Army Systems Engineering, Architecture & Analysis
Abstract
This project provides the Army's leadership and materiel developers with the necessary Capability Set (CS) modernization planning, critical path analysis, risk analysis and mitigation planning, system of systems engineering (SOSE), technical analysis and architectural products to inform the Army's materiel portfolio (5 and 30 year plans). This project explicitly includes critical Common Operating Environment (COE) and Cyber Security engineering, architecture and governance development tasks necessary to develop effective, affordable and secure network capabilities to meet Network 2020 and Force 2025 initiatives. This project captures and manages at the CS level, senior stakeholder guidance (i.e. Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC), G3/5/7, G2, and Chief Information Officer (CIO)/G6) to shape future Network Capability Sets (i.e. enterprise scope), Operational Capability Sets (OCS) and Institutional Capability Sets (ICS) (per the approved CIO/G6 LandWarNet (LWN) 2020 and beyond strategy) and corresponding post/camp/station modernization and integrated base defense (IBD) requirements. This project defines and executes its mission in the context of a SoS Engineering Management Plan (SoSEMP), that provides comprehensive engineering, analysis and architecture processes across early CS requirements and roadmap development; engineering and analysis tasks; lab and field risk reduction efforts; Network Integration Evaluation (NIE) system of systems (SoS) scope CS evaluation; and unit-specific architectural planning support to boots-on-the-ground synchronized fielding execution. These SoSEMP processes deliver authoritative products at a CS/SoS and platform level that informs and captures senior leadership decisions, supporting critical path execution of CS modernization efforts, including Force 2025 initiatives. This project includes support to other Department of Defense (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 Information Technology (IT) support. This project establishes the capability to develop and deliver authoritative system of system engineering, analysis and architecture products, through focused analysis & trades, against defined and managed CS goals and roadmap. These products provide timely and relevant information to inform decision makers in the Army's modernization prioritization challenges. These products are unique in that they encompass a cross-Program Executive Office (PEO), cross-portfolio perspective of modernization initiatives, affording analysis activities at senior leadership levels for informing Weapon System Review (WSR)/POM priorities, as well as more strategic challenges such as Force 2025 objectives. The products focus on critical path SoS dependencies necessary to define, evaluate and field CS capabilities, per ARFORGEN. These products are developed in tight coordination with a wide spectrum of stakeholder organizations, from G3 and TRADOC, to PEO/Program Management Office (PMO) leadership, to gaining units during synchronized fielding. The primary level of effort in this project is in the validation of its products with stakeholder SME, to assure they are relevant, validated and authoritative for supporting CS design and decision challenges. To aid senior leadership and engineering activities in comprehending the complexities of the cross-PEO/cross-portfolio/POM scope modernization planning challenges, this project provides for Formation-level Reference Architectures (Operational Views ((OV)-1's), with included NCS SoS Specification and all Army formations, that form the basis for representing and communicating the Army's programmed plan to Headquarters, Department of the Army (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 also 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. These products are derived directly from an Integrated Basis of Issue Feeder Data (IBOIFD) product that aggregates Program of Record (POR) Basis of Issue (BOI) feeder data, and becomes the managed fielding baseline plan for network procurement decisions, directly feeding unit-specific Table of Organization and Equipment (TOE)/Modified TOE (MTOE) fielding baselines. This data provides for single authority within Assistant Secretary of the Army (Acquisition, Logistics and Technology (ASA(ALT)) for System of Systems Implementation Architecture oversight to inform and manage governance and approvals of emerging SoS designs, defining necessary compliance guidance for SoS scope initiatives and concerns (i.e. Common Operating Environment (COE) and Cyber). This project explicitly addresses the orchestration, management, and oversight Common Operation Environment (COE), an Army Priority 1 initiative. It includes development of vision, strategy, and plans for migrating solutions to a common infrastructure; increase the Army's cyber security posture; decrease life cycle costs; improve and simplify interoperability and integration; and leverage industry and government developed solutions. This project provides ASA(ALT) Cyber Focal for all Cyber requirements. Synchronization and analysis of integrated capabilities, resources and requirements to enhance cyber security and resiliency across the materiel development and cyber operational communities. Lead ASA(ALT) implementation of Cyber requirements through analysis and decomposition of requirements, alignment with the appropriate programs, and synchronization of an integrated execution/acquisition approach. Provides governance and standards to enable the advancement of decisive cyber operations. Leads cross-portfolio resource planning and facilitates the materiel development and cyber operational communities through agile acquisition strategies. Manages ASA(ALT) mission assurance and compliance; Governance; Cyber Security; Cyber Architecture; and Defense Industrial Base (DIB) Cyber Security Office.
