaluate current and near-term joint and coalition capabilities at the operational and tactical levels. JSIC's C2 Environment accurately replicates an operational C2 environment to assess system of systems interoperability, operational capability, procedural compliance and technical suitability of emerging and existing systems and programs to confirm readiness for deployment. JSIC also serves as the technical analysis and operational assessment activity in support of the Joint Staff capability-driven requirements process, the Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS). JSIC also serves as a joint interoperability compliance activity for the milestone decision authorities/program managers in the Defense acquisition enterprise.
