Modeling and Simulation
Abstract
The Modeling and Simulation project provides architecture, systems engineering and end-to-end analytical functions for DISA and its customers, ensuring integrated capabilities to fulfill warfighter mission requirements. Modeling and Simulation performs a broad spectrum of activities for the DoD communications planning and investment strategy, to include: application assessments, contingency planning, network capacity planning and diagnostics, and systems-level modeling and simulation. Modeling and Simulation develops across-theater information awareness for Combatant Commands through application solutions for integrated networks, to include DoD’s missions in Iraq and Afghanistan and the Defense Information Systems Network (DISN), by: (1) supporting the development and implementation of GIG Enterprise Wide Systems Engineering (EWSE) processes essential to evolving the GIG in a manner that enables interoperability and end-to-end performance for critical GIG programs; (2) developing standardized DISA systems analyses and integration processes to improve systems integration across DISA for all DISA developed communication systems and services; and (3) providing the underlying modeling and simulation and analytical support for end-to-end DISA and DoD systems engineering and assessment. These operations are to provide DoD decision makers, from the OSD level to the warfighter, with services and a suite of tools capable of identifying key points of impact on DoD command and control information systems and recommending tradeoffs within the GIG configuration with regard to prioritized performance, availability, and security. This effort will provide improved performance and cost-avoidance in the selected transitions and network deployments; improved network performance and efficient topology changes via accurate capacity design, as facilitated by insightful traffic analyses; improved performance of applications for DoD and the warfighter; efficient means of troubleshooting and enterprise applications redesign; and reduced risk in the program products provided to the warfighter. The Interoperability Enhancement Process (IEP) supports the resolution of Tactical Data Enterprise Services (TDES) implementation and issues resolution, the development of TDES capability, and TDES verification and certification. The overarching objective of the IEP will be to support the realization and maintenance of interoperable Net-Centric weapons, sensors, and C2 systems at the tactical edge. The IEP will utilize a jointly defined and developed interoperability tool set to determine the TDES interoperability capabilities of systems. Interoperability shortfalls (gaps) will be identified for each system. The gaps will be based on weapon, sensor or C2 system demonstrated information exchange capabilities analyzed with respect to the current policies, doctrines, architectures, operational concepts, concepts of employment, standards, roadmap(s), and the Joint Mission Threats (JTMs) that collectively form the standard view of the TDES Architecture. The interoperability gaps will be documented to provide each system a common format implementation specification for TDES Interoperability. This requirements process will be updated consistent with the maintenance/upgrade cycle for each system. For emerging (future) systems, the IEP will be conducted prior to Milestone “C” of the platform. DISA will support this process via: the establishment and maintenance of the IEP databases that contain platform system interoperability capabilities; the jointly approved standard view of the TDES Architecture; and the implementation specification(s) for TDES Interoperability. The Services will be responsible for development of the material solutions that provide system compliance with their respective implementation specification(s) for TDES Interoperability. The Services will update the DISA IEP databases with system interoperability capabilities as validated by flag level review. Validated data will include capability deviations and schedules for “full” Joint certification. A second component of the IEP will provide warfighters operationally relevant information to maximize employment of net-enabled systems. Services have agreed upon common capability characteristics to identify system performance in a joint environment. The collection of these efforts, when synchronized across the services and available to joint warfighters through net-centric capabilities is called Joint Capabilities and Limitations.
