The Common Sync Framework: A Cross-Cutting Software Service for the Common Operating Environment
Abstract
The Common Operating Environment, Version 3 (COEv3) is a set of technologies and standards introduced by the U.S. Army. It is a part of a broad effort to standardize disparate computer systems across different environments, platforms, use cases, and programs. Many branching sub-efforts support the broader COEv3 effort. Mission Command Modernization (MCM) is one of these sub-efforts. The goal of MCM is to standardize computing systems across the Mission Command domain of operation. The MCM strategy calls for the development or acquisition of several critical software components that fit together to form a computing infrastructure. The Mission Command software systems will use this infrastructure for communications and interoperability. This report describes a central and key component within the MCM computing infrastructure called the Common Sync Framework (CSF). It will emphasize how the CSF fits into the infrastructure. Since it can be difficult to visualize how the various MCM infrastructure components fit together from an outside (non-development) perspective, a complete and correct description of the CSF will help facilitate broader understanding and success of the CSF development effort.
