Army Systems Engineering, Architecture & Analysis
Abstract
This project provides the Army's leadership and materiel developers with the necessary system of systems engineering (SOSE), analysis and architectural products to manage and shape the Army's materiel portfolio (5 and 30 year plans); to shape future Network Capability Sets that include Operational Capability Sets (OCS) and Institutional Capability Sets (ICS)(per the approved CIO/G6 LandWarNet 2020 and beyond strategy) and corresponding post/camp/station modernization and integrated base defense; to ensure Systems Engineering discipline across the Materiel developer community throughout the acquisition life, engineering policy and system standards, guidelines. It creates a system of systems level environment that empowers the Acquisition Community through an unsurpassed agile, collaborative, productive, lean and trusted information enterprise. This project includes support to other DOD and international agencies for joint programs and collaboration efforts with NIE and Force Basing/Tactical Capability Set portfolio integration. The Government effort includes costs for salaries, travel, overtime, training, supplies, facilities, and IT support. This project establishes the capability to develop and deliver the system of system engineering, analysis and architecture products that facilitate analysis & trades and provide timely relevant information to inform decision makers and guide the Army's modernization efforts. This project provides for the development and implementation of a comprehensive set analysis and system architectures that shape the Army's priorities and processes, and synchronizes the enterprise architecture development capability across Assistant Secretary of the Army (Acquisition, Logistics, and Technology) (ASA (ALT)) is cohesive within the agile process. It provides for development and maintenance of the overarching end-to-end LandWarNet (LWN) Network Capability Set (NCS) System of Systems (SOS) Reference Architecture with included NCS SoS Specification and all Army formations that form the basis for representing and communicating the Army's programmed plan to HQDA customers and Program Executive Officers/Program Managers (PEOs/PMs). The LWN NCS SoS Reference Architecture is composed of the NCS Institutional Capability Set SoS Reference Architecture and the NCS Operational Capability Set SoS Reference Architecture. The Institutional Capability Set is composed of the Enterprise Component and Installation Component. Communications and computing for Base Camps and Brigade Combat Teams are included in the NCS Operational Capability Set. It enables analyses and trades that use the reference architecture design data to inform implementation architectures and support informed systems acquisition decisions across the life cycle. It provides for single authority within ASA(ALT) for System of Systems Implementation Architecture oversight to manage governance and approvals of emerging system designs, it also ensures the linkage of architecture products to events (NIE, CS, Weapons Systems Reviews (WSRs), Integrated WSRs (I-WSR), supporting the Program Objective Memorandum (POM) process)), processes, and customer requirements. The data is organized in order to support views and analysis across organizational, portfolio, and budgeting bins. Among the key products/processes developed by SOSE is the System of Systems Engineering Management Plan. This plan provides the disciplined and coordinated SoS analysis, engineering and architectural products in order to support strategic and enterprise decision making, efficient capability growth and effective Army modernization. Another is the Common Operation Environment (COE) vision, strategy, and implementation plan for the Army that aims to converge solutions to a common framework, increase cyber security, decrease life cycle costs, and improve interoperability, and leverage industry and GOTS solutions. These documents establish and expose to industry the technical standards, which any sized vendor can understand, internalize and build towards. This efficiency helps increase competition and helps lower software and hardware integration burden and costs. The implementation plan is a living document that will remain flexible as the Army continues to evolve its network standards and fielding methods. The Implementation Plan calls for the Army to continuously seek industry and service's input throughout the COE life cycle. This project provides for technical support to oversee the execution of the COE Implementation plan, COE Orchestration, Verification and Validation (V&V), and Governance. It also provides for the development and execution of COE integration policies and procedures, the development and implementation of backwards capability testing, integration checklists and their verification, test hardware development and implementation support. It provides for COE architecture validation, design baseline validation, and the verification of COE reference architecture compliance.
