Key Performance Parameters
KPP#1 Net-Ready
KPP#2 System Availability
KPP#3 Critical Incident Management
Hardware Refresh and System Enhancements & Integration
Per year = $10.37M
Lifecycle Cost = $130.68M (FY12-22)
Rationale: Maintain operational environments and services supporting those environments, address software defects, and implement approved system enhancements
Application and System Software Development
Per year = $4.24M
Lifecycle Cost = $21.21M (FY12-22)
Rationale: Provide web-based Integrated Spectrum Desktop (ISD) capability for Spectrum Capability Fusion that will integrate and serve as the single entry point for users to access GEMSIS spectrum capabilities (HNSWDO, CJSMPT, SXXIO, and Stepstone), provide interface for leveraging JSDR, AESOP, GES and Intelink services, and provide web service entry points for interfacing with additional services

8. Configuration Management Board (cont.)
GEMSIS CMB Charter signed in January 13
Delegated by JROC to provide requirements organization and oversight
Co-chaired by STRATCOM/J6 and the Joint Staff/J6 DDC4/CYBER
Ensure GEMSIS IS CDD KPP and KSA capabilities are developed within estimated development & sustainment costs
Separate body and function than GEMSIS Configuration Control Board (CCB)
CMB focused on Increment 2 requirements only
Increment 3 and beyond will be addressed in future JCIDS documents

9. Requirements Definition Package
RDP refines the IS CDD KPPs and KSAs with GEMSIS block approach
Addresses production elements specific to Increment 2
Co-developed between the operational sponsor and PMO
CMB is the validation and approval authority for RDP
CMB validates and approves block approach in Requirements Definition Package for implementing IS CDD requirements
