JFACC Information Management (IM) Capability: Operational Concept
Abstract
This paper details an operational concept calling for an Information Management (IM) capability to support a Joint Force Air and Space Component Commander (JFACC) and an Air and Space Component in 2010. It proposes the establishment of a Community of Interest (COI) construct, a JFACC IM organization, and the supporting operational processes. Throughout the Department of Defense (DoD) there are numerous ongoing efforts supporting the goal of net-centricity. Most of the impetus is system-oriented or reflects a system-centric approach. The concept described in this paper focuses on the operational aspects, i.e., business processes supporting the JFACC that will take full advantage of the net-centric environment in 2010. The proposed concept presents an approach to make data visible, accessible, understandable, and trustable. It allows information managers to reach across traditionally stove-piped organizations processes and applications to meld the information within a net-centric environment and allow users to seek and use the information they need across the battlespace. The first chapter defines the problem space for the MITRE architecture team of Jay Vittori and Jeff Cook. Chapter 2 details their analysis process and how they framed their IM vision for 2010. Chapter 3 highlights the major precepts of that vision, the JFACC Information Management Capability Concept. Chapter 4 contains the specific processes associated with the concept, i.e., processes to: provide information management/net-centricity governance; manage information/net-centric data accessibility; manage the JFACCs net-centric data; build and monitor net-centric pictures; and manage information assurance/network defense operations within a net-centric environment.
