Secretariat Offices The Department of the Navy Chief Information Officer, Technology Division (DONCIO IT) provides Information Technology (IT), Information Assurance (IA), Information Management (IM), Document Management (DM), Records Management (RM), Knowledge Management (KM) and other related support services to the Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV), Chief of Naval Operations (OPNAV), the DON Secretariat, including political appointees, flag officers and senior executives. This support spans across over 24 organizations, covers nearly 6,000 individual customers, and countless worldwide end users. These services include complete life-cycle software support, software application development, implementation, and post development software support. DONCIO IT is heavily involved in the research and analysis of emerging trends and technologies for use throughout the Secretariat. DONCIO IT is also a valued partner and stakeholder in the development, review, and implementation of all DON and DoD IT related policies that affect the Secretariat members. Additionally, DONCIO IT astutely manages the telecommunication needs of the Secretariat and OPNAV staffs; to include providing state-of-the-art mobile devices, services and support, laptops to promote telework, and a host of other peripherals as needed when these executives travel abroad and around the country. DONCIO IT acts as a trusted agent for the review and approval of all IT related acquisitions across the Secretariat and provides expert guidance on the utilization of DON service contracts that support the purchase of software, hardware and other IT-related functions. DONCIO IT also manages and supports all Cyber Security functions for its Secretariat customers. Furthermore, DONCIO IT manages and supports all administrative requirements and functions of the NMCI/NGEN contract for all Secretariat customers. Database and application development support is required to test, evaluate, and modify current and new systems/capabilities for Secretariat customers. Navy's Civilian Human Capital Strategy (HCS) The HCS implements advance discoveries, initiates lines of efforts, conducts pilots, and completes business case analyses designed to improve the DON's ability to access, curate, and engage its workforce. The HCS Task Force is responsible for designing, conducting, and evaluating limited-scope projects, introducing new or enhanced technologies to develop transformation recommendations for the larger DON enterprise. The HCS aims to streamline DON civilian human capital (HC) investments. This supports 18 Budget Submitting Offices (BSOs), which reported 352 HCS aligned programs and 152 technologies in FY21. The HCS is designed to identify opportunities for enterprise-wide HC reform by leading operating concepts and technologies like artificial intelligence and cloud computing. The centralized approach to innovation will minimize the upfront cost of identifying solutions, achieving cloud and cybersecurity compliance, and reduce the cost of investments through scale purchases. Assessments and evaluations contribute to business case analysis reports with recommendations for the Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Manpower & Reserve Affairs) (ASN (M&RA)), Under Secretary of the Navy (UNSECNAV), and/or the Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV) regarding the broader implementation of technologies across the DON. Funds are used for efforts, such as, technology configuration and automation technology solutions for HR transactions, artificial intelligence (AI), and the development predictive analytics and dashboards in the ADVANA/Jupiter platform. The Task Force evaluates the utility of such technologies in order to develop a data driven business case for wider implementation across the DON. ELECTRONIC PROCUREMENT SYSTEM (ePS) The electronic Procurement System (ePS) is the Department of the Navy's (DON) End-to-End (E2E) Contract Writing System (CWS). It will provide the Navy and Marine Corps contracting community with a full contract writing management capability and integrates with federally mandated systems, DON financial systems, and industry. The ePS will utilize Department of Defense (DoD) standards and support auditability. The ePS will address existing CWS challenges including outdated architecture, limited capabilities, scalability concerns, and existing obsolete legacy systems. Full deployment of the ePS ensures compliance of the DON's contracting abilities with the following legislative mandates: the writing and management of all contracts must now occur in congressionally approved computer systems (Section 862 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) of 2013); the central management and oversight of all DoD business (10 U.S. Code (U.S.C.) Section 2222); and all contracting actions must be fully auditable and traceable (Section 1003 of the NDAA 2010 & Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) Financial Improvement and Audit Readiness (FIAR) Guidance). The ePS will use DoD data exchange capabilities (e.g.; Procurement Data Standard (PDS) and Purchase Request Data Standard (PRDS)) in order to achieve standardized data interoperability with external systems. The Navy Enterprise Service Bus (NESB) serves as the hub to relay procurement data to various finance and other systems of record, such as Navy Enterprise Resource Planning (Navy ERP). The result of successful ePS implementation will be a contracting workforce that conducts standardized, seamless, end-to-end contract management in a secure computing environment, issuing timely contracts that comply with all DoD/Federal laws, regulations, and policies. NMCI ENTERPRISE SERVICE TOOLS(NEST) Next Generation Enterprise Network (NGEN) utilizes the NMCI Enterprise Service