2. 2 Agenda DoD Net-Centric Data Strategy Data Strategy Update SEC Data Strategy Center of Excellence Add US-JC3IEDM to Army CCB DoD Net-Centric Data Strategy Data Strategy Update SEC Data Strategy Center of Excellence Add US-JC3IEDM to Army CCB

3. 3 DoD Net-Centric Data Strategy DoD Net-Centric Data Goals: Ensure data is: Visible Available Understandable Trusted Interoperable Responsive to users’ needs Institutionalize Data Management Ubiquitous Global Network Metadata Catalogs Enterprise & Community Web Sites Application Services (e.g., Web) Shared Data Space Metadata Registries Security Services (e.g., PKI, SAML) Consumer COI / Developer Posts to and uses metadata registries to structure data and document formats for reuse and interoperability Producer Searches metadata catalogs to find data Analyzes metadata to determine context of data found Pulls selected data based on understanding of metadata Describes content using metadata Posts metadata in catalogs and data in shared space Strategy enabled by data forums (COIs, WGs, IPTs), metadata, registries, catalogs and shared data spaces

4. 4 Data Strategy Update Army Net-Centric Data Strategy Roadmap in development COI Guidance Document in Review US-JC3IEDM Endorsements WMA IWG to become a COI –Developing Charter –Developing a CM Plan WMA IWG DASG and the SWB Data Sub-IPT to merge Army Net-Centric Data Strategy Roadmap in development COI Guidance Document in Review US-JC3IEDM Endorsements WMA IWG to become a COI –Developing Charter –Developing a CM Plan WMA IWG DASG and the SWB Data Sub-IPT to merge

5. 5 DATA STRATEGY CENTER OF EXCELLENCE PURPOSE Enable the understandability of data Assist with the establishment of COIs and develop their data products Use common/enterprise tools/products to efficiently produce tailored data products PURPOSE Enable the understandability of data Assist with the establishment of COIs and develop their data products Use common/enterprise tools/products to efficiently produce tailored data products

7. 7 US-JC3IEDM Need to incorporate the CM of the US-JC3IEDM into the Army CCB Charter & TOR Review Add Attendees to support technical understanding of the JC3IEDM Need to incorporate the CM of the US-JC3IEDM into the Army CCB Charter & TOR Review Add Attendees to support technical understanding of the JC3IEDM

8. 8 Add US-JC3IEDM to Army CCB 1. PROBLEM/ISSUE: Request addition of the US-JC3IEDM CM into the Army CCB. 2. BACKGROUND: The Army has endorsed the use of the JC3IEDM for Battle Command systems. To ensure continued interoperability as the extensions are developed for this model, the Army requires centralized oversight of the extensions to enable US harmonization in its development. 3. IMPACT: –a. TECHNICAL: System Non-interoperability –b. SCHEDULE: See US-JC3IEDM Development Schedule –c. COST: The cost of re-engineering the systems’ implementation of the model will be great if harmonization is not embedded in the extension process. Also, coalition non- interoperability will cost lives on the battlefield. 1. PROBLEM/ISSUE: Request addition of the US-JC3IEDM CM into the Army CCB. 2.

14. 14 Conclusion Support of DOD Net-Centric Data Strategy is key to increased survivability of the Warfighter The Army CCB’s inclusion of emerging data standards supports the Army's migration to a Net Centric environment SEC provides expertise as the Data Strategy Center of Excellence in support of COIs, Domains and Mission Areas. Recommend the Army CCB consider increasing its role to support the DoD’s Data Strategy by becoming the CCB for the US- JC3IEDM.
