Department of Defense (DoD) 5G Operations Office Baseline
Abstract
The Office of the Undersecretary of Defense (Research and Engineering) (OUSD(R and E)) Director of 5G Operations tasked DS TAT to conduct an analysis and support the development, implementation, and documentation of procedures for managing the 5G program. The client requested a full assessment to support the transition and build-out of the OUSD(R and E) 5G as a directorate within the OUSD(R and E) modernization program, to support planning and managing the execution of the 5G to Next G initiative. To accomplish this task an assessment of requirements and interviews of 5G key personnel were conducted. DS TATs analytic approach required identifying repeatable processes; current alignment and maturity with respect to planning, direction, execution, management, and oversight programs; and identification of gaps in 5G program routines compared to program goals and present capabilities. DS TAT produced documents and six recommendations targeted towards the promotion of 5G efficiency in planning, managing, and providing oversight of 5G rapid development, experimentation, and testbed prototyping, and full integration of the 5G within R and E. This document and its recommendations would be useful to the DoD community to elucidate how the 5G Directorate organizes to conduct traditional OSD-level oversight, as well as its enterprise-level program management, and to enable the near-term delivery of validated 5G technologies that are ready for operational transition and integration across a full range of DoD modernization programs.
