3. Overarching Goal and Objectives
“The primary goal of the Airborne SIGINT Enterprise is to produce an architecture-based, capability-focused SIGINT investment strategy for the USAF” – Congressional Budget Justification
Overall Objectives:
Enable focused investments to rapidly close high priority collection gaps
Develop the architecture to capture current platforms, sensors and capabilities and the future Air Force SIGINT system
Make the architecture and related analysis easily accessible via the web 3

EA is intended to promote horizontal integration
Funding and organizational control acts vertically
Funding and Architecture Not Necessarily Aligned 4

5. Key Government Structure & Processes
All stakeholder organizations participate in investment board decision-making
HQ, Operations, Acquisition, Materiel Command
Congressional Budget language of PE requires that investments be aligned with EA and warfighter requirements
EA outputs are aligned to investment process
EA & Funding Authority Combined 5

7. Statement of Work Attributes
SOW combines “fit for purpose” architecture development with investment decision analysis
Tasked by investment board (multiple orgs)
Contract deliverables focus on analysis products that support business decision gates
Task includes:
Requirements capture, refinement and tracking on behalf of end users
Tracking of projects in process and R&D potential
Analytic services to all decision-making stakeholders
Not a DoDAF-focused SOW 7

8. “As-Is” Architecture Components
Information organized to answer questions:
What do we have in the inventory?
What can it do?
How is it connected?
What is path/format of data?
Contains:
Searchable database of systems & attributes
Database of current worldwide mission environment
SV-1, 2 Diagrams
Not a formal DoDAF product set 8

9. “To-Be” Architecture Components
Information organized to answer questions:
What is the delta between the capability we have and what the COCOM is asking for?
How would a proposed solution fit into the current and planned enterprise? (standards, interfaces)
Contains
COCOM requirements to be met
Database of known signals by AOR
AV-1; OV-1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7; SV-1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9; TV-1
Projects in pipeline scheduled to deliver capability over FYDP, candidate research from labs 9

10. Capabilities-Based Planning Support
Shortfall report on current and planned capabilities
Mapping of proposed initiatives to COCOM requirements
Produce architecture products for CDD, CPD
Track R&D programs that will be available for SCWG transition funding to platforms
AFRL, DARPA, other IC members 12
