DoDDoD’’s Approach to s Approach to Developing Net CentricityDeveloping Net Centricity

Program Decision Memorandum (PDM) III, December 20, 2005, Tasked the Assistant SecDef for Networks & Information Integration / DoD Chief Information Officer(ASD(NII) / DoD CIO…. “To accelerate the provisioning & adoption of Core Enterprise Services (CES) acrossDoD.

In commercial industry speak, that means to start developing a System Oriented Architecture (SOA) approach for C2.

In commercial industry speak, that means to start developing a System Oriented Architecture (SOA) approach for C2.


PerspectivePerspectiveThe DoD must continue to evaluate/assess technology’s impact on the current war. And quickly adopt approaches that increase our combat capabilities

7

We believe that Net-Centric Environment “e.g. SOA approach” is the next principal mechanism for enhanced Command Capability of Joint C2.

• Emerging technologies, like SOA and innovative CONOPS must accelerate, together

• Viable technologies must be rapidly integrated into current C2 practices, allied operations, training, and doctrine for maximummaximum effectiveness

• Warfighter needs are dynamic, our coalition arrangements are unique, and the “funding-requirement-acquisition” process is unacceptable in the ‘immediate’ for the soldier on the patrol

Changing the Business Model Requires:(1) Willingness to work together to leverage each others core competencies (2) Focus on Joint Warfighter as central driver – solution need originator and evaluator(3) Commitment to providing meaningful services rather than inflexible “products”

8

Focus on Joint Joint WarfighterWarfighter’’s urgent s urgent operational needoperational need --solution providers must forge a single ‘integrated’ enterprise to reduce risk in satisfaction of that need.

Changing Business ModelChanging Business Model


TRANSFORMATION EFFORTS:• Moving away from a Soviet based system• Moving to a professional as apposed to a conscript

based force• Moving to a capitalistic based economic model• Moving to asymmetric warfare • Moving to a net-centric combat capable force

At the request of Poland’s Chief of Defense (CHOD), a combined NATO and USJFCOM, Poland’s Military staff, plus Industry and Academia constructed a near term Common Operating Picture (COP).Constructed a near term SOA environment to integrate Poland’s Air, Land and Sea into a combined Common Operational Picture. Supported Poland’s role as a NATO member & US strategic partner

DoDDoD’’s Web Services Characteristics Web Services Characteristic


These web systems and services will have a unique combination of characteristics that differentiate them from more conventional legacy client server applications. In particular, they tend to include:

• Architecture places data at the center of its design: Enterprise Resource Pattern (ERP) & Enterprise Service Bus (ESB)

• ERP standardizes access to any C2 domain object (APIs)

• ESB publishes messages based on an event/trigger

• Rapidly changing technologies, e.g. more actors, platforms, networks, and services not applications

David LinthicumTop 5 Mistakes w/ SOA,

1. Not enough trained IT/SOA architects to put on the problem. 2. “Manage by Magazine” approach to SOA.3. Don’t understand the unique nature of their problem domains. 4. Treat SOA as a project, not a journey.5. Unable to define the value.

Jim Green, Designing Reusable Software, - Types of services:

(1) put data in, (2) get data out- SOA & error handling => careful planning

Oh, by the way: David said, “I Actively tracks 120 different SOA standards20% to 30% are duplicative At any one point in time.”





Hub Vandervoort, CTO, Progress/Sonic• His Key concept was Enterprise Service Bus (ESB)

• Service Requires alignment across 4 dimensions• Functional, (2) Structural (3) Behavioral (4) Performance• Interaction Model (-Request Reply, -Store & Forward, -

Pub/Sub, –Bulk transfers)

Steve Kahn, Bearing Point• Discussed two SOA projects (Insurance Company & Commercial packaging firm)• Focus on the business…, technology is

never enough.



Melissa Soley, BAH, Trans-National COPBAH Mission Engineering (ME) method is a bottom-up IER data capture approach

• Very intensive data capture approachPoint of interest: 80% of an Intel Analyst’s time is spent simply retrieving data not analyzing.

Sean Fitts, Amber Point• Keys to SOA Runtime Gov’n

• Visibility => what is going on & who is using it?

• Control => Actions to prevent or correct issues

• Integrity => Ensuring changes don’t impact the whole infrastructure
