INFORMATION SYSTEMS (EMD)
Abstract
This project supports System Development and Demonstration and Low Rate Initial Production (SDD/LRIP). Efforts included in this project are: (1) Joint Effects Model (JEM) Increment 2 and (2) Software Support Activity (SSA). The Joint Effects Model (JEM) is the DoD's only accredited model that has been operationally tested and deemed effective for predicting hazards associated with the release of contaminants into the environment. JEM is a software-only, ACAT III program that is being developed in separate increments and is capable of modeling hazards in a variety of scenarios including: counterforce, passive defense, accident and/or incidents; high altitude releases, incident source prediction to include NTA events, urban CBRN/Toxic Industrial Hazard environments, human inhalation, contagious/infectious disease, population movements, efficacy of medical countermeasures, industrial transport; building interiors, and human performance degradation. Battlespace commanders and first responders must have a CBRN hazard prediction capability in order to make decisions that will minimize risks of CBRN contamination and enable them to continue mission operations. JEM operates in an integrated fashion with operational and tactical Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) systems, and in a standalone mode. JEM interfaces and communicates with the other programs such as JWARN, weather systems, intelligence systems, and various databases. JEM and JWARN Increment 2 will utilize the Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS) Manual prescribed Agile Information Technology Box "IT Box" concept for managing requirements for the follow-on increments of capability development. Use of the "IT Box" acquisition approach increases flexibility and will expedite fielding of Information System products through build decisions versus traditional DoD Milestone Decisions. Each program will use an Information Systems Initial Capabilities Document (IS ICD) to describe the overall development effort. After the IS ICD is approved, future requirement details will be captured in Requirements Definition Packages (RDP) and will be approved at the Functional Capability Board (FCB) level. In order to support an agile incremental approach, each program will ensure that the "IT Box" describes the entire IT program and not just a single increment. As software-intensive systems both JEM and JWARN have no separately identifiable unit production components. Both are designated ACAT III programs and unit cost calculations including Program Acquisition Unit Cost/Average Procurement Unit Cost (PAUC/APUC) and Operations and Sustainment (O&S) average annual per unit costs are not applicable. The SSA is a user developmental support and service organization focusing on development assistance and net-centric interoperability. The SSA provides the CBRN Warfighter with Joint Service solutions for Integrated Architectures, Information Assurance, Verification, Validation and Accreditation (VV&A) and Data Management; interoperable and integrated net-centric, Service-oriented, composable solutions for CBD; and infusion of latest technologies into programs of record. The CBRN user community and related communities of interest have the need for a CBRN "plug and play" capability to allow interoperability and re-configurability across the enterprise. The requirement for net-centric, composable solutions provides the near term foundation for the Warfighter's ability to communicate his CBRN solutions and interoperate with other Service operational systems. It also supports a longer term ability to interoperate with related agencies and to reduce the Warfighter's CBRN footprint as technologies improve. The SSA also directly supports various Bio-Surveillance efforts in training and logistics coordination. The SSA is re-baselining the entire Information Management/Information Technology (IM/IT) work-flow in support of the Bio-Surveillance Portal. By creating a catalog of portlets a user will be able to select the portlets that they need/use and will have access to data that is appropriate for them in a customizable format.
