Acquisition Analysis for Joint Capability Requirements
Abstract
FY 2019 Accomplishments: -F35 Sustainment Study. The study summarized the current F35 sustainment strategy, impediments to achieving the future state sustainment strategy with its corresponding readiness and affordability goals, and a plan of action to achieve goals. -Mobile User Objective System (MUOS) Cyber Study. Narrow-Band Satellite Communications (SATCOM) and MUOS Enterprise Cyber Situational Awareness. Study leveraged best of breed technologies and best practice cyber situational awareness strategies for prevention and detection of cyber threat activity. Results intended to increase the cybersecurity posture of Internet Protocol based Military Satellite Communications systems. -Open Architecture Space Systems. Analysis/study evaluated the feasibility and cost effectiveness to create open systems and software architectures for space situational awareness, management, and command and control of space systems. -Constellation Management for Proliferated Low-Earth-Orbit (PLEO) Missions. Analyzed the long term acquisition and sustainment implications of PLEO constellations, analyzed Command and Control (C2) concepts/architectures for acquisition trade-offs and long term sustainability, and assessed survivability approaches to PLEO constellations. -Supply Chain Risk Mitigation. Analysis conducted for technical/engineering efforts to support software provenance and supply chain risk management to mitigate cybersecurity threats in Department of Defense (DoD) National Security systems and critical infrastructure from Information Technology (IT) products produced by potential adversaries. - Agile Community of Practice. Study supported piloting the implementation of best practices for Agile software development. It contributed efforts to complete agile pilots and develop policy, procedures, and best practices to facilitate DoD adaptation of Agile Software Piloting methodology. Anticipated Impact: Provides analytical support for acquisition efforts for ASD(A) staff elements and joint customers. It promotes analyses and assessments for acquisition insights and decisions focused on capability development serving the needs of joint forces and the warfighter.
