  2. Overview • Management Objectives • Current Status • Major Accomplishments • On-going Efforts • Future Efforts • NCTDESC COI Participation

  3. Management Objectives • Synchronize activities of member COIs with C2 Portfolio objectives • Identify and address most pressing C2 data interoperability needs as they relate to the warfighting standards • Facilitate implementation and reuse of COI products • Extensible implementation of data strategy initiatives within C2 Portfolio as they relate to the warfighting standards • Improve efficiency by leveraging capabilities and resources between member COIs • Minimize duplication of effort, resolve conflicts among member COIs and warfighting standards • Promote cross-COI interaction at the data level to minimize requirement for translation between C2 COIs where appropriate

  4. Current Status • Re-Establishment of Authority to Operate • NCTDESC website: https://gesportal.dod.mil/sites/NCTDESC/web/index.html • Mapping DDMS and IC ISM common core elements in USMTFs, IBS, VMS, TDLs, and Symbology and the 10 member COIs. • -Identify core elements to support implementation of efficient objective gateways among tactical edge users while influencing the COIs by providing current data requirements

  5. Accomplishments • Established as Technical arm of JC2 Capability Portfolio Managers • To perform as technical arm of the Warfighting Mission Area COI • Performing as Principal Coordinating Authority across current joint and allied warfighting standards (e.g., promoting XML transformation of tactical edge standards) • Completed mapping of DDMS and IC ISM common core elements in USMTFs, IBS, VMS, TDLs, and Symbology

  6. On-going Efforts • Coordination and concurrence of content of memo • Being developed for staffing through Joint Staff and OSD NII. • Representation in Warfighting Mission Area COI chaired by Joint Staff • Representation in Joint Command and Control Capabilities Portfolio Management • Completion of mapping DDMS and IC ISM common core elements in member COIs.

  7. Future Efforts • Designated as the Joint Symbology Adjudicator from JC2 Capabilities Portfolio Manager tasking • Review issues and actions to align MIL-STD-2525 with STANAG 2019, ED 4 (APP-6) • To reduce the numbers of syntaxes for location in U.S. warfighting standards -COIs definitions and requirements ( e.g., STRIKE COI) will be used in the evaluation process for identification of the syntax • Cooperative development of a tactical data standards convergence strategy for COI common taxonomies • Development of UML models of the overall relationships of the information objects to be used for portraying a given information exchange vocabulary requirement • Mediation and Subscription services as required to support seamless tactical edge interoperability

  8. NCTDESC COI Participation • Integrated Air and Missile Defense COI • METOC COI • Installation Management COI • Joint Electronic Warfare Data Standardization COI • CBRN COI • Blue Force Tracking COI • Missile Defense Agency COI • Air Force COI Coordination Panel • Time Sensitive Targeting COI • USMTF COI • TDL COI • Symbology COI

  9. VMF Migration Status • XML-ISWG is working TDL-XML issues to align TDL efforts with NATO XML tagging and naming specifications • Validation of existing VMF-XML tagging was unable to be completed because funding was cut • DISA will chair a VMF-XML workshop 2 Aug 2007 to address future direction

  10. TDES Migration Initiatives • Tactical Data Enterprise Services (TDES) Migration Guidance Document TMGD): Dec 05 • Joint Community requests for guidance on tactical transition and interface to GIG • Sets policy conditions for Joint TDES Migration Plan (JTMP) • Interoperability Enhancement Process (IEP): Target Jan06 - TBD • OASD(NII) policy to facilitate JFCOM interoperability process • Leadership to ensure interoperable acquisition policy • Memorandum & Supporting White Paper • TDES registered within Community of Interest (COI) Directory under the Message/TDES category: Mar 06 • Joint TDES Migration Plan (JTMP) – Network Centric Follow-on to JTDLMP: Jan 07 • Implement OASD(NII) strategy for tactical communications transition from data links to Net-Centric wireless services within the GIG • Service and Agency Migration strategies, policies, and plans • Expanded to include GIG Enterprise, NCOW, JTRS, SADL, MADL, CDL(s), Allied & Coalition Considerations, etc • TDES Migration oversight for senior DoD leadership • Implementation policy for key tactical data exchange technologies • 20 Jan 05 ISRP letter to ASD(NII) request JTDLMP update – ISRP Priority

  15. USMTF Migration Status • XML-MTF schemas are currently registered in the DOD Metadata Registry and Clearinghouse • Recent Foreign National Access issues warrant the removal of the schemas until issue is resolved. Schemas are still available via the USMTF GESPORTAL at https://gesportal.dod.mil/sites/usmtf • The 2008 baseline will be implemented 31 July, 2007 • Configuration management of this baseline will be solely XML based and provided as a web service by the end of the year. • User format visual presentations are a direct pull from XML schemas via style sheets • CM will be conducted via a web-based automated online configuration management tool located on the DISA DECC.

