INFORMATION SYSTEMS (OP SYS DEV)

Abstract

This Project provides for the upgrade and modernization of fielded Information Systems. During this phase efforts will execute modernization, bug fixes, and provide support at fielded locations and maintain training and logistics support. Efforts included in this project are: (1) Chemical Biological Radiological and Nuclear Information Systems (CBRN IS) (2) Joint Effects Model 1 and 2 (JEM 1 and 2) (3) Joint Warning and Reporting Network 1 and 2 (JWARN 1 and 2) (4) Global Biosurveillance Portal (G-BSP) (5) Software Support Activity (SSA). CBRN IS will continue to modernize fielded capabilities throughout the lifecycle of the program to ensure compatibility with Service architectures, cloud-hosted environments, and system requirements, to include technical refresh of system hardware and software to maintain compatibility with new technologies and standards as well as cyber security and net centric policies. This will be integrated into a collaborative environment that allows users to collect and disseminate Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (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. G-BSP will continue to train warfighters in the use of G-BSP, modernize critical hardware, and ensure compatibility of fielded capabilities. 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 1 and 2 will continue to update fielded JEM 1 and JEM 2 software due to changing Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Special Operations Command (SOCOM), and National Guard Command and Control (C2) host architectures, systems, and standards in order to maintain interoperability and avert cyber threats and vulnerabilities to host C2 systems and perform test and evaluation of updated JEM 1 and JEM 2 baselines. 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 1 and 2 will continue engineering, development, and modernization efforts to upgrade existing, operational JWARN systems in order to maintain interoperability, efficiency and functionality within the targeted C2 systems and Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) milCloud CBRN IS enterprise site and conduct operational testing under utilizing the IT BOX construct and Agile Software development processes. Additionally, JWARN 1 and 2 will provide helpdesk and training support for fielded versions of JWARN 1 and 2 in all host environments. 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) 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. As software-intensive systems, JEM 2, JWARN 2, and G-BSP have no separately identifiable unit production components; 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 will continue to support programs in the Interoperability and Supportability (I&S) certification, Information Support Plan (ISP), and Data and Service Exposure Verification and Registration, provide and update program of record integrated architectures and provide Net-Centric Policy implementation Assistance; and continue to maintain proper Cybersecurity/Information Assurance (CS/IA) accreditation of any system within the CBDP portfolio. 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.
