The Combined Enterprise Regional Information Exchange System -- The Way Ahead
Abstract
The Combined Enterprise Regional Information Exchange System (CENTRIXS) is a coordinated Department of Defense Program established at the request of the Combatant Commands (COCOMs) to support the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT). CENTRIXS is a standing, global enterprise network allowing U.S. and coalition nations and their forces, in a seamless manner, to securely share operational and intelligence information in support of combined planning, unity of effort, and decision making in multinational operations. This thesis describes CENTRIXS networks that support the needs of the COCOMs on a global basis. The document also addresses who is connected to whom, what kinds of information must be passed from one user to another, and the services provided to the users of CENTRIXS networks. The authors conduct a Knowledge Value Added analysis to streamline the manning and usability of CENTRIXS nodes. They also explore how to efficiently and effectively go through the process of acquisition, installation, and accreditation of a CENTRIXS node.
