Senior Leader Views

“The competitive edge in technologies will be gained when the military increases cross-domain communications and obtains or creates capabilities faster so they are not obsolete by the time they are fielded

– Gen Cartwright, Vice Chairman, JCS, Dec 09

“If the pace of technical advances holds true, greater technological change will occur

• ver the next twenty years than occurred in the whole of the twentieth century. In

many ways the world of 2030 will be nearly as strange as the world of 2000 would have been to an observer from 1900.“ - Joint Operating Environment 2008

A Commander’s View…

“There have been breakthroughs in the disciplines of human intelligence, signals intelligence, imagery intelligence [and] measurement intelligence … and each is supported by the proliferation of computer applications, intelligence platforms and growth in various capabilities ... But the real breakthrough has been in the fusion of all this ... and in the coordination and cooperation of all elements.” – General David Petraeus, Commander, U.S. Central Command

“When the soldier hits push-to-talk, I want him to be able to bring the full power of the entire force to bear at the point of need …the network makes that possible…that’s what’s keeping folks alive.”

– LTG Austin, DJS, 26 Aug 09

Info & Services “from the Edge” Unity of Command/Effort Joint Infrastructure Common Policies & Standards

• Unified Network C2 from STRATCOM (Global) to COCOMs (Theater)
• NetOps that is aligned and supports the operational commander’s priorities
• Data systems & applications built to work in austere conditions (deployed)
• Programs built from the tactical edge back to the garrison environment
• Common network standards enable interagency & mission partner solutions
• Properly balanced global risk with Common Security Framework
• Regionalized (Mirrored Sites) network service centers ensure COOP & Data Staging
• Leverage Current Network Infrastructure by Interconnecting Service & Joint Domains
• Gain efficiency in personnel/resources by collapsing duplicate networks/spt contracts
• Single Sign-on and DoD Directory (Global Access List)
• Anytime/Anywhere Access to DoD Networks
• Email for Life (Home Station or Deployed)

Framework to deliver capability – GIG 2.0

What I would like to leave you with…

“There is no exaggerating our dependence on DoD’s information networks for command and control of our forces, the intelligence and logistics on which they depend, and the weapons technologies we develop and field.” QDR Report 2010

13

• Supporting and enabling our Deployed Warfighers is the Joint

Staff’s #1 priority

• The Cyberspace Domain is real…it will become the single unifying

force for our National, DoD and Commercial C4ISR systems

• Our relationship with Industry and Academia is essential to our

current and future success

• Our greatest challenge is “Changing the Culture”

At the End of the Day ...
