GIG Systems Engineering and Support

Abstract

The Chief Technology Officer (CTO) supports efforts that will strengthen the delivery of critical Global Information Grid (GIG) products, services, and capabilities to the warfighter through the establishment of DISA Technology Management Framework which provides analysis, strategies, and roadmaps, as well as technology development and insertion into DISA programs of record while also influencing Service/Agency program technology investments. As the Science and Technology arm of DISA, CTO projects are critical to providing 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. •Capability 1 supports end-to-end reviews of all solutions, programs, and services to ensure all are consistent with GIG architecture and standards. These projects provide direct support to 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 Services, COCOMS, OSD, and the Joint Staff as well as the DoD business and acquisition communities and the intelligence community. •Capability 2 supports various aspects of evolving the GIG, including developing enterprise system architecture constructs for the GIG and components, providing engineering guidance for component evolution, including incorporation of new technology from industry. 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. The other mission in this exhibit is performing classified work. All aspects of this project are classified and require special access. Detailed information on this project is not contained in this document, but is available to individuals having special access to program details.
