  18. The CIS Reality • 20 mins to open a 2 Mb ppt file at subordinate HQs • Timesharing on User Terminals • Map overlays sent as powerpoint slides • C2 coordinated through e-mails, telephone calls and conferences • Staff dedicated to transferring data between various network domains • No IM discipline - Network servers at full capacity ISAF JOC May 06

  19. ISAF IX Approach to CIS • Create a digitised C2 environment • Improve quality, capacity and resilience of the networks • Mitigate risk wherever possible and actively drive NATO CIS projects • Establish a single C2 system before ISAF X • Exploit opportunities to use AFG capabilities • Guarantee ISAF IX success through deployment of UK resources to close NATO CIS capability gaps

  20. Information Management • Imposed HQ ARRC Electronic Working Practices as the IM model • Influenced HQ ISAF, but not the subordinate HQs • Underestimated: • Requirement for common IM protocols • Training and Education burden • System management burden • Scale of the task!

Ground Truth?

  29. Thoughts • Get the communications network infrastructure right • Initial investment is critical • Capacity and Volume are the pre-requisites • Apply network interoperability standards • Accept (but understand better) the reality of the hierarchical, multi-node, multi-system, multi-network environment • Existing C2IS/COTS applications can produce significant NEC capability • Procurement and integration procedures must be sufficiently agile to exploit technical opportunities and keep pace with operational requirements. • Cross Line of Development approach is essential – especially “Training and People”. Converts equipment into sustainable capability • The human dimension remains paramount
