Joint Systems Integration
Abstract
In support of the Chairman’s responsibility for the assessment of the capability and adequacy of United States forces to successfully execute the national military strategy the Joint Systems Integration (JSI) Program Element provides mission funding for the Joint Staff J6 C4 Assessments Division (C4AD). C4AD conducts interoperability assessments and develops solutions/recommendations to improve integration of Service, Defense Agency, and coalition systems. C4AD's Persistent Command and Control Environment replicates an operational environment and provides Combatant Commands, Services, Agencies and Coalition partners at the joint force headquarters level, a laboratory and assessment venue for the warfighter and capability developer to identify and solve interoperability and integration issues with current and near-term joint and coalition capabilities. With this capability, C4AD assesses system of systems interoperability, operational capability, procedural compliance and technical suitability of emerging and existing systems and programs to confirm readiness for deployment. By establishing ground truth for interoperability and suggesting remedies for demonstrated shortfalls, C4AD is an enabler for the Chairman’s priorities to: pioneer new ways to combine and employ emergent capabilities, drive Jointness deeper, sooner in capability development, move quickly toward Joint information and simulation networks that support secure and agile command and control, expand the envelope of interagency and international cooperation, and promote multilateral security approaches and architectures. In FY 2016, this legacy USJFCOM PE will be consolidated along with PE 0604828J (JFIIT) and PE 0607828J (JII) into a single new Joint Staff PE 0604826J – Joint Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Cyber Integration (JC5I). In FY2016 this program element will be consolidated with PE 0604826J - Joint C5 (Joint Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Cyber) Capability Development, Integration, and Interoperability Assessments.
