Sensor Computing Environment (SCE)
Abstract
The Sensor Computing Environment (SCE) provides interoperability for sensors and systems across the Army. SCE operates across any modality of sensors and is designed for resilient operations in tactical conditions. Sensor CE provides the following capabilities to the Army and End Users: Provides software, standards, and a common sensor data model for all sensor information; Enables interoperability and understanding across all network security enclaves; Enables the sharing and control of sensor information; Provides a mature Software Development Kit (SDK) for rapid integration of sensors onto the Army's networks; and Implements the COE Cross Cutting Capability (CCC) for Sensor Alert Distribution providing common sensor awareness from tactical edge to all systems on the Enterprise network. The end state for SCE is to ensure the accessibility of multi-domain sensor data to those who need it through the network to enable information sharing among CEs while reducing acquisition and life-cycle costs through open standards and re-usable solutions across programs. This vision becomes achievable with the implementation of the COE CCC through the Army's MCN modernization. FY2025 funding in the amount of $2.392 million maintains support of currently fielded Integrated Sensor Architecture (ISA) capabilities for sensor interoperability. Capabilities Include: Common Sensor Data Model, Definition of Standard, Interface Specification, Architecture Definition, Mature Software Development Kit (SDK), Compliance Verifications & Validation Tools. Yearly technology refreshes of ISA software support evolving cyber, sensor, and network changes in the Army. DK3 Sensor CE program will support the Army's Common Operating Environment (COE), and the further development of requirements to define the standards for interoperability used when connecting sensors to the Army networks. This will follow the Integrated Sensor Architecture (ISA), which is a Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) that provides a modular solution and extensible data model that can be used to meet requirements of operations with any modality of sensor, from Enterprise to tactical networks, across any security enclave, and capable of being used on embedded platforms.
