CENTRALIZED TECHNICAL SUPPORT FACILITY (CTSF)
Abstract
Project C29 - Centralized Technical Support Facility: The Central Technical Support Facility (CTSF) located at FT Hood, Texas, is the Army's premier test, integration, and certification facility for interoperability. It is the Army's strategic facility responsible for supporting and conducting system engineering associated with integrating Army Battle Command System (ABCS) Weapon System architectures into a System of Systems, performing Army Interoperability Certification (AIC) testing and conducting configuration management for all operational and tactical level applications (individual systems, System of Systems, and families of systems) prior to fielding. The CTSF provides validated test data to the Department of the Army and Joint agencies to validate interoperability certifications. The current expansion of the distributed test environment of the CTSF will be accomplished through the Federation of Net-centric Sites (FaNS) construct. This FaNS construct addresses distributed integration development and testing using the core infrastructure of the CTSF to harness AMC, Army, and Joint expertise/resources. Through these federated resources, the CTSF will execute interoperability development and certification testing of the Warfighter and Business mission areas, to include Brigade Combat Team Modernization spin-outs, as they digitize and become part of the Army's LandWarNet. Projected relocation of CTSF to Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, anticipated not later than FY 2014.
