1. NDIA / USMC War Game 2007 Command & Control Integration Cell 3 Out Brief

2. C2 Integration Issue 1 Issue: MAGTF C2 Commander-Centric capabilities require shared understanding of commander’s intent and guidance, coordination of executable tasks, collaborative planning, execution, assessment and decision-making support requirements. This inherently requires the integration of displays, processes, data feeds, net-centric services, and necessitates an open, service oriented architecture (SOA) development. This represents the decision-makers interface (command) with the supporting infrastructure (control). This capability must extend across all MAGTF C2 Capability Sets (CAPSETS I – V) from MEF Command to the individual Marine. Examine this issue in the context of Joint, Naval, Coalition, Inter-Agency C2 viewpoints and provide suggestions, solutions or recommendations. When examining this issue attempt to: Identify current and projected technologies supporting this capability Discuss SOA development to date including lessons learned Identify unique DOTMLPF needs associated with this capability development, e.g. tactics, techniques, procedure (TTP) modifications; significant bandwidth needs, compression capability, etc.

3. C2 Integration Assumptions Funding is not an issue

4. C2 Integration Issue 1 Identify current and projected technologies supporting this capability Data Strategy Policy to support SOA doesn’t exist Same issue raised @ MCEITS Industry Day Multi-level Security – topic for industry white paper Cross-domain solutions Information Assurance in a Coalition Environment IPV4 vs IPV6 5 W’s – roll-out….DOTMLPF Server Virtualization - intermediate step to SOA Content Mining, Search and Exploitation – how will gov’t articulate this reqt to industry? Model Driven Architecture – define CAPSET 0 – V architecture configuration Commercial development environment readily support SOA implementations BEA WebLogic IBM WebSphere Microsoft.NET Bandwidth management/prioritization across CAPSETS (CCIRs)

5. C2 Integration Issue 1 Identify unique DOTMLPF needs associated with this capability development, e.g. tactics, techniques, procedure (TTP) modifications; significant bandwidth needs, compression capability, etc. Organization MAGTFC2 Marines or Aviation C2 Marines or Ground Marines IMO – who’s the advocate? Owns? Trains? Training: Intuitive Training – build systems that are intuitive: cut down on training time/cost Training should be focused on the audience being trained…is it really happening?

6. C2 Integration Issue 2 Issue: MAGTF C2 capabilities require “common, modular, scalable” solutions that are fully integrated with in an adaptive, distributed network of commanders, staffs, operating units, supporting organizations, sensors, weapons, and other C2 nodes interacting with one another over an underlying information infrastructure and service oriented architecture (SOA). This capability attribute envisions multi-functional roles for operational facilities (OPFACS), e.g. Direct Air Support Center (DASC) today, and Tactical Air Command Center (TACC) tomorrow, with only minimal adjustment... When examining this issue attempt to: Identify current and projected technologies supporting this capability Identify unique DOTMPLF needs associated with this capabilities development, e.g. occupational skills (MOS) requirements, etc. Discuss SOA as an enabler in supporting “common, modular, scalable” solutions. Examine this issue in the context of Joint, Naval, C2 viewpoints and provide suggestions, solutions or recommendations

7. C2 Integration Issue 2 Identify current and projected technologies supporting this capability Our interpretation of multi-functional nodes… Need an agreed-to definition of multi-functionality See answers to Issue 1 We need Industry to identify what is needed from the Marine Corps Systems Command to move us forward…Net-centricity, Industry Standards, Technology Insertion, Industry Design and Development, Engineering, Streamlining of System of Systems BTW: Sea-based version of MAGTFC2 – Navy MOC Distributed Operations UAS integration/robotics Is MARSOC a CAPSET player? Relationship of C2 UUNS to MAGTFC2 PORs Industry visibility into UUNS MAGTFC2 in support of homeland defense/DHS Is MAGTFC2 a weapons system?

8. C2 Integration Provide recommendations for NDIA Study Groups Multi-level security Bandwidth management/prioritization ROI for Industry?

9. C2 Integration ID Opportunities for increased Collaboration between Industry and USMC MARCORSYSCOM PG representation MAGTFC2 POR “belly button” PEO LS…CAC2S/GATOR, etc Establish routine dialogue among HQMC, MCCDC, MCSC and Industry MAGTFC2 TTF
