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). Efforts included in this project are: (1) Joint Effects Model (JEM); (2) the Joint Warning and Reporting Network (JWARN); and (3) Software Support Activity (SSA). JEM and JWARN utilize the Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS) Manual prescribed Agile Information Technology Box "IT Box" construct for managing requirements for the follow-on increments of capability development. The "IT Box" is an acquisition approach and methodology regarding how software systems should be developed and fielded. It is a process that differs from the way DoD acquires hardware systems. The acquisition approach uses the Information Systems Initial Capabilities Document (IS ICD) to describe the required operational capabilities for the entire development effort. These overarching requirements are further broken out into Requirements Definition Packages (RDPs) released over the life of the product instead of a single Capability Development Document released early in the program. IT Box enables programs to tailor the incrementally fielded software program model in the DODI 5000.02 Interim to conduct multiple, more frequent fielding events in lieu of a single fielding event. Programs conduct a single Milestone B (MSB) decision by the Milestone Decision Authority that covers the entire program. MSB is followed by a series of supporting Build Decisions (BDs), delegated to Joint Project Manager Information Systems, associated with each RDP as they are released. The supporting BDs will ensure incorporation of mature technology and development efforts culminating in incremental deliveries of capability to Joint and Service Command and Control (C2) architectures. Instead of a single Milestone C decision and fielding event for one increment, the program will return to the MDA for more frequent fielding decisions, as often as annually, as portions of capability are determined suitable and operationally effective. These multiple fielding efforts are based on providing capabilities with the most value to the operators based on Warfighter priorities/needs, maturation of the technology being incorporated and available resources supporting the effort. 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 Software Support Activity (SSA) is a Chem-Bio Defense user developmental support and service organization to facilitate net-centric interoperability of systems in acquisition for the Warfighter. The SSA provides the CBRN Warfighter with Joint Service solutions for Integrated Architectures, Data Management/Modeling, Information Assurance (IA), Interoperability Certifications, Verification, Validation and Accreditation (VV&A) to support interoperable and integrated net-centric, service-oriented solutions for CBRN systems. The SSA emphasizes development of reference implementations to guide Government and industry system and software developers to ensure that their products meet common interoperability standards. The latest technologies/products include the definition of a Common CBRN Sensor Integration Standard (CCSI) and the CBRN Data Model. These technologies and direct enablers for the development of CBRN integrated sensor networks and the dissemination of CBRN information across all users. The SSA directly supports Chemical and Biological Defense Program (CBDP) initiatives by providing common service oriented architectures and frameworks for the collection and dissemination of Bio-Surveillance and other critical CBRN information.
