Genesis of Current Effort
Sponsored by OSD/NII, we are a Joint Focus team comprised of representatives across the DoD
This group was formed as a result of PDM III, section 3.8– Identified a gap in providing CES to the Tactical user– DoD Components have pursued a number of
initiatives to deliver CES to a range of tactical environments
– There are many users and environments which continue to lack capabilities and have limited interoperability
We are NOT a PDM III working group

CES2TE Charter
From the CES2TE Charter:– Concentrate on the delivery of Core Enterprise Services to
the Tactical Edge within the context of the Joint Close Air Support (JCAS) use case.
– Review and assess DoD Component architectures, service definitions, technical specifications, and deployment of Core Enterprise Services to the Tactical Edge.
– Develop reference models that map JCAs to mission threads Business, Service, Performance and Technical Reference Models

CES2TE Current Efforts Socialized Tactical Edge Framework across DoD Captured and Developed CES2TE Reference Model
Methodology Developed draft reference models that map JCAs to
mission threads Capability Gap Analysis/Data Call Validation of PORs
Initially focusing on six PORs/initiatives/enterprise capabilities: NCES, NECC, AOC-WS, FCS, CANES, MCEITS
Identify overlap/gaps in the delivery of CES
Develop a White Paper which outlines: Conclusions/Recommendations from Data Call Validation/Interviews with PORs Methodology of focus team Reference Models

CES2TE “Boundary of the Tactical Edge” Everything forward of a deployed tactical network’s DISN
POP/SDN might be considered the “tactical edge” from an enterprise services (and communications transport) perspective.
As with tactical unit boundaries, the contours of the tactical edge will vary by Service, mission, phase of an operation, bandwidth availability, and other factors (both technical and non-technical).
The CES delivery architecture will necessarily be tiered, with bandwidth availability and organizational boundaries as major factors defining the tiers.
The lowest tiers of the “tactical edge,” including dismounted users, will draw upon CES. Delivery approaches should be tailored to their limited bandwidth and intermittent connectivity and reflective of their "disadvantaged" status, especially relative to equipment.

Tactical Edge Framework Overview
Edge not effectively described by a single environment, but instead by a set of environments– Each describes “layer” of edge further from the GIG core
(infrastructure)– Framework defines these layers with emphasis on data and services

Applying the Framework
Goal: Promote a coherent approach across diverse DoD Service implementations– Socialize Tactical Edge Framework
– Validate the Tactical Edge Framework through application and experimentation
– Apply lessons learned back into Tactical Edge Framework
– Support adoption of the Tactical Edge Framework by DoD Programs

White Paper Discussion
Developed White Paper Outline for CES2TE effort Intent was to be “building block” for future work Conducted analysis of Services main PORs/initiatives to
determine what CES they are scheduled to deploy Identify any gaps/overlaps and interdependencies of
programs to include in overall report Met with main PORs/initiatives
– NECC, NCES, CANES, FCS, AOC-WS, MCEITS– Standardized list of questions for each group– Attempt to validate information, identify gaps, dependencies,
architectural products from programs
Goal: Provide a set of conclusions/recommendations for DoD in terms of Enterprise Services
Conclusions from Capability Gap Analysis
A gap within/throughout the tactical edge does exist
The decision to eliminate NCES Increment 2 left significant gaps in deploying and developing services to the tactical edge
The DoD community needs a way of understanding the full range of CES and implementations across the Services, not just the main PORs
Quality of Service requirements need to be addressed
Recommendations from Capability Gap Analysis Enforce the provisions of DoD 8320.02:
– Strict governance procedures are needed to ensure interoperability
– Portfolio Managers need to ensure PORs are delivering interoperable CES across Components.
– Community as a whole should identify ES “best practices” for service development
A federated reference architecture is needed for Enterprise Service development and deployment– To comply with DoD 8320.02– Assures interoperability for separately developed variants of
core enterprise services
Way Ahead/ Conclusion White Paper completed and posted to Intellipedia Site Official vetting for “Boundary of Tactical Edge” Apply Reference Model Methodology to capability
mapping Enterprise Service community should address report
to prevent potential interoperability issues
