GIG Evaluation Facilities (GIG-EF) and GIG Enterprise-Wide Systems Engineering Advisory Activities
Abstract
This program supports the Department's initiatives to Deter Aggression, Defend the Homeland, and Build Sustainable and Long-Term Advantage. The Net Centricity program provides technical analysis, systems engineering and capability oversight of programs, projects, initiatives and activities to maximize the Department’s return on investment in information technology resources and affect a comprehensive approach for assessing and procuring critical information systems from initial design through capability development. Specific Command, Control, and Communications (C3) disciplines include: Tactical (Space, Aerial, Terrestrial, and Maritime) Communications, Applications, Services, Information Sharing, and Command, Control, Communications (C3) Infrastructure; Satellite Communications (SATCOM) including SATCOM terminals and gateways and associated Defense; Electromagnetic Spectrum (EMS) Enterprise capabilities, infrastructure, architectures, and data. Information Systems Network (DISN) infrastructure; commercial mobile devices, and Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT). DoD CIO provides strategic direction, policy guidance, and oversight that enables the Department to effectively research, define, prioritize, acquire, field, and sustain C3 capabilities in support of DoD operations and the warfighter. These funds provide the capability for the warfighter to research, conduct technical analyses and assessments, evaluate, manage and deconflict radio frequencies through ground, air, and space communication networks. The funds will be used to develop and synchronize information assurance and mission assurance capabilities with other joint information environment capabilities to provide secure access to information and services (e.g. Cryptographic Modernization Management plan). Additionally, funding will continue to be utilized to support development of common standards and protocols across the DoD. This effort includes the Joint Interoperability Enhancement Process (IEP) that allows operators, engineers, and program managers to verify capabilities and identify issues in a design with Joint / Allied units prior to system fielding, or with fielded systems to identify required changes for systems upgrade planning. These joint standards, protocols, and processes will be used for implementation and testing to ensure the TDL capabilities are synchronized with the development and integration timelines of other planned network-enabled DODIN initiatives. The DoD cannot assume the same robust, uninterrupted, tactical-to-strategic command and control network will remain intact against a peer-level adversary. Rather than existing across a single domain, these new network paths must leverage space, air, land, surface, sub-surface, and cyber to ensure redundancy against attack. To build confidence in our communication ability in a contested theater, the DoD must make targeted investments that increase communication resiliency. The Net Centricity program provides this resilient architecture and leverages multiple waveforms carried across space, air, land, surface, sub-surface and cyber to minimize periods that C2 will be degraded when communicating in a highly contested environment.
