INFORMATION SYSTEMS (OP SYS DEV)
Abstract
This Project provides for the upgrade and modernization of fielded Information Systems including the Joint Effects Model (JEM) and the Joint Warning and Reporting Network (JWARN). This project also provides for the 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 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, urban Nuclear Biological Chemical (NBC) environments; building interiors, and human performance degradation. Battle space commanders and first responders must have a Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear (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. The Joint Warning and Reporting Network (JWARN) will provide the Joint Forces with a comprehensive Integrated Early Warning, Analysis and Response capability to minimize the effects of hostile CBRN attacks, as well as accidents and incidents. It will provide the operational capability to employ CBRN warning technology which will collect, analyze, identify, locate, report, and disseminate warnings. JWARN will be compatible and integrated with Joint Service C4ISR Systems. JWARN will transition from platform specific Common Operating Environment (COE) standards to a Web-based Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). JWARN will also provide an expansion of sensors that will connect to JWARN, increased automation of message handling, improved false alarm filtering, integration of route-planning calculator, and interoperability with additional command and control (C2) systems. JWARN will be located in Command and Control Centers at the appropriate level and will be employed by CBRN defense specialists and other designated personnel. This employment will transfer data automatically from existing and future sensors to provide commanders with the capability to support operational decision making in a CBRN environment. JWARN will provide additional data processing to support the production of plans and reports, and access to specific CBRN information to improve the efficiency of limited CBRN personnel assets. JWARN will integrate existing sensors into a sensor network or host C2 system, but does not provide the sensors that will be employed in the operating environment. The JWARN capability described above will be developed utilizing an incremental approach based on Service requirements and host system architecture. The SSA is a CBDP enterprise-wide, user developmental support and service organization focusing on development assistance and net-centric interoperability. SSA provides the CBRN community with critical "plug and play" capabilities which allow for system modularity and re-configurability across the enterprise. SSA helps ensure that the various programs and projects are designing/adhering to DoD and industry standards to avoid proprietary/stove-pipe solutions. 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 IM/IT work-flow in support of the Bio-Surveillance Portal. By creating a catalog of portlets (think apps on a smart-phone) 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.
