Abstract
Configuration Management Information System (CMIS) - This program was originally identified as Joint Configuration Management Information System (JCMIS) to reflect the main software tool used for component tracking and Aircraft Configuration Management. However, as the available data sources from the fleet have expanded, the new name of CMS was chosen to better acknowledge the variety of information sources which are received, integrated, and compiled to give the most accurate component record data and aircraft configuration. CMS serves as the Program of Record (POR) to manage and control Navy and Marine Corps aviation component data reconstruction efforts. CMS compiles record data via fleet documentation of component updates and captures this information via a centrally managed database within the current software tool, Joint Configuration Management Information System (JCMIS). CMS efficiently manages product structure data, including complex interrelationships between assemblies and subassemblies, technical documentation and the parts that comprise the item. Accurate, complete and accessible configuration data is critical to the successful operations of DoD weapon systems or tracked assets. Mission readiness and operational capabilities are enhanced by CMS, as consistent integrated configuration data is readily available to operators, maintainers and logistics personnel. CMS provides users with a common database infrastructure to ensure compatibility, quality, and consistency of Configuration Management (CM) processes and provides configuration managers and analysts the validated CM information necessary for accurate maintenance, spare procurements, reliability and safety analysis, and mission readiness. Funding is budgeted to support the services of re-hosting and testing of Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) upgrades to ensure objective performance of CMS is achieved. Navy Cybersecurity - Cyber Warfare consists of many different aspects to include sabotage of our weapon systems, networks as well as enablement of missions. Nation and non-nation state actors are acquiring and employing more advanced cyber-attacks in order to exploit our networks and aviation systems challenging our technological edge. The threats and capabilities are real and range from exploiting capabilities, overloading weapons systems and logistics supply chains, to jamming signals or taking control of weapons systems. We must defend against adversarial cyber attacks while contributing to the exploitation of cyber warfare capabilities. To meet these challenges and address the Chief of Naval Operations priorities and tasking, these R&D efforts are specifically focused on Naval Air Systems Command weapon or control systems and programs to ensure warfighting effectiveness as part of integrated / multi-platform kill chains. These research and development efforts will strengthen our cyber posture by developing research, development, test and evaluation capabilities and solutions to deter, detect, and mitigate cyber threats and safeguard classified naval aviation systems and platforms from "cradle to grave." These solutions will be integrated into the acquisition of weapons systems to enhance security, increase lethality, and improve resiliency in the expected operational environments. Our weapon or control systems are unique in the aforementioned environments and mission, but also in the presence of numerous non-traditional access points and trusted cyber relationships required for operational environments. Further, this line sustains Naval Aviation's Red Team capability to research, identify and validate nation-state exploitable cyber susceptibilities and vulnerabilities in both deployed and next-generation warfighting platforms. Through it, these efforts improve Naval Aviation's mission survivability by developing and demonstrating operational TTPs within the cyber-contested environment. The team partners with Naval Aviation programs to certify theorized cyber weaknesses and thus to prevent denial, degradation or disruption of safety, readiness, and mission. The Red Team's assessment products support CYBERSAFE certification of platforms and systems, and likewise supports PMAs and OPNAV with validated threat data to prioritizing systems security engineering (SSE) investments. The team leverages national-level cyber warfare experts, all-source intelligence, and technology research to assess NAE operational technology, fleet exercises, support equipment, enterprise logistics systems, and supply chain. Digital Thread (DT)- Capability provides digital process integration with complete, secure and authoritative data, coordinated as part of approved Navy LOG-IT. DT integrates the product life cycle to provide universal access to authoritative data and workflow automation, enabling configuration management of data, implementation of closed loop quality, and consolidation of engineering products including digital enablement of additive manufacturing. Connecting these processes using standardized digital tools and data accelerates the product development cycle and lowers costs for support and new capability integration. The Digital Thread capability includes development and demonstration of cyber security architectures for sustainment information systems, and development of a digital/additive manufacturing data architecture and repository. Digital Production Floor (DPF)- Initiative modernizes Navy Aviation Depots by removing paper from the Production floor and integrating key Quality elements to support a true digital North Star ensuring viability and alignment with broader Naval Logistics IT (LOG-IT) enterprise initiatives to realize a fully unified digital sustainment capability. This capability aligns and leverages ongoing Digital Thread /Aviation Product Lifecycle Management (AvPLM) efforts to transform our existing way of doing business and align us with commercial best practices for digitization of business processes. Current paper based processes have demonstrated inefficiencies and administrative delays in performance and quality of product on Depot level repair turnaround times.
