Globalization – Community Issue

• Complexities of globalization – Resources and infrastructure required to manage and maintain

– Foreign disclosure

– COI information separation

• Current architecture and supporting requirements are currently being piece-mealed vice having a global perspective.

Limited interoperability frustrates our ability to share information with mission partners

• Organizing/integrating construct for IT, NSS, and IT Resource Management

• Includes the connected people, processes, and equipment to support DoD and Warfighter mission

• All DoD Components are entities within this environment not pieces, parts, connective tissue or backbone but entities

• DoD Components must exercise authorities and processes to ensure that this environment is:

Proposed Capability Delivery Phases

Strategic Information Sharing ChallengesMilitary – Civilian Mission Integration

• Coalition Policy / Governance– Enabling a Military-Civilian netcentric environment (coordinate JCCSE

Initiative, DoD ISE, PM ISE, DHS HSIN initiatives)– Ensure mission information sharing environment is fully validated

from “end to end” and adjust policies as necessary to enable agile coalition environment

– Interagency coordination around capability management, leveraging capabilities (e.g., FEMA State Interop Initiative or JIEE use by USNORTHCOM)

• Operational Issues– Interagency Information Management (DHS, DOD, NGB) Planning

Underway and Draft IM Plan developed– Exercise the IM Plan / Information Sharing Environment and provide

feedback to improve IM and synchronize mission essential processes– Operation Control Group (OCG) as interagency group supporting IM

evolution

Strategic Information Sharing ChallengesMilitary – Civilian Mission Integration

• Developing an HLD/DSCA “Enterprise” Architecture– State and Federal Information Sharing infrastructure to enable

interoperability– Coordinate network / IA policies and provisioning of capabilities

to support mission integration

We have made great advancements…

but we have not reached the end-state…yet.

Centrally managed and funded, redundant, GIG-centric, protected, endurable, survivable system of systems which enables optimal Multinational Information Sharing and cross domain execution, providing enterprise secure access to the edge.

….and World Peace

What I REALLY need is a ….

BG Mark BowmanUS Central Command (J-6)Director, Command, Control, Communications and Computer (C-4)Systems

“It takes a Network to defeat a Network”

Challenge

• Current multinational information exchange frameworks are cumbersome for the user and increasingly unsupportable for the maintainer

• Why?– Current policy requires physically separated networks for

each community of interest (COI) and classification domain

– Information exchange between these multiple networks induces the requirement for multiple Cross Domain Solutions (CDS)

Impact of Multiple Networks

Information Sharing Architect

• DoD needs a dedicated Information Sharing Architect– The UCDMO construct for information protection is a good

start, however….

– A similar organization is required to develop key multinational information exchange requirements and operational architectures• Establish best-of-breed process to “down select” from existing

solutions (close fight)

• Determine which capabilities are ready for programmatic insertion (near term fight)

• Identify capability gaps for the science and technology community to research (deep fight)

Then …December 2004

• DISA assume lead for CENTRIXS

• Began centralizing PACOM and CENTCOM CENTRIXS and Global Griffin

Shifting From Regional to Enterprise FocusShifting From Regional to Enterprise Focus

Now …Since September 2006• Griffin develops new services to support allied operations

– Bi-Lateral CHAT / Web Services• CENTRIXS remains regionally focused, but…

– Re-Engineering the larger CENTRIXS networks – Transitioning additional CENTCOM, PACOM and National Enclave services – Mapping regional CENTRIXS networks for the first time– QDR footprint Expansion in five COCOM AORs

Next …not your current MNIS PMO• MNIS Objective Capability AoA kick-off September 2007
