BMD Information Management Systems

Abstract

The BMD Information Management Systems budget project funds information technology mission critical functions necessary for the efficient operations and safeguarding of BMD information in compliance with DoD policies and in keeping with the President's declaration on 29 May 2009, "cyber threat is one of the most serious economic and national security challenges we face as a nation". IT is critical to the day-to-day functions of MDA personnel to communicate (classified and unclassified) with each other, Congress, senior DoD and other U.S. government agency personnel, Combatant Commander's, NATO partners, and other industry partners. Communication among these organizations facilitates the MDA mission of developing and fielding an integrated BMDS to defend the United States, our deployed forces, allies, and friends against all ranges of enemy ballistic missiles in all phases of flight. MDA information management systems capabilities support rigorous missile defense Research, Development, Test and Engineering (RDT&E) and facilitate the development of technologies to guard against evolving missile threat. 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 BMD information management consists of MDA Special Purpose Processing Nodes (SPPNs), IT 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. Project MD30 was realigned into the following inter-agency mission critical IT services and the associated plans to align with the Federal Information Technology Shared Services Strategy. 1. End User Support 2. Special Purpose Processing Nodes (SPPNs) 3. IT Planning and Solutions 4. Unified Communications 5. Portal and Data Services 6. Business Automation Services
