INFORMATION SYSTEMS (ACD&P)

Abstract

This project includes efforts responsible for providing the information architecture and applications for shaping the battlespace against the Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) threat. During this phase, efforts will continue prototyping and technology development and transition efforts for new technologies and capabilities to fulfill requirements. Efforts included in this project are: (1) the Global-Biosurveillance Portal (G-BSP) (2) the Joint Effects Model 2 (JEM 2) (3) the Joint Warning and Reporting Network 2 (JWARN 2) (4) the Software Support Activity (SSA). G-BSP will complete remaining efforts for prototyping, developing, and evaluating new technologies, models, and tools from both internal and external developers for transition into G-BSP, as needed. This will be integrated into a web-based enterprise environment that facilitates collaboration, communication, and information sharing in support of the detection, management, and mitigation of man-made and naturally occurring biological hazards. This will result in a set of tools and capabilities that facilitate the timely identification and detection of CBRN events in order to minimize operational impacts to the local and global populations. JEM 2 will continue to adapt and merge emerging science and technology (S&T) capability into a unified architecture and common software baseline that expedites transition of mature S&T into the JEM 2 baseline. This will be integrated into a web-based software application that supplies the Department of Defense (DoD) with the only operationally tested and accredited tool to effectively model and simulate the effects of Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) weapon strikes and incidents. This will provide warfighters with the ability to accurately model and predict the time-phased impact of CBRN and Toxic Industrial Chemical/Material (TIC/TIM) events and effects. Additionally, this will support planning efforts to mitigate the effects of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) and to provide rapid estimates of hazards and effects integrated into the Common Operational Picture (COP). JWARN 2 will continue integration of emerging science and technology capabilities received from Advanced Technical Development (ATD) phase and complete JWARN Technology Demonstrations and User Assessments to evaluate and prove component and subsystem maturity of critical science and technology, system performance, and validate requirements within the IT BOX construct and Agile Process developed software prototype(s). This will be integrated into an accredited DoD warning and reporting system that enables an immediate and integrated response to threats of contamination by WMD, CBRN and TIM incidents. This will provide a digital display of CBRN 1-6 reports on the COP, displayed through Service provided Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (C4I) C2 systems resident at all echelons of command. Commanders will be provided with enhanced situational awareness throughout the area of operation, supports warfighter battle management and continuity of operations in a contaminated environment. The SSA will continue required modifications to the integrated Architecture on host platforms and document the infrastructure and technical standards, developing an acquisition Cybersecurity/IA strategy and architecture products for the JWARN, JEM, Man portable radiological detection system, Radiological Detection System, Next generation Chemical detector and other JPEO CBD programs and initiatives. This will provide the Chem-Bio Defense user developmental support and service organization to facilitate net-centric interoperability of systems in acquisition for the Warfighter. This includes, but is not limited to, solutions for Cybersecurity/Information Assurance (IA), Integrated Architectures, Data Management/Modeling, Interoperability Certifications, Verification, Validation and Accreditation (VV&A) to support interoperable and integrated net-centric, service-oriented solutions for CBRN systems.
