Joint Technical Architecture - Air Force
Abstract
This Air Force instruction (AFI) implements Air Force Policy Directive (AFPD) 33-1, Command, Control, Communications, and Computer (C4) Systems. It mandates the Joint Technical Architecture - Air Force (JTA-AF) and describes implementation details, roles, and responsibilities. This instruction applies to all Air Force organizations and personnel involved in planning, designing, engineering, and managing the acquisition, installation and modification of Air Force information technology (IT) systems. In addition, it also applies to Air National Guard units when stationed on active duty bases and connected to the base infrastructure. This instruction supports the Department of Defense (DoD) 5000-series acquisition procurement publications. The JTA-AF is the IT technical architecture for the Air Force. It assists the Air Force in meeting the requirements of Title 40 U.S.C., Chapter 25, 1401 et seq. Public Law 104-208, 30 Sep 96, Clinger-Cohen Act, 1996 (formally the Information Technology Management Reform Act) to achieve an interoperable IT infrastructure and reduces costs of ownership. While the DoD Joint Technical Architecture (DoD JTA) mandates a core set of standards, the JTA-AF tailors and refines them for Air Force use. The JTA-AF also provides additional standards, standards profiles, recommended products, IT infrastructure architectures, and guidance not included in the DoD JTA. The JTA-AF encompasses the DoD JTA and, as such, is the single Air Force source for IT standards and products guidance. The JTA_AF and associated implementation plan, compliance procedures, configuration control processes, compliance database, and tools are available on the JTA-Af Web page, http://www.afca.scott.af.mil/jta-af/index.html.
