Data Sharing in a Net-Centric DoD • Moderator: Dr. Margaret Myers, Principal Director, Deputy CIO, Office of the DoD CIO • Panelists: • Michael E. Krieger, Director of Information Policy, Office of the DoD CIO • Col Bryan “B2” Bartels, USAF • Strike COI Pilot Working Group Co-lead, and • Chief, Global Strike Planning and Collaborative Systems Development, Joint Functional Component Command Global Strike Integration (JFCC GSI) • Maj Mark Schmidt, USAF • C2 Space Situational Awareness (SSA) COI Pilot Lead, and • Chief, Global C2 Acquisition Management, 850th Electronic Systems Group Connecting People With Information
Advertise Information Holdings (“Tag” Data) Visible User UNAWARE information exists • Web Enable Sources • Remove Impediments--“Need to Share” “#$^@!” Accessible User knows it exists, but CANNOT ACCESS IT User can accessinformation, butcannot exploit itdue to LACK OF UNDERSTANDING • Communities of Interest (COIs)--Shared Vocabularies Understandable Net-Centric Data Strategy Tenets(DoD Directive 8320.2) Data Strategy Implementation Approaches Current Information Sharing Challenges 2
Visible Accessible Data Sharing in a Net-Centric Department of Defense Understandable Communities of Interest • A collaborative group of people that must exchange information in pursuit of its shared goals, interests, missions, or business processes and therefore must have a shared vocabulary for the information it exchanges … DOD Directive 8320.2 Connecting People With Information
COI and COI-like Activities Showing Promise…. • Strike (includes coalition partners) — Enable accelerated strike planning by providing situational awareness information (blue, red, gray force) from now to 12 hours • Leading to DoD and IC universalcore for “when, where, what” • Global C2 data pilot — Enable improved decision-making by advertising and publishing data and services from existing systems to deliver joint net-centric C2 capabilities • C2 Space Situational Awareness (SSA) — Enable operational and tactical command and control with information on status of space-related systems (red, blue, gray) • Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) (includes Federal Partners) — Enable improved homeland security through maritime situational awareness …But More Successes are Needed to Motivate Delivery of Mission Capabilities through Improved Information Sharing Connecting People With Information
Constructing a universal core data schema that enables information sharing Ways to describe “when, where, what” Minimal set of terms in the core Agreed to by DoD and Intel Community Appropriate use of open and Federal standards Extensible by COIs and systems as needed Strike Spiral 1 pilot is based on initial C2 common core (e.g., Task/Mission) Incorporates universal core DoD Component and IC Member Extensions COI Extensions Log Common Core C2 Common Core ISR Common Core Universal Core EIE Common Core Business Common Core One Strike COI Outcome: DoD and IC Universal Core Data Schema Increased Data Interoperability 5

Lessons Learned So Far • Strong senior leadership needed to endorse COI activities • COIs inherently joint and PORs need to be motivated to help • Governance is needed to minimize unintended duplication and resolve conflicts • COIs can overlap; PORs contribute to multiple COIs • Technology is easy; culture and policy is hard • Policy and culture perpetuate stovepipes Opportunity to leverage as a vehicle to address Federal Data Interoperability and Information Sharing Connecting People With Information
