Global Broadcast Service (GBS)Volume VI – Model Contract – Attachment 3MobileCapable of communicating while moving.Near-Worldwide CoverageAn area 65 degrees North latitude to 65 degrees South latitude, with longitude coverage limited by the UHFFollow-On satellite footprint.Network CentricExploitation of advancing technology moving from an applications-centric to a data-centric paradigm – that is,providing users the ability to access applications and services through Web services – an information environmentcomprised of interoperable computing and communication components.Network Centric Enterprise Services (NCES)Global Information Grid (GIG) Network Centric Enterprise Services (NCES) A DISA program to implement keyenabling capabilities for a network centric enterprise. NCES provide a common set of interoperable informationcapabilities in the Global Information Grid (GIG) to access, collect, process, store, disseminate, and manageinformation on demand for warfighters, policy makers, and support organizations.Net Centric Operations and Warfare (NCOW)Describes how DOD conducts business operations, warfare, and enterprise management. It is based on theconcept of an assured, dynamic, and shared information environment providing access to trusted information forall users, based on need, independent of time and place. It is characterized by assured services, infrastructuretransparency (to the user), independence of data consumers and producers, and metadata supported by informationdiscovery, protection and mediation. This fundamental shift from platform-centric warfare to net-centric warfareprovides for an Information Superiority-enabled concept of operations. The NCOW RM provides a commontaxonomy and lexicon of NCOW concepts and terms, and architectural descriptions of NCOW concepts. Itrepresents an important mechanism in DOD transformation efforts, establishing a common framework for netcentricity.It enables capability developers, program managers, and program oversight groups to move forward ona path toward a transformed, net-centric enterprise. Net-centricity enables user access and use of resources bothcollaboratively and asynchronously, regardless of time and place. It is the ability of a program or system tointegrate with, offer services to, and exploit the services of a net-centric environment.Net Centric Operations and Warfare Reference Model (NCOW RM) –(see paragraph E.1.1Compliance with NCOW RM.)The NCOW RM describes the activities required to establish, use, operate, and manage the net-centric enterpriseinformation environment to include: the generic user-interface, the intelligent-assistant capabilities, the net-centricservice capabilities (core services, Community of Interest (CoI) services, and environment control services), andthe enterprise management components. It also describes a selected set of key standards needed as the NCOWcapabilities of the Global Information Grid (GIG) are realized. The NCOW RM represents the objective end-statefor the GIG. This objective end-state is a service-oriented, inter-networked, information infrastructure in whichusers request and receive services enabling operational capabilities across the range of military operations; DODbusiness operations; and Department-wide enterprise management operations. The NCOW RM is a keycompliance mechanism for evaluating DOD information technology capabilities and the Net Ready KeyPerformance.Network Centric WarfareAn information superiority-enabled concept of operations generating increased combat power by networkingsensors, decision makers, and shooters to achieve shared awareness, increased speed of command, higher tempoof operations, greater lethality, increased survivability, and a degree of self-synchronization. Network centricwarfare translates information superiority into combat power by effectively linking knowledgeable entities in thebattlespace.Net-ReadyDOD Information Technology National Security Systems meeting required information needs, informationtimeliness requirements, has information assurance accreditation, and meets the attributes required for both the30 March 2009 • Contract Number: FA8726-09-C-0006Use or disclosure of data contained on this sheet is subject to the restriction on the title page of this proposalVolume VI-5.0-179
Global Broadcast Service (GBS)Volume VI – Model Contract – Attachment 3technical exchange of information and the end-to-end operational effectiveness of that exchange. DODInformation Technology National Security Systems which is Net-Ready, enables warfighters and DOD businessoperators to exercise control over enterprise information and services through a loosely coupled, distributedinfrastructure, leveraging service modularity, multimedia connectivity, metadata, and collaboration to provide anenvironment promoting unifying actions among all participants. Net-readiness requires Information TechnologyNational Security Systems to operate in an environment where there exists a distributed information processingenvironment in which applications are integrated; applications and data independent of hardware are integrated;information transfer capabilities exist to ensure seamless communications within and across diverse media;information is in a common format with a common meaning; there exist common human-computer interfaces forusers; and there exists effective means to protect the information. Net-Readiness is critical to achieving theenvisioned objective of a cost-effective, seamlessly integrated environment. Achieving and maintaining thisvision requires interoperability:a. Within a Joint Task <strong>Force</strong> combatant command area of responsibility (AOR).b. Across combatant command AOR boundaries.c. Between strategic and tactical systems.d. Within and across Services and Agencies.e. From the battlefield to the sustaining base.f. Among US, Allied, and Coalition forces.g. Across current and future systems.Net-Ready Key Performance Parameter (NR-KPP)The NR-KPP assesses information needs, information timeliness, information assurance, and net-ready attributesrequired for both the technical exchange of information and the end-to-end operational effectiveness of theexchange. The NR-KPP consists of verifiable performance measures and associated metrics required to evaluatethe timely, accurate, and complete exchange and use of information to satisfy information needs for a givencapability. The NR-KPP is comprised of the following elements: (1) Compliance with the Net-Centric Operationsand Warfare (NCOW) Reference Model (RM), (2) Compliance with applicable GIG Key Interface Profiles (KIP),(3) Verification of compliance with DOD information assurance requirements, and (4) Supporting integratedarchitecture products required to assess information exchange and use for a given capability.Net-Ready KPP AssessmentThe Net-Ready KPP Assessment determines the impacts, risks, and vulnerabilities of fielding secure,interoperable, supportable, sustainable and usable (SISSU) systems to the warfighter. Parameters assessedinclude: network security, network impact, compatibility with the infrastructure, infrastructure requirements,spectrum support, security policy compliance, DISR standards compliance, communications and informationmanpower, training, logistics support, schedule and funding. A system assessed and determined to be supportablefrom a communications and information perspective, and any impacts, risks and vulnerabilities it may present tothe enterprise are deemed to be acceptable or manageable is Net Ready.Network warfare simulation (NETWARS)The standard DOD approved communications simulation tool. Combatant commanders, Services and agenciesuse NETWARS for all communications modeling purposes.Operational Availability (Ao)Ao is the total time the unit is operational and is calculated as: A = Total Uptime . o (Total Uptime + TotalDowntime). It is the operational availability of the unit; the percentage of time that the unit is able to perform itsintended operation. Where: Uptime is the time when the unit is considered ready for use and is either operating, instandby, or off Downtime is the time the unit is down for repair of operational mission failures, including offboardlogistics delays. Downtime also includes planned maintenance time. Ao in this <strong>SRD</strong> does not includegeographic effects such as rain fade or the sun passing behind a satellite. Geographic effects should only degradesystem availability when their severity overcomes the margins built into system architectures (see link30 March 2009 • Contract Number: FA8726-09-C-0006Use or disclosure of data contained on this sheet is subject to the restriction on the title page of this proposalVolume VI-5.0-180
