Distributed Common Ground/Surface Systems
Abstract
JITC coordinates with the Military Services and Defense Intelligence Agencies to conduct DCGS FoS testing and analysis, including event coordination, configuration, and instrumentation through the Enterprise Integration and Test Capability (EITC). Under the guidance of the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security (OUSD(I&S)), this effort, referred to as the DCGS Test and Evaluation Focus Team (T&E FT), is composed of three parts: the EITC Focus Group, providing and sustaining enterprise-level T&E requirements analysis, instrumentation, and automation; the Strategy Focus Group, evaluating current and future net-enabled enterprise T&E methods and capabilities; and the Execution Focus Group, which leverages the other groups’ methodologies and tools in executing DCGS Enterprise assessment events, such as ENTERPRISE STORM (ES), the premier Defense Intelligence Enterprise demonstration series to promote interoperability and integration between the Military Services, Defense Intelligence Agencies, Five Eye Allies (FVEY) and Select Coalition Partners. These efforts improve systems engineering and T&E throughout all phases of the DCGS life-cycle, resulting in improved capabilities to share net-centric data and services among and between components of the DCGS FoS, the overarching DI2E, and Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) capabilities. The T&E FT engineers and operates the EITC, instrumenting and evaluating DI2E compliance with enterprise Service DCGS Net-Ready Key Performance Parameter elements, and joint needs. Develops testing concepts and strategies to determine compliance with emergent Global ISR Enterprise attributes, and applicable joint interoperability standards in operational or operationally representative environments. Provides a forum to advocate, coordinate, and synchronize use of existing Department of Defense and Service Test Facilities such as those available through the Test Resource Management Center to advance science, technology, modeling, and simulation technologies to improve Global ISR Enterprise test capabilities, capacity, and integration. The T&E FT supports ES demonstrations and evaluation of capabilities relying on the Defense Intelligence Agency’s CDF, the Joint Worldwide Intelligence Communications System, and the Battlefield Information Collection and Exploitation System to characterize the state of DI2E operations, ISR programs, and partner interoperability as they incorporate multi-domain Continuous Integration / Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) DevSecOps pipelines. Assesses capabilities that can effectively transition to operations within 6-12 months. Supports DCGS Enterprise-wide acquisitions that implement digital modernization strategies and evaluate DI2E integration with JADC2 initiatives.
