The Army Technical Reference Model (TRM) is a fundamental component of the Army Enterprise Architecture suite of reference models. This paper describes the TRM, how it facilitates enterprise architecture integration and system interoperability, how it maps to other key DoD architecture models, and its value to the acquisition community. It describes how it supports Program Managers for efficiently...
In February 2006, the Department of Defense (DoD) Chief Information Officer (CIO) issued a memorandum with the subject heading, ??Department of Defense Policy for Transmission of Internet Protocol Over DoD-Leased and DoD-Owned Transponded Satellite Communications Systems?? explaining the need to provide a single solution that supports direct interoperability between users, maximizes bandwidth-on-demand...
To support research in wireless mobile ad hoc networks, the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) and Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) have worked jointly to establish an advanced emulation environment. A key component is a mobile ad-hoc network emulation testbed where algorithms and applications can be subjected to representative wireless network conditions. The testbed is based on a version of the...
The Department of Defense (DoD) is making strides toward Network Centric Warfare. In modern warfare, information superiority and situational awareness is vital to superiority on the battlefield. That is, whoever can pass relevant information between war fighters in a more timely and efficient manner is more likely to succeed. Therefore, the concept of communication planning for DoD missions should...
Bluetooth is one of the most widely available wireless technologies with over 2 billion Bluetooth-enabled devices shipped. Used by cell phones, laptops, gaming consoles and many other devices, it is the predominant wireless personal area networking technology. Over the last couple of years, US Government Departments including the Department of Defense (DoD) have begun to embrace Bluetooth due to its...
Leveraging the Defense Information Systems Agency's (DISA) experience on the Tactical Services Provider (TSP) Joint Capability Technology Demonstration (JCTD), this paper analyzes the security weaknesses and vulnerabilities of mobile Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) in the TSP architecture and explains DISA's approach to deploying an integrated, multi-layer Information Assurance...
The challenges of building a Secure Information Sharing Environment are based on increased need to share data across agencies and security domains. The need has grown to also include sharing secure data with allied and coalition forces while protecting specific key parts of the information due to legal and ethical issues. There is an increasing need to automate the process where data is sanitized...
With last year's activation of US African Command (AFRICOM), the United States will now address its security concerns for that turbulent continent with operations realigned under one command instead of three. Information operations will necessarily dominate the Department of Defense's activities in Africa - genocide, poverty, famine, epidemic and civil war are rarely if ever amenable to solution by...
This paper presents the main results of the systems development and integration activities performed by the MIDS nations (US, France, Italy, Spain and Germany), with the support of the MIDS international program office (IPO), in order to effectively integrate the MIDS low volume terminal (LVT) into air, ground and sea platforms. Particular emphasis is devoted to the experimental work performed in...
With the continued evolution of technology in support of the overseas contingency operations (OCO), the need for effective situational awareness (SA) and efficient command & control (C2) becomes increasingly important for successful mission planning, management, and execution. The digital video broadcast - return channel satellite (DVB-RCS) NetOps vision for remote management and monitoring aims...
The increased complexity of new missions require the migration from developing a system that meets all the required capabilities into the development of a system of systems (SoS) that is composed of multiple independent systems that work together to achieve the stated goals. This trend is common to DoD, financial, healthcare, state and local agencies. The problems faced here are different in complexity...
The net-centric vision for the global information grid (GIG) includes evolution toward Internet protocol (IP) based services. IP service profiles and in-service traffic flows in support of Warfighters in evolving deployments are highly variable, with end-to-end (E2E) flows typically spanning both terrestrial and satellite communications (SATCOM) networks. Communications planning, management and control...
