ISPAN Increment 5

Abstract

INTEGRATED STRATEGIC PLANNING AND ANALYSIS NETWORK(ISPAN):ISPAN provides full-spectrum global strike, and coordinated space, missile defense, and information operations capabilities to meet both deterrent and decisive national security objectives. ISPAN is one of the most complex classified computer systems in the Department of Defense (DoD), and the only national force level planning system. Located at U.S. Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM), ISPAN develops and delivers software for nuclear strategic deliberate and adaptive planning, as well as, supports the Nuclear Posture Review and Unified Command Plan. In coordination with other Combatant Commands, Services, and appropriate U.S. Government agencies, USSTRATCOM provides operational space support, integrated missile defense, global command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR), and specialized planning expertise to the joint warfighter to deter and detect strategic attacks against the U.S. and its allies. ISPAN Increment 5 (INC5): ISPAN INC5 conducts continuous, ongoing agile software development activities to foster a secure software development environment. INC5 funding enables the program office to purchase software licenses for developer tools and development environments for unclassified, secret, and top-secret agile software development. The agile software development staff maintains hardware, system configuration, storage, back-up and recovery for contractor development and systems integration. INC5 supports agile processes including code repositories, configuration management, continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines, automation testing, automation validation and delivery. The agile developer environment meets classified, security regulations/criteria and promotes competition. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver ISPAN Increment 5 system capability. The use of such programs funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605831F. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.