  16. Message Text Formats (MTF) Message Generation MSGID/ATO/A// TMPOS/ABC// MSNDAT/0199// RMKS/OHBOY// Message Parse Source DB Target DB ATO CASREP GREEN IIR • A military message standard for sharing structured information (human/machine readable) • Support full spectrum of military operations • Designed to “push” information to known consumers TACELINT PURPLE OPSUM OPREP-3 INTREP SITREP SORTS TACREP DISUM OPTASK LINK INDIGO BDAREP STO

  17. Symbology Migration Initiatives • NCTDESC tasked by JC2 Capabilities Portfolio Management to progress the revisions to MIL-STD-2525(B) to produce 2525(C) to align with desired netcentric object modeling • Symbology Standards Management Committee awaiting the completion and finalization of JC2 CPM Governance documents • SVG files completed and posted • XML conversions completed

  18. How we do this? • Separate the data being exchanged from the portrayal of that data • Link data object types to the symbols that portray those data object types by means of portrayal (symbol assignment) rules • Multiple context-focused portrayal rule sets will allow multiple portrayals of the same data objects • Provide access to symbology and portrayal rules by means of a portrayal registry rather than a “symbol book” • Common Warfighting Symbology is symbology used to portray a common core of information across multiple COIs

  19. MIL-STD-2525 sea mine symbol – friend, dealt Mine Warfare and Environmental Decision Aids Library (MEDAL) sea mine symbol - dealt Example of rules-based portrayal

  20. MIL-STD-2525 damaged school installation with unknown standard identity Emergency Management Symbology damaged school Example of rules-based portrayal

  21. Multiple rule sets and symbol specifications

  22. IBS Migration Status • DTDs are registered in the DOD Metadata Registry and Clearinghouse under the Messaging Namespace • Development of XML schemas under consideration

  23. Why Bother to Make Net Centric Changes to the Warfighting Standards? • Nothing in the field replaces current capabilities today • Primary OSD directed instruments to support allied, coalition, and combined worldwide interoperability • Mandated CJCSIs and CJSCMs • C2 Portfolio documentation incomplete in that they are COI data unique and absent addressing business rules and orchestration to support interoperability • 80,000 worldwide platforms utilize embedded TDL and MTF standards • Hundreds of allied platforms utilize embedded MTFs spanning 67 nations, some of which have adopted MTFs as their national standard

  24. What’s Needed? • Operational concepts/Technologies developed by COIs should be transitioned to enhance the warfighter standards suite • Insert ISO 8601 Time Specification as a Common Data Element in all warfighter standards • Insert NGA developed location and area data elements • Address Business Processes and Orchestration to support interoperability and promote enhanced warfighter capabilities • Doctrine and “TTPs” • Define process for transforming products to operational environment

  28. NCTDESC COI’s Updates Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) COI – First stage of a four stage process in developing the IAMD Net Centric Pilot Concept. The Pilot Concept will establish common data standards and make that data available on the Common Network for all users, as well as to register Information Services with NCES to enable GIG-wide Search and Discovery of IAMD data. Meteorological and Oceanographic (METOC) COI – Implementation of 1) the Virtual Joint METOC Data Base (VJMDB), a virtual collection of Service worldwide METOC databases. 2) The Joint METOC Enterprise Services (JMES), which finds the METOC answer for the battlespace planner/operator, packages the response in most common user specified formats, and compliments and uses GIG Core Enterprise Services. 3) the Joint METOC Broker Language (JMBL), which is a Common mechanism to access VJMDB and JMES for M2M and is a XML-based web-service.

  29. NCTDESC COI’s Updates • Installation Management (IM) COI - The Net-Centric data strategy for the IM COI is to implement a strategy of engaging COI data assets via a mapping tool which performs a series of integrated processes that generate a visible, dynamic, and responsive data management environment.To do so IM is implementing the Real Property Unique Identifier Registry (RPUIR) which will enable the development of a series of Business Enterprise Architecture Compliant systems within the Installations Management COI and will facilitate Inter-COI Integration with the Geo-Spatial Community’s Spatial Data Standards for Facilities Infrastructure and Environment (SDSFIE) Working Group. • Joint Electronic Warfare Data Standardization (JEWDS) COI - Working to standardize Graphic User Interface’s (GUI) display names, GUI data element definitions, and XML tag names.Developed a common data dictionary combining the Next Generation EWIR System (NGES) and the National Emitter Database (NED). • Time Sensitive Targeting (TST) COI - Charter member of the C2 Portfolio and is seeking for a relationship with NECC/DISA to resolve and adjudicate tagging and data dissemination requirements. Currently supporting U. S. STRATCOM’s COI Spiral Two and cross-service harmonization of TST vocabulary and schema with partnering COIs.

  30. NCTDESC COI’s Updates • Air Force COI Coordination Panel (AFCCP) – Current AFCCP activities includeusing a Service-Oriented Enterprise (SOE) to give vocabulary training to AFCCP COIs and configuration management to those COIS. SOE benefits include the re-use of existing vocabularies and standard interfaces, which will shorten development cycles and deliver information quickly. • Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear (CBRN) - CBRN is working with VMF to update the MIL-STD 6017 messaging standard to incorporate the latest ATP-45(C) data requirements. Working to align Symbology requirements with NATO standards and is working with the U.S. Symbology Standards Management Committee (SSMC) to incorporate the desired CBRN updates to the MIL-STD-2525 specification. • Missile Defense Agency (MDA) - BMDS XML Format (BXF) which is considered a solution to the inconsistent XML developments that have direct impact on the BMDS’ interfaces. The process included the transitioning and re-structuring of TDL data hardware and software to better distribute data across the GIG and to the warfighter. • Blue Force Tracking (BFT) – Currently in the process of a re-organization.
