  1. Defense Information Systems Agency A Combat Support Agency Department of Defense Interoperability Communications Exercise (DICE) Mr. Al M. Slarve Joint Interoperability Test Command Integrated Communications Systems Branch, Chief E-mail: al.slarve@disa.mil CML: 520-538-5362 DSN: 879-5362

  2. Agenda • BLUF • DICE Overview • FY 09 Snapshot • FY 10-01 Snapshot • FY 10-02/03 Emphasis & Initiatives • DICE Distributed & Connected • Summary

  3. BLUF • Venue to conduct interoperability certification or assessments in a realistic environment • Solve real-world interoperability issues • Reduce costs of testing by resource sharing • Provide a venue where interoperability or system/equipment failures are resolved without operational pressures • Reduces interoperability risk of rapid communication & information technology insertion • Allows the Warfighter to acquire, certify & deploy systems in less than one year

  4. What’s the Difference? • *Coalition Warrior Interoperability Demonstration (CWID) (Demonstration of emerging technologies to DoD) • Department of Defense Interoperability Communications Exercise (DICE) (Interoperability Certification and Assessment in the Operational Area Network (OAN) / Global Information Grid (GIG) • Joint User Interoperability Communications Exercise (JUICE) (Operational Area Network…Architecture, Tactics, Techniques & Procedures)

  5. DICE • Joint Staff / Joint Forces Command supported exercise • Emulates complex Joint Task Force (JTF) communications network with commercial network interfaces • Utilizes operational warfighting systems with actual users • Includes developers, vendors & industry partners

  6. What we do • Joint Interoperability Certification of tactical warfighting systems • Interoperability testing with live networks, systems & capabilities • Technology demonstrations relevant to the warfighter • Combatant Command (COCOM) support • Hotline support • Training venue

  7. How we do it • CJCSI 6212.01E & Unified Capabilities Requirements (UCR) 2008 • Distributed / global network (CONUS / OCONUS) • Realistic Operational Area Network • Operation of systems by actual operators • Live and closed-loop networks

  8. How we do it • Partnerships • Warfighting organizations • JCSE, MCTSSA, 11th Sig Bde • Joint User Interoperability Communications Exercise (JUICE) • Coalition Warrior Interoperability Demonstration (CWID) • Department of Homeland Security (DHS) • Industry

  21. Summary • DICE reduces the cost of interoperability testing through cost sharing & experience • Mitigate operational risk through interoperability testing in realistic environment • DICE is growing & evolving in pace with the warfighter • Automating the data collection and analysis “The battleground should not be the testing ground!”
