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. DoD CIO provides strategic direction, policy guidance, and oversight that enables the Department to effectively research, define, prioritize, acquire, field, and sustain command, control, and communications (C3) capabilities in support of DoD operations and the warfighter. Specific C3 disciplines include: tactical (space, aerial, terrestrial, and maritime) communications and datalinks; communications infrastructure; satellite communications (SATCOM), including SATCOM terminals and gateways; electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) enterprise capabilities, infrastructure, and architectures; positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT); Defense Information Systems Network (DISN) infrastructure; commercial mobile devices (CMD); and emerging fifth generation (5G) and mobile capabilities. The C3 modernization (C3M) program provides technical analysis, systems engineering, and capability oversight necessary to provide warfighters information advantage through organic and partnered C3 systems and capabilities, including weapon systems and platforms. This program comprehensively assesses critical information systems from initial design through capability development. C3M shapes a significant portion of the Combined Joint All Domain Command and Control (CJADC2) technology foundation by aligning the DoD’s C3 information technology (IT) investments on the DoD’s Digital Modernization Strategy (DMS). These funds provide the capability to research, conduct technical analyses and assessments, evaluate, manage and deconflict an increasingly contested and congested spectrum environment through ground, air, and space communication networks. These capabilities include the ability to provide secure information access and services (e.g., cryptographic modernization management plan). The program supports the Department’s CJADC2 efforts by refining joint protocols.
