The Operational Problem-2008

Coalition forces within Afghanistan could not communicate effectively and share operational Commander’s guidance, information and intelligence

Operational Requirements were Nationally specific, not oriented to Coalition Data Sharing and enterprise mission based execution

Different networks with inadequate cross-domain solutions resulted in poor ops, planning and intelligence information exchange between U.S. and NATO forces in International Security Assistance Force (ISAF)

Communication gaps between partner nations increased risks to life, resources, and efficiency



Operational Direction

The underlying importance of the AMN as a blueprint for future Alliance mission networks and for the governance model for new complex programs in theater is a fundamental underpinning of the AMN Capability Planning approach. AMN and its spiral development is proving to be a test bed for future capability development, stressing the importance of progressive development processes whereby increasingly adaptive and agile CIS delivery is being expedited in support of operations. The collapsing of traditional acquisition processes is bringing innovative and flexible solutions to the war-fighter in shorter timescales than hitherto deemed possible. This trajectory in CIS delivery is underpinned by COMISAF whereby he states that the AMN is the most important enabling capability he has as a commander. The approach is about ‘command – centric’ delivery that is ‘network –enabled’ and not ‘network – centric’.

Afghanistan Mission Network (AMN)

Primary Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Combat Systems, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) network in Afghanistan for all ISAF forces and operations

Consists of the ISAF SECRET network as the core with connections to national extensions from numerous TCNs

2012-07-11 // AMN CIAV



What is CIAV?

Process and methodology for Assurance & Validation (A&V) of mission thread interoperability on the AMN

Process for validating Coalition Mission Threads (CMT) and Coalition Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (CTTP)

Assures information exchanges and operational information exchange processes

Provides CMT Capability and Limitation Reports supported by Operational Impact Statements

Provides ‘Risk to Fielding’ of major software/system changes and new capabilities

CIAV Principles

CIAV is a function that provides operational A&V of coalition interoperability based on authorized CMTs

CIAV interoperability is NOT about providing opinion; it is about providing C5ISR mission risk assessment and operational impact with appropriate mitigation

CIAV does NOT replace National/Joint/System testing activities

CIAV is tasked by the Capability Authority and is executed by the CIAV Management Group

CIAV is operationally relevant and persistent; it is enduring

CIAV Working Group

Purpose: Responsible for assuring and validating services, systems and business processes supporting AMN mission threads

Interoperability execution arm for the AMN Governance structure

Managed by national heads of delegation from participating troop contributing nations (TCNs) and NATO

Coordinates Assurance & Validation events per AMN Secretariat and National direction and provides results/recommendations on mission and coalition interoperability improvement across AMN

Executing mission thread assurance for initial 8 AMN Coalition Mission Threads prioritized by IJC in 90 day sprints

2012-07-11 // AMN CIAV



AMN Architecture WG Develops the overall AMN architecture and modeling of the AMN mission

threads in order to support multinational C5ISR planning at the enterprise level. AWG activities are focused on supporting the conduct of safe operations and enable operational agility in the Afghanistan Area of Operations. The AMN AWG supported the following objectives:

• Migration to a common Coalition C5ISR network • Identify common coalition “mission threads” and ensure each has adequate

information systems support • Ensure data consistency and availability across the AMN for the duration of

the operation • Enable nations to bring their own tools to the fight, yet fight using common

AMN data • Improve efficiency and effectiveness by reducing the number of systems and

data sources• Enable the sharing of information

2012-07-11 // AMN CIAV



Theater CMT Review

Purpose:

• Capture and discover the RC’s operational and technical requirements, business processes, and systems utilized to conduct the successful execution of coalition mission threads

Authority:

• HQ IJC via FRAGO

Outputs:

• Recommend mission and coalition interoperability improvements across AMN

• Identify limitations (gaps) in process and technology • Update AMN Architecture

CIAV Benefits Determined issues with Blue Force Situational Awareness that immediately reduced the risk

of blue on blue incidents. Assisted with Canadian Tactics, Techniques and Procedures (TTP) issues that discovered their beacons were turned off.

Developing process to eliminate unknown US Blue Force ground tracks on NATO COP.

Increased the reliability of Chat Services, directly impacting MEDEVAC missions as well as the AMN Chat operational architecture and TTPs to enhance C2 across the coalition.

Assured and Validated Freedom of Movement mission thread data exchange; CIAV recommendations immediately improved ground movement coordination.

Joint ISR Collection Coordination and Intelligence Requirements Management (CCIRM) findings resulted in a process that reduced burdens on collection managers, decreased manual translation errors, and decreased latency of product request delivery/tasking.

Supporting III Corps G-6 with pre-deployment coordination briefings and training material for NATO systems.
