Support to NII
Abstract
This program supports the Department's initiatives to deter aggression, defend the homeland, and build sustainable and long-term advantage. Support to networks and information integration (NII) program supports the military Global Positioning System (GPS) user equipment (MGUE) modernization and synchronization with GPS space and operational control segments to oversee GPS management and planning activities to meet Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS) requirements. The NII program also supports alternative positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) capability policy and guidance to augment GPS. Additionally, the program supports the DoD’s PNT Oversight Council and interagency activities under the National Space-Based PNT Executive Committee and related electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) enterprise activities. In support of the National Defense Strategy, resilient PNT and GPS services provide the joint force and key U.S. allies with a battlespace PNT advantage. Resilient PNT provides enhanced lethality through precision targeting, exacting intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), efficient logistics, blue force tracking, and other force enhancements employed by the joint force, U.S. allies, and coalition partners. The joint force is modernizing PNT capabilities to use the new GPS M-code signal and incorporate alternative PNT information via a modular open systems approach (MOSA) to reduce legacy systems dependency. The integrated planning and management project encompasses the National Leadership Command Capabilities Management Office's (NMO) responsibilities to establish national command capabilities development, interoperability, standards, and architecture policy and oversight. The NMO serves as the DoD’s policy, long-range plans, programs and budget, integrated mission advocacy, and decision-maker capabilities point of contact. NMO’s objective is to ensure capabilities are in place to provide complete and timely situational awareness and decision tools for senior decision-makers. Additionally, the NMO assists the DoD CIO, as the executive agent and primary White House Military Office OSD advocate, to oversee the wide range of DoD command, control, and communications (C3) assets and military department, defense agency, and field activity critical and sensitive C3 capabilities design, integration, and deployment. Two overall focus areas include: 1) national senior leader C3 systems, national security/emergency preparedness (NS/EP), DoD support to civil authorities; continuity of government (COG); 2) cyber mission indications and warnings.
