Information Systems (SDD)

Abstract

This project supports Engineering and Manufacturing Development and Low Rate Initial Production (EMD/LRIP). Experimentation and demonstration will be used in this phase to reduce risk and inform supporting materiel solutions, CONOPS and TTPs. Efforts included in this project are: (1) Global Biosurveillance Portal (Global-BSP) (2) Chemical Biological Radiological and Nuclear Information Systems (CBRN IS) (3) Joint Effects Model 2 (JEM 2) (4) Joint Warning and Reporting Network 2 (JWARN 2), and (5) Software Support Activity (SSA). The Global-BSP is an unclassified, web-based computer and mobile application which facilitates collaboration, communication, and information sharing in support of the preparedness, detection, management, and mitigation of CBRN, as well as all hazard events. These capabilities enable the use of data visualization, real-time messaging and file sharing, and DoD and USG cooperation to expedite the timely identification and detection of CBRN events in order to minimize operational impacts to the local and global populations. CBRN IS provides a collaborative Cloud hosted environment that allows users to collect and disseminate CBRN warning and reporting data, provide detailed CBRN hazard predictions, aid in decision support, and make relevant CBRN defense information available in near-real time. CBRN IS provides an environment that supports the implementation of Integrated Early Warning (IEW) capabilities that allow users to access netted sensor information, data fusion, disease modeling, biosurveillance data, source term estimation data, incident management tools, and planning and analysis capabilities. The CBRN IS enterprise makes CBRN decision aids readily accessible from any desktop through a web browser simplifying interoperability, reducing integration and deployment costs and increases cybersecurity protection. The JEM 2 is a software application that provides the Department of Defense (DoD) with the only operationally tested and accredited tool to model and simulate the effects of Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) weapon strikes and incidents. JEM 2 applies advanced physics using weather, terrain, and agent characteristics to predict the time-phased impact of CBRN and Toxic Industrial Chemical/Material (TIC/TIM). JEM 2 displays hazard information on the Common Operational Picture (COP) and allows commanders to assess risk and take steps mitigate the effects of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) on operational forces. The JWARN 2 is a software application that provides the Department of Defense warning and reporting system that enables an immediate and integrated response to threats of contamination by WMD, CBRN and TIM incidents. JWARN 2 provides a digital display of CBRN reports on the COP, presented through Service provided Command and Control systems resident at all echelons of command. Commanders will be provided with enhanced situational battlespace awareness and support warfighter battle management and continuity of operations in a contaminated environment. The SSA provides for enterprise services in the areas of software development, network architecture, cybersecurity, technology transition, and information assurance standards and policies to support programs in conducting network architecture integration, technology transition insertion, and continued cybersecurity risk management framework efforts throughout the CBRND portfolio within the EMD/LRIP phase.
