Net-Centric Enterprise Services (NCES)
Abstract
The Department of Defense (DoD) is transforming the way it conducts warfare, business operations, and enterprise management by embracing the concept of “Net-Centricity.” Net-Centricity is the realization of a robust, globally interconnected, network environment (including infrastructure, systems, processes, and people). In this environment, data is shared in a timely and seamless way among users, applications, and platforms. This improved knowledge management during all phases of warfighting efforts enables substantially improved situational awareness and significantly shortened decision-making cycles. Net-Centric Enterprise Services (NCES) provides the enterprise level services that enable communities of interest (COI) and mission applications to make their data and services visible, accessible, and understandable by exposing data sources, web-service enabling, and registering of reusable services. The Program Executive Office Global Information Grid Enterprise Services (PEO-GES) is transitioning and enhancing the Strategic Knowledge Integration Web (SKIWeb). SKIWeb is a strategic decision support tool designed to improve situational awareness for Department of Defense (DoD) and strategic Allied users, from local operations at the United States Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM) to an enterprise service supporting all COCOMS at the Defense Enterprise Computing Centers (DECCs). To support the operational needs of the NCES customers in the joint warfighting force and the supporting business domains, NCES services are adaptive, scalable, available, reliable, easily accessible, and responsive. The suite of NCES services allow users and automated information systems to discover, post, and access relevant information, and collaborate in a more effective manner. NCES will include effective security services that protect critical information and sources from unauthorized use or access, and that are adaptive to the user’s information management policy. The NCES Warfighter Concept of Operations clearly describes how NCES capabilities should be applied by U.S. Forces, Coalition forces, and Allies to produce Net-Centricity and support full spectrum joint and expeditionary campaign operations. NCES supports these missions by: exposing critical information sources so that data can be discoverable and quickly recovered by users no matter where they are located or when they need the information; allowing authorized users to include unanticipated mission and coalition partners in collaborative sessions; and, continuously evolving the delivered services to support mission changes and feedback from its users and stakeholders. The services delivered by NCES along with the PEO-GES initiatives are also a key enabler supporting the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) mission of providing an enterprise infrastructure to continuously operate and assure a global net-centric enterprise in direct support to the joint warfighter, National level leaders, and other mission and coalition partners across the full spectrum of operations. Further, it enables the DoD Net-Centric Services Strategy (NCSS) vision of an environment that increasingly leverages shared services and Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). The benefits that the NCES customers receive include: •Enhanced collaborative decision-making processes that are supported by the Collaboration, Content Discovery and Delivery, Metadata Discovery, User Access (Portal), Mediation, and People Discovery services. •Content Discovery and Delivery, Service Discovery, Enterprise Service Management, and Metadata Discovery services provide the capability to share and exchange knowledge and services between units and commands at all levels (interagency and multinational partners), improves coordinated maneuver, and integrates situational awareness. •Machine-to-Machine Messaging, Content Discovery and Delivery, Collaboration, and People Discovery supports knowledge exchange to enable the decision-maker to understand the situation, determine the effects desired, select a course of action and the forces to execute it, and accurately assess the effects of that action. •Collaboration, Content Discovery and Delivery, User Access (Portal) and Service Oriented Architecture Foundation services combined improve the ability of our decision-makers to effectively operate inside the decision loop of even the most capable adversary.
