Systems Engineering for the Global Information Grid: An Approach at the Enterprise Level

Abstract

Because the numerous United States Department of Defense (DoD) and Intelligence Community (IC) networks were originally built to serve many different constituencies, making the Global Information Grid (GIG) a reality requires solving interoperability and performance issues at the enterprise level. This will be accomplished through the use of systems engineering a discipline whose techniques manage the complexity of systems from abstraction to decomposition. The GIG Technical Foundation (GTF) addresses a number of systems engineering challenges involving focus, evolution, coverage, and applicability.
