What Our Leaders Say

  • “The National Defense Strategy clearly states how we

gy y will operate in the future – we will be net-centric. Our job is to deliver the critical enabling capability to conduct network-centric operations.” p

  • “Defense transformation hinges on the recognition that

information is our greatest source of power. We can leverage information to allow decision makers at all leverage information to allow decision makers at all levels to make better decisions faster and sooner.” — John G Grimes Assistant Secretary of Defense for John G. Grimes, Assistant Secretary of Defense for Networks and Information Integration, and DoD CIO, March 2006

What is the Problem?

  • Not doing well as a community (acquisition)

– 95 Major Program exceeded the original budgets by$295B and 95 Major Program exceeded the original budgets by$295B and were delivered almost 2 years late on avg.* – Biggest shortfalls – lack of knowledge in technology maturity (risk management) design stability (requirements) and production management), design stability (requirements) and production maturity. – Getting worse, “It’s taking longer and costing more.”

N di f S t E i i th ht

  • New paradigm of System Engineering thought:

– Interoperability / System of Systems Engineering – NetCentric Enterprise

  • Just a better way of thinking

– Model Based System Engineering Thinking out of the box and using better tools – Thinking out of the box and using better tools

Thought for the day

“Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex... things bigger and more complex... It takes a touch of genius --- and a lot of courage to move in the

  • pposite direction.”

DoD Architecture Framework Purpose & Scope

  • Provide guidance on describing

architectures architectures

– Warfighting Operations – Business Operations & Processes

  • Provides guidance, rules & product

descriptions for developing and presenting “Integrated” architectures Integrated architectures

  • Defines three views

– Operational View Operational View – System View – Technical Standards

Type of Problems for Test

  • Interoperability - Systems work at the

Interoperability Systems work at the subsystem level but do not work when in an

  • perational environment
  • Integration problems with legacy systems -

Systems work but interfere with legacy systems such as IFF, TACAN or Defensive Avionics

  • Lack of NetCentric & Interoperability Test

i f l T Pl i expertise for early Test Planning -

Why DoDAF and Interoperability Test?

  • Increasing NetCentric upgrades and modifications since

g pg 9/11 (actually starting after Iraq 1)

  • Link-16, FAB-T, B-1B FIDL, B-52 CONECT, B-2A EHF,

t etc.,

  • Requirement to shorten the “Kill Chain” and to increase

Situational Awareness Situational Awareness

  • Interoperability is about Integrated Architectures
  • DoDAF is the language of Integrated Architectures in

DoD

  • DoDAF Integrated Architectures is the blueprint for

Interoperability Test Requirements Interoperability Test Requirements

Summary

  • Interoperability modifications and upgrades are

increasing

  • Interoperability is System of Systems Engineering
  • Interoperability Testing has special considerations

(other nodes and players) (other nodes and players)

  • “New Think” needed – get out of the box

completely

  • DoDAF Architectures are required in all phases of

Interoperability Testing (TES - TEMP - Flight Test Plan - JTIC Certification)

  • Recommendation – Concerted effort by the SE

Community of Practice to re-think it’s role in the new Interoperable paradigm new Interoperable paradigm
