Strategic Mission Planning and Execution System (SMPES)

Abstract

BA-08 Pilot Program - PEO Digital C2 Portfolio Software. Capabilities Include: INTEGRATED STRATEGIC PLANNING AND ANALYSIS NETWORK (ISPAN): The mission of USSTRATCOM is to conduct global operations in coordination with other Combatant Commands, Services, and appropriate U.S. Government agencies to deter and detect strategic attacks against the U.S. and its allies. It provides full-spectrum global strike, and coordinated space, missile defense, and information operations capabilities to meet both deterrent and decisive national security objectives. USSTRATCOM will also provide operational space support, integrated missile defense, global command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR), and specialized planning expertise to the joint warfighter. ISPAN enables USSTRATCOM to carry out these missions. It is one of DoD's most complex classified computer systems and the only national force level planning system. ISPAN Increment 5 (INC5) Program is conducting continuous, ongoing agile software development activities producing a secure software development environment. In addition, INC5 purchases 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. The program 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 which includes TS which will promote competition even among offers without TS classified environments. Mission Planning and Analysis System (MPAS) - MPAS consists of 17 separate subsystems. MPAS enables USSTRATCOM to accomplish its unique mission of developing Joint Staff Level I through Level IV nuclear and conventional attack options for national and theater requirements. Force planning is more complicated due to weapons reductions, increased accuracy requirements and delivery options, changing targeting requirements, shortened timelines for senior leader decision-making, and reduced financial resources to develop and sustain these national planning capabilities. ISPAN Increment 4 modernized MPAS and allowed it to fulfill the requirements for a more timely, flexible, and agile planning. ISPAN Increment 5 is a follow-on to ISPAN Increment 4 and provides new capabilities of Resiliency and Consequence of Execution analysis. Global Adaptive Planning Collaborative Information Environment (GAP-CIE) - GAP CIE is a Joint Operation Planning application for rapid integrated Course of Action (COA) development that supports Strategic and Operational Situational Awareness of Global Events, Crisis Action Planning, and Campaign/Contingency Plan development for all DoD Planners. GAP CIE is a Web-based, collaborative Joint Operation Planning (JOP) tool for the combatant commander and strategic level. The system provides contingency and crisis action planning, allowing multiple combatant command staffs, other agencies and subordinate commands to collaborate online. Provides enterprise applications and communications support services for joint courses of action development in support of the USSTRATCOM mission; makes available collaborative information capabilities to Combatant Commands, Service components, agencies, and Joint Staff. Provides collaborative joint operations planning, orders development & shared awareness "Dashboards". GAP CIE itself is a part of U.S. Strategic Command's Integrated Strategic Planning and Analysis Network (ISPAN), which is an operational planning an analysis network modernization program that supports the command's global strike, missile defense and information operations, along with nuclear deterrence responsibilities. GAP CIE includes two functional components - the GAP CIE planning environment, and the Global Situational Awareness Tool (GSAT). The planning environment provides Deliberative Planning, Crisis Action Planning, and Decision Support tools, while GSAT allows commanders to view geospatial, temporal and relational planning data. Both parts allow subject matter experts to share situational awareness, according to the original presolicitation. Nuclear Planning and Execution System (NPES) - NPES is a National C2 automated information system (AIS) that supports all phases of nuclear conflict. The requirement includes all facets of Cyber investments as it relates NPES Legacy enhancements, test, communication systems and operational server integration with fixed command centers, distributed sites, and mobile platforms. NPES Legacy is a joint program, with the Air Force assigned lead service responsibilities. All NPES funding covers current and future cyber related investments necessary for a successful operational application/system delivery, for fixed command centers, distributive sites and mobile platforms. Provides for various levels of support of all Command and Control Software Engineering (C2SES) projects. Also, provides communications, security and human factor engineering support (current and future) as it pertains to the successful operation of NPES. Supports all communication interfaces with software development, data management, software re-engineering and NPES Operations to include requirements validation and training. Support is to maintain the systems at all NPES sites and platforms. Modernizes Decision Support/Knowledge Management, Information Visualization, Integrated/fused depiction of global battle space, Common Missile Event Picture, Strategic/Theater tracks/overlays, and Collaboration. This program is in Budget Activity 8, Software and Digital Technology Pilot Program because this budget activity includes funding provided for expenses necessary for agile development, test and evaluation, procurement, production and modification, and the operation and maintenance of these programs.