Tools (NEST) as an integrated set of tools that facilitate the full service lifecycle management (SLM) of customer IT service requests , including RAPT(Requirement to Award Process Tool), NET (NMCI Enterprise Tool), and Enterprise Reporting. NEST is considered a Government Owned/Contractor Operated defense business system (DBS) that has a valid ATO. WARFIGHTING CAPABILITY ASSESSMENT - FORCE LEVEL INTEGRATION (FLINT) FLINT is a digital decision support solution that enables mass exploration of POM alternatives, positioning the Navy's POM programing process to evolve from a subjective human capital and document-centric process to a data driven, model-centric process that leverages automated frameworks and computing to serve as the analytical underpinning for developing the POM. FLINTs mission is to integrate the numerous and disparate tools, databases, models, simulations, analyses, and subject matter expertise necessary to facilitate and optimize Navy POM decision making. FLINT provides senior leadership with programming options that capture the fiscal trade-offs and their consequences to warfighting effectiveness when measured against defined criteria and enables relative valuation across all POM requirements. LIVE, VIRTUAL, AND CONSTRUCTIVE (LVC) TRAINING DEVELOPMENT The Live, Virtual, and Constructive (LVC) Training program funds will be used to develop and deliver Information Warfare (IW) training in a scalable, Navy Continuous Training Environment (NCTE) compliant capability in a controlled environment. This effort builds upon existing trainers (Fleet Synthetic Training Electronic Warfare Trainer and the Naval Research Development and Engineering labs) to provide continuous development and iterations introducing new technologies and methodologies to advance the IW capabilities in a Shore Tactical Level environment to address the continually evolving threats. LVC includes fleet requirements to integrate realistic IW capabilities and effects - specifically Electronic Warfare (EW) and Meteorology and Oceanography (METOC) inputs at the GENSER and TS/SCI level. This capability enables individual units and CSG/ARG/ESGs to exercise integrated kinetic and non-kinetic capabilities at the Shore Tactical Level utilizing the Maritime Operation Center (MOC) to include operations/intelligence fusion required to overcome Great Power Competition threats. Additionally, LVC facilitates classified IW TTP development (including Signals Intelligence / Counter - Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (SIGINT / C-ISR)) in a closed network, minimizing the potential for compromise to adversaries. Integration of a realistic IW virtual capability into LVC events via NCTE supports holistic readiness through force generation of effectively trained, resilient IW forces. The key pieces to integrate IW capabilities into current and future LVC Training Environments include: - Leverage existing trainers (e.g. Naval Research, Development and Engineering (NRDE) laboratories and Electronic Warfare (EW) Fleet Synthetic Trainer) to employ current virtual IW capabilities (including METOC, and SIGINT/C-ISR) via Navy Enterprise Tactical Training Network (NETTN) to provide distributed training for Maritime Operation Center Shore Tactical Level. - Virtualize existing IW training tools, such as "Carrier Hunt" or "Gator Hunt" using serious gaming technologies. - Develop additional unit level and team training vignettes, scenarios, and curricula based on real-world use cases to provide "reps and sets" and build IW critical thinking skills and tactical proficiency. - Utilize authoritative standards, such as NCTE Interoperability Standards (NIS) as means to guide future training development. - Provide Warfare Development Centers the capability to evaluate blue force doctrine and TTP capabilities and limitations in a threat representative environment against replicated realistic opposing force/adversary TTPs to generate viable training events and scenarios. NEXT GENERATION ENTERPRISE NETWORK (NGEN)NETWORK ARCHITECHTURE DESIGN AND TESTING NGEN is utilizing a rapid systems engineering approach, leveraging leading industry experts to design and execute a transformative architecture across the spectrum of services which drives towards the design of the Navy Digital Platform and digital business and service delivery. The Navy Digital Platform (NDP) is a modern digital platform that encompasses optimal cloud consumption, domain singularity, mobility, resilience, and enhanced security. The modernized platform is on parity with industry, which is ready to meet changing mission needs and achieve competitive Naval advantage through a constant state of Information Readiness. Navy's Digitization Journey is dependent upon the Navy's Enterprise Network. The modernized platform will meet today and future mission requirements. This multi-year effort and investment is needed to finalize and adjudicate a Target Enterprise Architecture (TEA), identify obsolescent technologies associated with Navy network platforms, and aid in the integration of users and services, implement enabling business processes and service management frameworks, and provide sustaining activity guidance for future investment areas across all classification levels and operating environments. NGEN will implement a new network architecture design, a technical enterprise architecture that integrates rationalized users and services, implements enabling business processes and service management frameworks and provides guidance for future investment areas across all classification levels and operating environments. This includes network modeling & simulation, performance-based prototypes and applied research in future technologies affecting network architectures to advance the state of networks across all domains.
