GIG Systems Engineering and Support
Abstract
The DISA Chief Technology Officer (CTO) provides the venue for technology assessment and insertion in DISA (and DoD) that will result in more efficient and effective technology investments and ultimately improved global, net-centric operations. CTO core engineering and technical support of the DISA programs implementing the GIG involves technical research and analysis of state-of-the-art and emerging technologies, security, architectures, and application frameworks. This involves the identification and recommendation of innovative engineering techniques, technologies and products that are critical to the DISA in its role of instantiating the GIG architecture; the support of information exchanges with the Services, OSD, the COCOMS, and the Joint Staff to identify opportunities, issues, and solutions to improve the DISA products; and, facilitation and harmonization of cross-corporate programs relative to the DISA programs and the GIG. This program provides direct support to Military Services, COCOMS, OSD, and the Joint Staff as well as the DoD business and acquisition communities and the Intelligence Community. The end result is more efficient and effective technology investments and ultimately improved global, net-centric operations which are delivered via GIG products, services, and capabilities to the Military Services, COCOMS, OSD, and the Joint Staff as well as the DoD business and acquisition communities and the IC. Demand-Assigned Multiple Access Compatible (DAMA-C) is an essential capability supporting combat search and rescue missions, and other safety-of-life operations. The DAMA-C program will provide significantly improved sharing of legacy Ultra High Frequency satellite resources for tens of thousands of disadvantaged user terminals, mainly handhelds deployed as survival radios, or as support to Special Operations Forces. DAMA-C will operate within existing DAMA systems using legacy UHF Satellite Communications; DAMA provides better access to legacy UHF SATCOM by allowing sharing of channels, but handheld radios do not have the power or security features needed to enter current DAMA systems. DAMA-C creates subsystems within DAMA for handhelds. Development of a DAMA-C standard and infrastructure for IOC will cost $11.7 million, including assessment and/or certification by both JITC and NSA, and including commencement of fielding. FY 2010 ($7.7 million) funding will support completion of engineering and development of the DAMA-C Military Standard specification; and for design, hardware fabrication and software generation for the DAMA-C controller infrastructure and terminals for IOC. FY 2011 ($4 million) funding will support completion of IOC development, assessment/certification, fielding of infrastructure.
