Abstract
The Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) Information Management Systems Project funds the Information Technology (IT), Information Assurance (IA) and telecommunications infrastructure of the Agency. The information management, cyber security, information assurance and telecommunications infrastructure is critical to the day-to-day functions of the MDA Director, MDA senior leaders and all MDA personnel to communicate (classified and unclassified) with each other, 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 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 information technology, cyber security, information assurance 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 information technology, cyber security, information assurance 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. This infrastructure is required to sustain access to the Secret Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPRNET), Non secure 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). These mission critical functions provide for the efficient operation and safeguarding of all agency information in locations supporting MDA around the world including Alabama, Alaska, California, Colorado, Hawaii, the National Capital Region, New Mexico, United Kingdom, Israel and Japan. This project funds information management/information technology operations for multiple systems in existing and new 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 several Information Technology (IT) mission critical functions. These mission critical functions provide for the efficient operation and safeguarding of Agency information in compliance with DoD policies and in keeping with the President`s declaration that ``cyber threat is one of the most serious economic and national security challenges we face as a nation``.

Support Costs for General IT Services reflects cost increases which are due to an internal realignment between the five major Support Cost Categories in this Project to reflect the current business model for General IT Services. MDA has realigned CIO IT Civilian Pay from Program Wide Support in FY 2012, as reflected in R-3 Section II Support Costs. The BMD Information Management Systems project MD30 includes the following five mission critical Information Technology (IT) functional efforts: -General IT Services The General IT Services mission critical function consists of IT support services required to operate and maintain the classified and unclassified IT infrastructure in the National Capital Region including the Aegis Program Office at Dahlgren, Virginia; several MDA locations in Huntsville, Alabama region; the Colorado Springs, Colorado region; Edwards Air Force Base, California; Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico; Edwards Air Force Base, California; MDA`s enclave at Ft Greely and Elmendorf AFB, Alaska. This includes IT operations and maintenance, help desk services and hardware maintenance and software licensing 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 (IAVAs) issued by the U.S. Cyber Command. This mission critical function also funds planning, programming, budget and execution support and Federal and DoD IT compliance reporting. The funding supports operations and maintenance of new facilities in Huntsville, Alabama; Dahlgren, Virginia; and Fort Belvoir, Virginia. This function provides the infrastructure necessary for planning and coordination of the Director`s RDT&E, operation and maintenance, and upgrade initiatives for the Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS). -Knowledge and Information Management In accordance with the Clinger Cohen Act and DoD directives, this mission critical function provides for the licensing and sustainment of DoD approved enterprise information applications. This function 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 Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) Asset Management System, Decision Support System (DSS), 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 Employee Development Center, the Program Resource Internet Database Environment (PRIDE), and the MDA Standard Procurement System (SPS). This function 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. This function provides the infrastructure necessary for planning and coordination of the Director`s RDT&E, operations and maintenance, and upgrade initiatives for the Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS). -Unified Communications The Unified Communications mission critical function supports leased communications (classified and unclassified wide area networks, metropolitan area networks, and local area networks), telecommunications (local and long distance telephone services and secure and non secure mobile and desktop telephony devices), management, engineering, systems integration, operations, maintenance and technical support services.
