Information Systems for Installations

Abstract

The Virtual Testbed for Installation Mission Effectiveness (VTIME) is the Army's planned installation common operating picture, analysis, visualization and planning tool, serving as an integrating and processing hub for numerous Army Installations of the Future (IotF) technologies, supporting users across echelons. VTIME will support the Army installation enterprise with a near real-time common operating picture of data spanning functional areas and offer a modern analytic platform to support Army implementation of the Army Installations Strategy, Army Data Strategy, and Army Business Management Plan. VTIME is a cloud-based solution, being planned and prototyped to adapt and use a combination of commercially available technologies to comprehensively integrate and understand diverse installation data sources. VTIME will provide a novel capability to apply artificial intelligence and machine learning to improve strategic, operational, and tactical installation decision-making, spanning functions such as facility investment planning, space and land assignment, master planning, and Garrison operations. VTIME is being designed to support hybrid-cloud implementations, to offer installations the ability to support operations under network-contested conditions. This integrated and comprehensive tool will allow the senior commander to both maneuver in a complex battlespace by providing the ability to prevent, protect and recover from hazards and enable cost saving through improved decision-making and operational efficiencies, supporting future integrations of emerging IotF technology. Work is performed by the United States (U.S.) Army Engineer Research and Development Center. Work in this Project is related to, and fully coordinated with, PE 0605013A (Information Technology Development) and Project T05 (Army Business System Modernization Initiatives). Work in this Project supports the Army Installations Strategy as a critical enabler (data analytics) for modernization. Work in this Project complements the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Installations, Energy & Environment)'s Installations of the Future Program.
