Brigade Analysis, Integration and Evaluation

Abstract

This program element is comprised of five projects: Network Integration Evaluation (NIE) Test and Evaluation; Production/Field Coordination for Capability Sets; Army Systems Engineering, Architecture & Analysis; Army Integration Management & Coordination; and Emerging Technology Initiatives. The specific evaluation requirements will support Mission Command Network 2020, Force 2025 objectives, and emerging technology insertion. Project DY3: Network Integration Evaluation (NIE) Test & Evaluation, synchronizes, integrates, and manages system and System of Systems (SoS) network capability evaluations in laboratory and operational environments in order to inform Army force modernization decisions that impact network improvements, interoperability compliance, operational readiness, and exploitable technology opportunities. Project DY4: Network Integration Support, the mission requirements and the funding to support those requirements have been moved to DY3; NIE Test & Evaluation to increase transparency of evaluation efforts and cost. Project DY5: Production/Fielding Coordination for Capability Sets, provides for the development of a synchronized Brigade/Division level plan for the Production equipment delivery and Fielding (hand-off logistics and new equipment training) of Capability Set (CS) components (both hardware/software in A and/or B Kits) upon completion of Network Integration Evaluation (NIE), Army Interoperability Certification (AIC) and Army CS fielding decision. Project DY6: Brigade and Platform Integration Support, the mission requirements and the funding to support those requirements have been moved to DY3; NIE Test & Evaluation to increase transparency of evaluation efforts and cost. Project DY7: Army System Engineering, Architecture & Analysis, provides the Army's leadership and materiel developers with the necessary modernization planning, System of Systems (SoS) engineering, technical analysis, architectural products, critical path analysis, and risk analysis and mitigation planning to influence the Army's materiel portfolio. This project also explicitly funds Cyber Security engineering, architecture and development tasks necessary to create effective, affordable and secure network capabilities that address critical gaps, meet Mission Command Network (MCN) 2020 objectives and/or Force 2025 and Beyond (F2025B) initiatives. Integration of Army defensive/offensive cyber and Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) capabilities into the overall CS design, Multinational/Mission Partner Environments architecture development at both the tactical and enterprise levels, network modernization risks/gaps for Corps level units and below, and Army spectrum strategy. Project DZ6: Army Integration Management & Coordination, provides for all "shared" functions (Human resources, Budget development and executions, Acquisition, Operations, Program Coordination, Facilities management) and headquarters functions that supports the technical aspects of the Network integration, Platform integration, Brigade Integration and the Production Integration and coordination and synchronized fielding teams. Project FG7: Emerging Technology Initiatives, will fund prototyping and demonstration of selected technology enabled capabilities to defeat emerging threats against ground, aviation, command, control, communications & reconnaissance systems and equipment, precision weapons, and Soldier equipment. Funding facilitates maturation and demonstration of emerging technologies and systems in relevant varied environments and tactical/operational scenarios. The focus is to mature technologies with a goal of initial production, limited fielding, and transition to a Program of Record in an Army or DoD Program Management Office.
