The Case For Change

“What is needed is a portfolio of military capabilities with maximum versatility across the widest possible spectrum of conflict. As a result, we must change the way we think and the way we plan - and fundamentally reform - the way the Pentagon does business and buys weapons.”

Secretary of Defense Robert M. Gates Chicago IL, 16 July 2009

Full Spectrum Information Operations

• Combat Ops• Train/Employ Security• Essential Services• Promote Governance• Economic Pluralism

“In the era of uncertainty, rapid change and increasing competition, we’ve just got to change faster.”

GEN Martin E. DempseyChairman Joint Chiefs of Staff

“The 21st Century security environment demands fast, comprehensive awareness, strategic thinking, flexible planning, decentralized execution, rapid innovation, and an unprecedented emphasis on sharing information.”

General C. Robert Kehler, Commander USSTRATCOMSASC Testimony, 29 March 2011

CCOD Operational Value ExperimentUSMC Operators 22-26 Aug 2011

■ Examine operator ability to modify and adapt the info space

■ Researchers and 9 Marine Operators working side by side

■ CCOD networking, provisioning and data composition tools

■ NEO Based Scenario

“…If this stuff is 75% as good as it appears, it’s twice as good as anything we have in the field”

RESEARCH IN CONTEXT

■ Invaluable knowledge sharing■ Operators rapidly escalated to TTPs

and CONOPS■ Numerous tool refinements


12

FEMA Mobilization Exercises (MOBEX)5-6 May 2011

■ FEMA and LAFD Disaster Mobilization Exercise

– Earthquake with radiation contamination

– No data comms, cellular infrastructure, or wireless reach back

■ Composable Comm & Networking Infrastructure

– Automatic config for network services for rapid deployment

– Network monitoring and health reporting

– Mechanism to simplify discovery and configuration of information feeds

– Rapid integration of data systems by transforming information feeds to EDXL message standard
