BMD Information Management Systems
Abstract
The Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) Information Management Systems Project funds the Information Technology (IT) and telecommunications infrastructure of the Agency. The IT and telecommunications infrastructure is critical to the day-to-day functions of the MDA Director and MDA senior leaders to communicate (classified and unclassified) with Congress, senior DoD and other U.S. government agency personnel, Combatant Commanders, North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) partners, and other industry partners. Communication among these organizations facilitates the MDA mission to continue as one of developing and fielding an integrated Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) to defend the United States, our deployed forces, allies and friends against all ranges of enemy ballistic missiles in all phases of flight. The MDA IT infrastructure and telecommunication capabilities support rigorous missile defense testing and facilitates the development of technologies to hedge against future missile threat growth. Communications are vital for missile defense to continue a viable homeland defense against rogue threats and to provide the integration required to defend deployed forces, allies, and friends against theater threats. The IT and telecommunications infrastructure consists of MDA secure information technology systems, data centers, operations and monitoring centers which are vital to support the strategic mission of the Agency and necessary to meet disaster recovery and continuity of operations requirements. The IT and telecommunications infrastructure is required to sustain access to the Secret Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPRNET), Nonsecure Internet Protocol Router Network (NIPRNET), MDA classified and unclassified networks, classified and unclassified video teleconferencing services, test and business knowledge data centers, the Defense Research Engineering Network (DREN), and the Joint Worldwide Intelligence Communication System (JWICS). JWICS is essential to the MDA to obtain and provide intelligence data used to feed the Command, Control, Battle Management and Communication project, the Countermeasures/Counter-Countermeasures projects, and Modeling and Simulation projects. The above initiatives will provide for the efficient operation and safeguarding of all agency information. This project also funds Information Management/Information Technology operations for multiple systems in existing as well as facilities at Dahlgren, Virginia and during the MDA transition to Huntsville, Alabama and Alexandria, Virginia. To support the Director`s intent to significantly improve all layers of our Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS), this project funds IT initiatives that include: Operational support to provide critical day-to-day quality of service IT support to the Agency mission Information Technology enterprise architecture that is compliant with DoD and Federally mandated standards for the business and mission support activities of the MDA Business Transformation Agency efforts to provide DoD approved solutions for information sharing, electronic records management, financial management, and decision support systems to achieve more effective, efficient and secure business and mission support activities throughout MDA Knowledge center integration and universal access for information sharing capabilities Consolidated information technology infrastructure in support of information technology line of business goals/objectives Information assurance controls and computer network defense of MDA networks infrastructure for disaster recovery and continuity of operations capabilities Certification and accreditation processes that support the BMDS, test assets, and administrative support networks Information technology policies, guidance, planning, oversight, and monitoring to ensure continued compliance with DoD mandated initiatives, statutes, regulations, directives, and policies The BMD Information Management Systems project MD30 includes the following IT initiatives: General IT Services This initiative consists of IT support services required to operate and maintain the classified and unclassified local area networks in the National Capital Region including the Aegis Program Office at Dahlgren, Virginia; the Huntsville, Alabama region; the Colorado Springs, Colorado region; Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico and Edwards Air Force Base, California. This includes operations and maintenance of hardware, software, and help desk services in support of BMDS mission, research and test efforts as well as MDA business processes. Funding also supports coordination with the MDA Enterprise Network Operations Security Center (ENOSC) to implement Information Assurance Vulnerability Assessments (IAVA) issued by the Joint Task Force-Global Network Operations (JTF-GNO). This initiative also funds planning, programming, budget and execution support and Federal and DoD IT compliance reporting. The higher funding in FY 2011 supports new facilities activation in Huntsville, Alabama; Dahlgren, Virginia; and Fort Belvoir, Virginia. Knowledge and Information Management In accordance with the Clinger Cohen Act and DoD directives, this initiative provides for the licensing and sustainment of DoD approved enterprise information applications. This also provides management and storage of both the unclassified and classified MDA data to share information and knowledge throughout the Missile Defense community. Examples of DoD mandated and mission essential applications include BMD Asset Management System, BMDS Integrated Master Schedule, Electronic Records Management System, Electronic Tasking (E-Tasker), Integrated Acquisition Environment, data management tool, financial management tools, personnel tracking system, MDA Identify and Management Infrastructure application, Computer-Aided Facilities Management, the MDA Corporate University Enterprise (web-based learning management system), the Program Resource Internet Database Environment (PRIDE), and the MDA Standard Procurement System (SPS). This initiative also supports the operations and maintenance of the Visual Information Production Centers, state of-the-art, high capacity graphic and video production services for senior leadership and agency employees. Unified Communications This initiative supports leased communications, telecommunications, management, engineering, systems integration, operations, maintenance and technical support services. These services are provided at MDA locations including the National Capital Region; Huntsville, Alabama; Colorado Springs, Colorado and interceptor sites at Fort Greely, Alaska, Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico and Vandenberg Air Force Base, California. This includes classified and unclassified voice and data circuits, access to the Joint Worldwide Intelligence Communications System (JWICS), video teleconferencing and sustainment of Video Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) capability to enhance resolution and reduce per-minute unit costs. Circuits and associated services are provided by the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) as well as the Defense Research and Engineering Network (DREN). These circuits provide access to over 80 government and industry partner locations to enable information sharing of BMD-related data throughout the global MDA Enterprise. Information Assurance This initiative supports the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) and is a key priority of the MDA Director. This vital program of the BMDS and MDA Enterprise consists of information assurance, computer network defense, network situational awareness, and certification and accreditation activities to comply with DoD information assurance directives, instructions and guidelines. Additionally, the information assurance program integrates human capital management initiatives to sustain and improve the continuity of workforce operations by providing information assurance workforce training and certification. The information assurance program provides system security engineering, development, and testing to ensure that command, control, communications, and computing systems are protected against malicious or accidental attacks and supports the transfer of missile defense capabilities between MDA and the Services. The MDA information assurance program provides the network security operations center and supporting processes to protect and defend MDA knowledge stores and information systems against cyber warfare. The MDA Enterprise Network Operations Security Center manages network situational awareness and status reporting. The MDA Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) coordinates with the Joint Task Force-Global Network Operations (JTF-GNO) to identify and implement network vulnerability updates. This ensures the availability, integrity, authentication, confidentiality and non-repudiation of the MDA mission, test and administrative systems. IT Consumables/Sustainment Engineering This initiative provides project planning, engineering efforts, and IT consumables and equipment to sustain a quality of service for MDA general IT services and business systems to ensure compliance with Federal and DoD enterprise standards. Planning efforts ensure that the policies and budget are in place to support the BMDS mission and to comply with statutory and DoD policies including: Clinger-Cohen Act, the Federal Information Security Management Act, and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) IT budget reporting policies. Engineering efforts are essential to ensure the continuity of IT services necessary for the design, development, modeling, and testing of the BMDS. IT consumables consists of critical equipment sparing and test equipment necessary to sustain the general IT services to facilitate critical repairs within a 24 hour period. IT consumables also consist of items that require periodic replacement such as toner, keyboards, monitors, cabling, etc.
