FORCEnet
Abstract
FORCEnet is the Navy and Marine Corps initiative to deliver Information Warfare (IW) and achieve Department of the Navy (DoN)/Department of Defense (DoD) Transformation, Joint/Allied/Coalition Interoperability, implementing Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA), and Net-Centric Operations/Warfare (NCO/W). Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) IW effort focuses prioritization and organizational responsibility for IW, cyber, intelligence and sensors resulting in increased scope of systems, platforms and mission areas. FORCEnet is a foundation of Sea Power 21, Naval Power 21, which is the Naval Operating Concept (NOC) for Joint Operations, and the DoN's Naval Transformation Roadmap. The FORCEnet project line funds the following efforts: (1) IW Portfolio Health Assessment (PHA): Funding supports PHAs of Navy mission areas and identifies gaps in IW capabilities in the context of assessed mission areas. Funds support vignettes, technical baselines, architecture products, and briefings developed to support sponsor decision making processes. (2) The Chief of Naval Operations concurred with the Task Force Netted Navy recommendation to stand up the Digital Warfare Office (DWO) to set requirements, prioritize resources, and lead efforts on information interoperability and human/machine teaming. NAVAIR, NAVSEA, SPAWAR, associated Program Executive Offices, warfare and system centers and University Affiliated Research Centers/Federally Funded Research and Development Centers will support the Model Based Engineering, Technical Design, and Requirements branches in the new DWO under OPNAV N2N6. In order to develop capability from the top down, the DWO will develop requirements for the system of systems to include all of the associated interoperability requirements. Due to the complexity of this work, the DWO will evolve the traditional requirements development methodology to a model based systems engineering environment that will include associated model extensions, reports, views, configuration management, help desk support, and documentation. This work will be completed by a series of teams, each focused on a separate threat domain, and made up of system modelers, fleet representatives, program of record representatives, architecture and interoperability experts, etc. The products generated by these teams will include data technical baselines for domain areas with individual profiles for each program of record, coordinated requirements recommendations, and potential areas for S&T and experimentation to fill gaps. The DWO will also explore emerging digital technologies including human/machine teaming. Each SYSCOM will be involved in creating Data Technical Baseline (DTB) profiles specific for each program of record. DTBs may consist of interfaces, protocols, content, information quality, architectural aspects, and knowledge base frameworks. SYSCOMs will exercise technical authority to assess Program of Record compliance to DTBs and Key Performance Parameters in support of gate reviews and system engineering technical reviews.
