GSIN (Global Integrated Sensor Network)

Abstract

The missions of US Space Command (USSPACECOM) and US Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM) include establishing and providing full-spectrum, global strike, coordinated space and information operations capabilities to meet both deterrent and decisive national security objectives and to provide operational space support, integrated missile defense, Global Command Control, Communications, and Computers Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR), nuclear enterprise, and specialized planning expertise. The Nation's strategic Command and Control (C2) sensors and mission planning programs cannot rapidly exchange information across multiple missions, creating ambiguity that delays time critical national C2 decision making processes. Global Sensor Integrated on Network (GSIN) developed and established a unified schema that integrates disparate Missile Warning (MW), Missile Defense (MD), Technical Intelligence (TI), Measurement and signature intelligence (MASINT), and a variety of non-traditional data into a single, exposed data set, providing resilient and unambiguous MW/MD data to national leadership. GSIN also enables existing radars and sensors to provide data in net-centric formats consumable by other authorized systems and mission areas, thus reducing the need to acquire more systems. Activities also include studies and analysis to support current program planning, execution, and future program planning. Global Data Integration (GDI) is the new project name previously known as Global Sensor Integration on Networks (GSIN). GDI supports the DoD Data Strategy, by exposing, transporting, and fusing previously stove-piped data and making it available, exploitable, and able to be analyzed for a variety of mission perspectives, agnostic of the Information Technology (IT) platform. GDI directly supports USSPACECOM, USSTRATCOM and other Combatant Commands and Major Commands, and Nuclear Enterprise Center (NEC) mission sets. As a leading Data as a Service (DaaS) and Analytics as a Service (AaaS) provider, GDI provides access to over 1,300+ diverse data sources; meshing selected systems and sensors, from tactical to strategic, including the nation's most modern and capable assets, improved algorithms, mobility, and forward deployment to provide earlier cross-cueing and expanded decision space when every second counts. GDI enables creation of a User-Defined Operating Picture (UDOP) to provide a single, unambiguous missile event picture allowing real-time collaboration for nuclear C2 and improved senior leader situational awareness (SA) for effective decision-making. GDI also improves Space Domain Awareness (SDA) by accessing additional sensor capability and provides this data for the larger space order of battle capabilities. GDI dramatically improves the ingestion of non-traditional, but readily available, non-US government and commercial data to the Space Force satellite catalog. GDI addresses US Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) and USSTRATCOM's signed Joint Emergent Operational Need (JEON) ST-0010 request for uninterrupted traditional and non-traditional sensor data integration, and is an enabling capability supporting the Global Threat Characterization Assessment (GTCA) Operational Planning Team report. GDI provides critical and unique data to USSPACECOM SDA data repositories to facilitate the large Space Battle Management Command and Control (BMC2) suite of capabilities/programs. Finally, GDI provides Cross Domain Solution (CDS) access, machine learning, data analysis and correlation/fusion functions to optimize SA in the field. The GDI Program includes two major thrusts: GDI Development; and Radar, Sensor, Technical Intelligence (TI), and Allied Systems data integration. The GDI Development effort includes four sub-efforts: 1) DATABAHN; 2) Fusion Engine for All-Source Tracking (FEAST), 3) Analytical Collaborative Environment - Multi Intelligence (ACE-M), and 4) Data Integrity (DI) efforts. - DATABAHN includes developing and fielding dedicated CDS Concepts of operation (CONOPS), including geographically-separated, redundant nodes, to provide greater operational resiliency. - FEAST fuses and correlates Radio Assisted Detection and Ranging (RADAR), Overhead Persistent Infrared (OPIR) and Electronic Signals Intelligence (ELINT) data at the SECRET level, and provides high-fidelity source geolocation in support of multiple DoD and Intelligence Community (IC) organizations. This capability is being replicated on Joint Worldwide Intelligence Communications System (JWICS), greatly increasing the functionality and value to the warfighter. - ACE-M is a cloud-based, multi enclave (Secure Internet Protocol Router (SIPR)/JWICS), battlespace awareness and tactical decision aid capability which provides agile access to authoritative and dynamic intelligence data feeds, analytics, and geospatial information layers in a single visualization environment. -DI develops plans to use artificial intelligence (AI) and block chain technology in support of data governance, provenance and discoverability. The Radar, Sensor, Technical Intelligence (TI), and Allied Systems data integration effort designs, develops, exposes and integrates data from radar, sensors and technical intelligence systems in regions of the world where potential GDI users currently do not have coverage. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver GDI capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program elements 0605826SF, 605827SF, 0605828SF, 0605829SF, 0605830SF, 0605831SF, 0605832SF, and 0605898SF. 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.
