Tactical Edge Data Solutions (TEDS)
Abstract
The Tactical Edge Data Solutions JCTD was validated by the Joint Requirements Oversight Council in FY 2010. The stated outcome of the JCTD is the implementation of C2 Core extensions for tactical information at the Battalion level so that Web-services data sharing frameworks based on Universal Core (UCore) can enable data sharing among disparate systems. The JCTD will focus on exchanging data from Army and Marine Corps C2 Authoritative Data Sources (ADS) for the Command and Control (C2) and Battlespace Awareness domains. The efficiencies to be gained will be reduction of redundant software being developed across multiple programs and the ability to seamlessly exchange data within Military Services as well as NATO and coalition partners who adopt UCore. UCore is the U.S. Government standard for interagency data exchange. The lead CoCom is U.S. JFCOM. The Marine Corps is providing the technical lead and the Army is providing the transition manager. Transition of the C2 Core extensions and Web services for translation and semantic mediation is planned for programs of record in the Army, Marine Corps and DISA. The output of the JCTD will enable moving C2 systems to DoD’s goal of implementing a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) environment. The final demonstration date will be in midyear FY 2012 and the JCTD will complete in September 2012 with transition expected in FY 2013 of data pilot services.
