Integrated Information Management System (IIMS) Transition (Air Force)
Abstract
The IIMS is a collaborative situational awareness tool which aids in the management of conventional and Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) events at fixed, expeditionary and incident response sites. IIMS includes detector/ warning networks, access to CBRN models, and information exchange with civil sector and coalition partner organizations. IIMS is one of the applications in the Air Force Theater Battle Management Core System – Unit Level/Unit Command and Control (TBMCS-UL/UC2) and integrated with TBMCS-UL/UC2 through web services. IIMS is also a Command and Control (C2) framework used to conduct joint service Research and Development (R&D) into challenges associated with C2, Information Management, Information Exploitation, Data Fusion and Cyber Defense. The objective of this project is to complete and extend the transition of IIMS into TBMCS-UL/UC2 Increment Two, and to fully transition IIMS into the final TBMCS-UC2 Increment One. The additional IIMS capabilities will augment the fielded TBMC-UL/UC2 to extend original capabilities, provide a stand-alone capability, and to incorporate joint CBRN tools. A successful transition of IIMS to TBMCS-UC2 through this spiral development process will significantly increase the capabilities available to the warfighter. Outputs and efficiencies: The transition of IIMS into the TBMCS-UC2 N-tier Service Oriented Architecture; transition of new capabilities into TBMCS-UC2 through the IIMS framework; the adjudication of any Priority I or Priority II software trouble reports at the time of transition; the software will adhere to general quality and reliability standards and include standard software product sets upon delivery (i.e. source code, executable code, documentation, test results); documentation including complete instructions for developers to create a development environment and build components within the framework; a successful test and demonstration in an operationally relevant environment such as a TBMCS-UL/UC2 site, the Port of Ash Shuaybah in Kuwait or the Statue of Liberty National Monument; evaluation by the Air Force 46th Test Squadron for Developmental Test (DT), Functional Test (FT) and Information Assurance (IA) testing resulting in a favorable Authority to Connect (ATO) recommendation; and a Signed Authority to Connect (ATO) for TBMCS-UC2 with IIMS for DoD networks. TTI funding accelerates the availability of this capability by a minimum of one year. This project is funded in FY 2010 via the Quick Reaction Special projects program element.
