Integrated Strategic Planning and Analysis Network Increment 5 (ISPAN Inc 5)
Abstract
ISPAN is a system-of-systems that spans multiple security enclaves for strategic and operational level planning and leadership decision making. The system is composed of two primary components: (1) a Global Adaptive Planning Collaborative Information Environment (GAP CIE) that manages strategy-to-execution planning across all United States Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM) mission areas; and (2) a Mission Planning and Analysis System (MPAS) that supports developing nuclear and conventional force application plans. 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. Today's force planning is increasingly 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. Both GAP CIE and MPAS establish a framework to support USSTRATCOMs effects-based planning and analysis activities.
