NCES Vision

NCES will enable the secure, agile, robust, dependable, interoperable data sharing

environment for DoD where warfighter, business, and intelligence users share knowledge on a global

network that facilitates information superiority, accelerates decision-making, effective operations,

and net-centric transformation.

Page 4: NCES Program Overview - HSDL

What is NCES?

NCES enables information sharing by connecting people/systems who have information* with people/systems who need information

For people who have information, NCES provides global information advertising and delivery services

For people who need information, NCES provides global services to find and receive information

* Information – data and services

Page 5: NCES Program Overview - HSDL

The NCES Program is all about Information Sharing

VisibleVisibleIs an information resource discoverable by most users?

Is it available on the network, and are tools readily available to use it?

Can it be intelligibly used? Are the semantics well documented?

Can it be combined or compared with other information?

Is the source, accuracy and currency of the data available to users?

Is the data what users need? Are robust user feedback mechanisms in place to improve it?

NCES enables the DoD Net-Centric Data Strategy

NCES Guiding PrinciplesNCES will enable the DoD Net-Centric Data StrategySpeed to deployment – risk management

– Adopt service specifications– Buy performance-based, managed

services from service providers– Create absolutely minimize

Leverage existing assets to manage risk– Use pilots, experiments, early adopters,

proofs of concept to control risk

DISA partnership with the Services– Capability to the Tactical Edge– Include C/S/A in selecting solutions– Participation in pilots, experiments, proofs

of concept

Easy, simple, fast governance– Delegate fielding authority of independent

capabilities to lowest level– Tailored acquisition processes

Business Strategy– Manage a portfolio of services

– Use performance-based service level agreements (SLAs) for managed and adopted services

– Exploit competition for commercially available solutions

– Hosting in GIG or commercial computing nodes as appropriate

– Provide acquisition flexibility by limiting upfront investment

Technical Strategy– Timely access to rapidly evolving

technologies

– Define service interfaces to ensure open industry standards, loosely coupled services, and evolutionary plug and play architecture

– Document interface end-of-life strategy

How Do We Do It?Overall Acquisition Strategy Features

NCES will acquire managed services, not individual products– Adopt existing standards, specifications, and interface definitions

for services– Acquire as commercially managed service or as a government

managed service• Prefer a commercial- or vendor-managed service with appropriate

contract enforcement provisions

– Service Providers are responsible for full lifecycle support• Buying hardware/software, and integration/development as

appropriate• Operational support (help desk, etc), maintenance• Technology refresh

Initial Increment I approach is to continue to support current capabilities until service providers are in place

– Early Capabilities Baseline (ECB) will be available for early adopters as “operational capability” at Milestone B

– Minimize investment in ECBs

What We Have DoneNCES Pilot Environment, Early Adopters & Content Discovery

Pilot Environment– NCES NIPRNET and SIPRNET Pilot Environments declared Open

For Business on 26 September 2005– Access to services in a pre-production environment for users and

service providers/consumers

Early Adopters– Working with Communities of Interest (COI) to utilize NCES

services, develop and employ data taxonomies and associated tools.

– Formal COI’s include:• Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR)• Space Situational Awareness (SSA)

Metadata Tagging– Established Metadata registry to support implementation of DoD

data strategy• 6000 NIPR registered users (people & systems)• 30 SIPR registered users

Page 16: NCES Program Overview - HSDL

15

What We Have DoneNCES Metadata Tagging & Collaboration

Content Discovery and Delivery– Acquired commercial technology to speed delivery of large

amounts of information between COCOMs and Agencies (NIPRNET and SIPRNET)

– Automated imagery distribution processes and improved computing performance for operational commands.

Collaboration– Conducted acquisition pilot to validate use of commercially

managed collaboration product– Supported multiple operational requirements w/ Pilot

capabilities• Tsunami Relief Effort• Presidential Inauguration

What We Have DoneNavy Activities

Trident Warrior

– Supported demonstration of NCES Content Discovery Core Enterprise Service in early September using service from DECC Columbus OH.

U.S. Navy Operations Center

– Instituted “SMART PULL”, automated web updating and information caching support to the Navy Operations Center in the Pentagon. This vastly speeds up the process of identifying and accessing new or changed information.

USNAVEUR

– Providing Content Discovery services to the Naval component commander in Naples, Italy.

USS Iwo Jima

– Supported Content Delivery capabilities to the USS Iwo Jima during Operation Liberia, freeing critical C2 bandwidth for operational use.

NCES Messaging Support

– Provided NCES messaging and technical support to SPAWARSYSCOM in support of the Net-centric Capability Pilot (NCCP) Demonstration.

NCES & FORCEnet What are the opportunties available to us?

Provide joint connectivity for Service enterprise architectures

– Facilitate connectivity with Army and Air Force enterprise architectures

– NCES-FORCEnet interoperability will promote “best of breed” evaluations of FORCEnet capabilities for NCES

Provide Increment 1 capability flexible enough to support forward-deployed platforms

– Feedback from Services will assist NCES in meeting forward-deployed KPPs in Increment 2

DEP/JDEP testing opportunities for FORCEnet and NCES interoperability

Page 20: NCES Program Overview - HSDL

19

NCES and FORCEnetSome thoughts on how we get there from here…

Consider an MOA between FORCEnet stake holders (RDA CHENG, SPAWAR 05, JRAE) and the NCES program

– NCES is in the final stages of coordinating an MOA with the ArmySOSCOE program

Synchronize Navy NESI development with NCES SOA foundation development

Participate in JRAE experimentation. Utilize JRAE lessons learned while developing the DoD-wide SOA Foundation

Work with NESI, JRAE and Navy Open Architecture Initiative to ensure we are all developing truly interoperable standards and systems.

Facilitate Navy PORs implementation of net-centric data standards (see back up slide)

SummaryNCES is essential to enabling Network Centric Warfare

Working collaboratively with the DOD community, NCES will provide the infrastructure necessary for SOA implementation and operation across the DOD enterprise.

NCES seeks partnerships with the Navy to advance Net-centricity.

– This conference is an opportunity to collaborate with you and establish a foundation for net centric success.

“A services-oriented architecture facilitates the kind of agility and flexibility we need to achieve true net-centricity.”

– RADM Ken Slaght
