Integrated Information Management System (IIMS) Transition (Air Force)
Abstract
The Integrated Information Management System (IIMS) is a collaborative situational awareness tool which aids in the management of conventional and Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) events at fixed, expeditionary and incident response sites. IIMS includes detector/ warning networks, access to CBRN models, and information exchange with civil sector and coalition partner organizations. IIMS is in the base defense component of the AF Theater Battle Management Core System – Unit Level/Unit Command and Control (TBMCS-UL/UC2). It addresses both conventional and CBRN incidents. It is replacing the Survival Recovery Center (SRC). It improves decision making and battle management activities in the event of a conventional or CBRN incident. The objective of this effort is to transition IIMS into TBMCS-UL/UC2 Increment Two, and subsequently into the final TBMCS-UC2. The additional IIMS capabilities will augment the fielded TBMC-UL/UC2 to extend original capabilities, provide a stand-alone capability, and to incorporate joint CBRN tools. A successful transition of IIMS to TBMCS-UC2 through this spiral development process will significantly increase the base defense/response capabilities available to the warfighter. Program outputs and efficiencies: TTI funding accelerates the SRC replacement with planned upgrades to IIMS that more efficiently identify and respond to issues preventing the flying mission by 1-2 years. The transition of IIMS into the TBMCS-UC2 N-tier Service Oriented Architecture enables transition of new capabilities into TBMCS-UC2 through the IIMS framework and the adjudication of any Priority I or Priority II software trouble reports at the time of transition. The software will adhere to general quality and reliability standards and include standard software product sets upon delivery (i.e. source code, executable code, documentation, test results). TTI funding accelerates upgrades to integrate sensor/detector networks and improve communications with off-base agencies by 4+ years. This project was funded in FY 2010 via the Quick Reaction Special projects program element.
