Agile Coalition Environment (ACE)
Abstract
The Agile Coalition Environment (ACE) program consists of a combined synergistic group of emerging network-centric and information assurance (IA) technologies. These combined ACE technologies provide the warfighter with enhanced information sharing, collaborative tools, and situational awareness capabilities that are both dynamic and secure. Warfighters have access to all required user applications and multiple security enclaves of information at a single workstation. Interoperability is achieved across all applications, platforms, and security domains. ACE is presented as a network capability that can be applied to the Coalition Enterprise Information Exchange System (CENTRIXS) as well as other coalition or Community of Interest (COI) networks that require information sharing across multiple security domains between U.S. and coalition forces. ACE technologies have evolved during a 4-year spiral development cycle and have targeted warfighters at all levels for improving interoperability and knowledge management for current and future joint and coalition operations. This evolution for developing tomorrow's IT capabilities has been based on requirements, technology insertion, operational experimentation, and improvements as a result of Joint, Coalition, and Naval Fleet feedback. The United States Pacific Command (USPACOM) is the ACE program's sponsoring organization, and the U.S. Navy Space and Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR) provides project management and technical support. Twenty-three briefing charts summarize the presentation.
