Brigade and Platform Integration Support
Abstract
This project supports Phase IV through Phase VI of the Army's Agile Network Integration process. Based on developed baseline Brigade level architectures, System of Systems Integration (SOSI) will develop detailed plans and final architectures and horseblankets (to include Basis of Issue Plans (BOIPs)) to execute the integration of all hardware and software onto Soldier and vehicle systems to ensure an integrated network across the Brigade battlespace. This project includes government and contractor efforts to integrate (build A-Kits for vehicles) and validate that the Army is fielding platforms, components and software that are integrated together in order to provide increased capabilities for the Soldier that are trainable and maintainable. This project includes efforts associated with the integration of lab developed network solution on to Soldier and vehicle systems; the testing, verification and correction of the network components in preparation for hardware installation supporting the Network Integration Evaluation (NIE); the funding for selected Systems Under Evaluation (SUEs) (Hardware and Field Service Representative (FSR) support) to participate in NIE during Phase V of the Army's Agile process; the coordination and execution of LoadEX, COMMX, Pilot and the NIE evaluation, the de-modification of vehicles after completion of the event; and for the infrastructural support of these efforts at Ft Bliss TX and White Sands Missile Range, NM. FY 2014 will continue the NIE gap and evaluation process for NIE 14.2 and NIE 15.1. For example, out of the 106 SUE candidates that responded to the solicitation for NIE 13.1, 7 Systems Under Test (SUTs) and 25 SUEs were evaluated. These systems were evaluated against one of the Army's nine gaps identified for NIE 13.1 For NIE 13.2: against 11 gaps, 4 SUTs and 5 SUEs were selected for field evaluation and 4 SUEs were selected for Lab Base evaluation only. For NIE 14.1: 30 SUEs were submitted against the following 19 Gaps: (1) Brigade/Battalion Command Post (CP) Mobility and Scalability, (2) CDR Applications for Mobile/Handhelds (HH), (3) Network Visualization on the Common Operational Picture (COP), (4) Integrated LandWarNet, Installation Networks & Training Resources, (5) Aerial Layer Network Extension, (6) Air-Ground Network Architecture, (7) Enterprise Network Capabilities (e-mail), (8) Integrated Network Assurance - Network Access Control (NAC), (9) Integrated Network Assurance - Network Intrusion Prevention System, (10) Integrated Network Assurance - Information Assurance Vulnerability Mgmt, (11) Integrated Network Assurance - Security Information Management System, (12) Host Based Security System, (13) Integrated Trouble Ticketing, (14) Unified Communications Capability, (15) Evaluate instrumented Home Station Small Unit Training to include After Action Reports (AARs), (16) Operational Energy - Commonality of Soldier Carried Energy Sources, (17) Operational Energy - Energy Sources with Extended Duration and Power, (18) Operational Energy - Monitor and Manage System Power, supply and Demand, and (19) Operational Energy - Reduce Reliance on Petroleum Based Energy.
