Horizontal Fusion “C atalyst for net-centric transformation”

Horizontal Fusion focuses on cross-functional data sharing and use, with a focus on making sense of that data. It enables the exchange of services and effective collaboration between systems, units, and forces. This concept aims to provide operators with real-time situational awareness and improved access to intelligence and other data sources.

  1. HORIZONTAL FUSION Horizontal Fusion“Catalyst for net-centric transformation” Marian T. Cherry HF Portfolio Manager OASD/NII 703-607-0234 marian.cherry@osd.mil

  2. Horizontal Fusion is net-centric with (1) a focus on data - cross functional posting and use, Ad Hoc access to and fusion of data that is created by operations processes which are integrated and federated and (2) a focus on making sense of that data Federated Operations Integrated Operations Enterprise Value mostly derives from loosely coupled functional processes, some operating in a “just in time” manner. Cross functional contributions or contributions from multiple Communities of Interest (COI) to enterprise value are substantial. Enterprise Value derives from processes that must be executed against tight timelines with high assurance. Processes may be either functional or cross functional but generallyexecute within a well defined Community Of Interest (COI). Fusion Interoperability The merging of different elements into a union “The ability of systems, units, or forces to exchange services and…operated effectively together.” --Joint Publication 1-02 What Does Horizontal Fusion Mean?

  3. Horizontal Fusion Objectives Proof of Concept with a twist: • Computing power as far to the physical edge as • possible • Only handle the information once • Real-time Collaboration • TPPU – POST/Publish to the GIG. Populate the • space with new and dynamic sources of information • Everyone is a consumer and producer of information • Bi-lateral sharing of intelligence and S&R data. • Operational-Intelligence data interoperability • Exploit diverse data sources with sense-making tools Implement the GIG architecture ASAP! Operational leave behind capability

  7. Horizontal Fusion is managed as a PORTFOLIO Portfolio Strategy Portfolio Approach Identify high value initiatives • Criteria for selection: fit, impact and balance • Manage across material and non-material risk • Manage across applicable Net-Centric objectives • Govern objectively to achieve tangible outcomes • Research and Development effort Proof-of-Concept Demonstrations each August • Make a shift from system to enterprise thinking in development • Overcome traditional isolation, disconnects duplications and gaps among capabilities Portfolio Objectives • Provide operators on the edge with the applications and data access to effectively achieve situational awareness without latency • Provide improved applications and access to collateral IS&R and other data to support intelligence analysts capabilities against difficult targets

  8. What Does Horizontal Fusion Provide the Department? • Achieves rapid insertion of Net-Centricity across the Department • Provides seed money to literally leap-frog Net-Centricity capability right into operational baseline • Leverages legacy investments while influencing future investments - Modify or amplify (vs. replace) existing programs or processes CATALYST FOR NET-CENTRIC TRANSFORMATION

  9. An annual demonstration of the current state of implementation of net-centric warfighting and operations addressing: Technology Policy Culture QL-2 scheduled for 11 August 2004

  10. Quantum Leap – 1 After Action Report/ FY04 direction • Net-Centric Warfighting and Operations is DOABLE!!!! • Security and security policy • certification and accreditation process • PKI – DoD vs. IC • Information protection – internal and external • coalition and allies • Bandwidth, Bandwidth, Bandwidth!!!!!!!! • C4ISR Architecture Framework • Current approach inconsistent • with NC Operations (ie., SV-6) • Standards and CM • a fine line between Saturday night • and Sunday morning • Private Industry state of the practice and • DoD strategy and instruction • Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures • Train as you fight • Information as an asset 04: Cross-domain information sharing 04: GIG BE must be implemented Secure Wireless communications 04: Recommend modifications to managing office 04: Continue to refine and evolve how we draw the line between creativity and discipline 04: Engage JFCOM and training and doctrine organizations
