Transnational Information Sharing - Cooperation (TISC)
Abstract
The Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) validated the capability need for TISC in FY 2008. The outcome of TISC is to provide software tools for a non-classified portal for collaboration, planning and assessment by external partners and interagency organizations. The TISC capability will allow disadvantaged users to use the portal at low or no cost and accessibility will be possible in austere and minimal network infrastructure environments. This capability will provide collaborative chat, identity management, translation and multi-lingual text chat and Web 2.0 social networking tools. Outputs and efficiencies will include improved planning and response to theater security cooperation challenges and stability and reconstruction operations. Technologies demonstrated will reduce the time and increase the effectiveness of disaster relief, humanitarian assistance and stability operations where DoD, interagency, non-governmental organizations, international organizations, coalition nations and other first responders need to cooperatively act, plan and assess courses of action. The TISC initial demonstration occurred in the 2008 Coalition Warrior Interoperability Demonstration events held at multiple locations. USEUCOM and USSOUTHCOM serve as sponsors and COCOM representatives to determine operational requirements, demonstrations, assessment and operational concepts. Requirements and operational assessment will include external partners outside of DoD in the TISC community of interest. The TISC capability (operational concepts, tactics and procedures) will transition to the Theater Security Cooperation community, while the sustainment of the information sharing portal will become the responsibility of DISA using a fee for service model. The lead COCOM responsibilities are jointly shared between the US Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) and the US European Command (EUCOM) and the lead agency is the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA). TISC is a multi-year JCTD that will conclude in 2011.
