Special Purpose Processing Nodes (SPPNs) (formerly Network and Infrastructure Services)
Abstract
Provides for the developmental engineering and operational strategies and concepts; and planning, design, implementation and maintenance for MDA Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) Special Purpose Processing Nodes (SPPNs) in Huntsville, AL and Colorado Springs, CO. The SPPN infrastructure consists of routers, switches, firewalls, compute, storage and intrusion detection systems that provide IT support to over 10,500 MDA classified/unclassified users worldwide. The SPPNs support dynamic and rapid modifications and reconfigurations of network infrastructure in support of RDT&E mission and event unique configurations. Funds provide for network operations and performance monitoring; development of detailed solutions, designs, and plans; Disaster Recovery and Continuity of Operations (DR/COOP) rehearsals; Internet access management; and web filtering. Sustains core communications distribution services across the MDA Enterprise. Includes investments in equipment at end-of-life to comply with Federal and DoD mandated cybersecurity policies. Plan, engineer and implement sustainment projects for general IT services and business systems consistent with the IT architecture roadmap. In addition, funds will be used to execute BMDS Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) Last Mile Integration for six (6) Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) sites leveraging the DoD Chief Information Officer Regional Clock installations at BMDS locations. This effort includes integration and test capabilities for element interface verification and provide operations and sustainment of the deployed PNT Last Mile integration capabilities at BMDS locations.
