Single Integrated Air Picture (SIAP) Progress, Plans, and Recommendations
Abstract
This report responds to USD(AT&L)'s (Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition, Technology and Logistics) 25 June 2001 tasking to the Single Integrated Air Picture (SIAP) Acquisition Executive. The memorandum requested a report on the Single Integrated Air Picture System Engineering Task Force's: (1) Progress; (2) Plans to define the SIAP Integrated Architecture, identify and resolve problems with the Joint Data Network (JDN), and define the elements of the Joint Composite Tracking Network (JCTN); and (3) Emerging issues and recommendations A key driver behind this request stemmed from OASD (C31) and 0USD (AT&L) questions regarding how the DoD would develop a JDN/JCTN road map. Our approach is to use DoD's C4ISR architectural discipline to flow requirements to materiel alternatives that will define that road map. We began by assuming the proposed JCTN concept represented an accurate, low latency network (Integrated Fire Control (IFC) being one of the key engineering drivers). We expect to have our initial draft of the SIAP architectural framework by December 2002. This report captures key events, ideas and operational factors that drove DoD decisions to establish the SIAP System Engineering Task Force. It outlines the architectural process the Task Force expects to follow in building the architectural framework for the SIAP component of the Theater Air and Missile Defense (TAMD) integrated Architecture - the road map is a piece of this architecture.
