Distributed Common Ground/Surface Systems

Abstract

JITC coordinates with Military Services and Combat Support Agencies (CSA) to conduct DCGS FoS testing and analysis, including event coordination, configuration, and instrumentation through the operation of the Enterprise Integration and Test Capability (EITC). Under OUSD(I&S) guidance, the DCGS Test and Evaluation Focus Team (TEFT), is composed of three parts: •The EITC Focus Group, which provides and sustains DI2E T&E requirements analysis to enable instrumentation and automation for metrics collection. •The Strategy Focus Group, which is responsible for evaluating DI2E T&E methods and capabilities to meet modern software acquisition practices development, integration, and continuous delivery of capabilities. •The Execution Focus Group, which supports DI2E demonstration events, such as ENTERPRISE STORM, which is the Defense Intelligence Enterprise (DIE) demonstration series to promote interoperability and integration. Additionally, the DCGS TEFT: •Advocates, coordinates, and synchronizes with Services and CSAs for the use of existing DoD test facilities, such as the Test Resource Management Center (TRMC). This collaboration advances science, technology, modeling, and simulation to improve DI2E test capabilities, capacity, and integration. •Supports data collection activities on secret, top-secret, and Coalition and Partner networks to characterize the state of DI2E capabilities. •Teams with DCGS FoS, ISR, and Command and Control interoperability certifiers to advance data collection for legacy and modern acquisition practices. •Supports DI2E-wide acquisitions to advance digital transformation objectives and integrate with Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) initiatives. •Supports the ENTERPRISE STORM T&E. These efforts help close capability gaps, promote enterprise interoperability, and enable DCGS FoS integration. This enables improved data sharing between DI2E components, the overarching DIE, and JADC2 capabilities. •Supports demonstrations and evaluation of capabilities relying on the Defense Intelligence Agency’s data broker (known as the Common Data Fabric, or CDF). The CDF is an enterprise modernization initiative to enable automated machine-to-machine data transactions to increase the speed of delivery via one-to-many data sharing agreements.
