2. CIO/G-6 Vision
Event:
YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ
Vision
The Network must be capable, reliable, and trusted. To get there it has to be a single, secure, and standards-based environment that ensures access at the point of need and enables global collaboration.
Mission
Lead LandWarNet transformation to deliver timely, trusted, and shared information. Create an environment where innovation and service empowers Army and mission partners through an unsurpassed responsive, collaborative, and trusted information enterprise.

3. Context of the Enterprise Architecture
Event:
YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ
Context of the Enterprise Architecture
What it is:
A design focused translation of the Army Network Strategy
Strategic level guidance on how LandWarNet will be designed and configured to meet the ‘ends’ described in the strategy
Aligned with the DoD IEA v2.0
What it says:
Sets required architectural characteristics on how the Network will be built between now and 2020
Focuses on all aspects of the network – transport, computing, enterprise services, mission applications, end-user devices, and mission assurance
Decomposes the LWN strategy and provides structure for understanding, designing, building and maintaining components
What it achieves:
Assures that IT investments and other decisions are aligned with the Army Network Strategy
Informs all LandWarNet stakeholders of required architectural characteristics and technical standards
Identifies the architectural characteristics of LandWarNet that are required to achieve the vision.
Provides overarching architectural characteristics for transforming the network
Inform ‘down-stream’ architecture development efforts such as Enterprise Reference Architectures and ASA(ALT) System Architectures
Identify the architectural characteristics of LandWarNet that are required to achieve the vision.

Event:
CIO/G-6 Architecture Development
YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ
The LandWarNet Enterprise Architecture addresses IT standards and the Common Operating Environment.
Enterprise Reference Architectures provide timely architectural guidance that is applied to, and supports, a business objective of the Army.
Reference Architectures follow a rules-based methodology that organizes architecture data around operational and system rules to solve a specific problem set or enable a specific capability.
The rules-based approach produces architecture information that is clear and understandable, and enables accurate and relevant policy, investment, and acquisition decisions.
The intent of this approach is to guide and synchronize Army investment and acquisition decisions, enable the standardization of LandWarNet materiel solutions.

5. Technical Standards and COE v3.0
Event: PSM Luncheon
Technical Standards and COE v3.0
1 October 2014
Proactive standards baseline development
New Army CIO/G-6 process
Informs industry on current and future Army direction
COE v3.0 standards baseline (StdV-1) approved 31 July 2014
Shorter compliance testing and validation process
Reuse artifacts created throughout to create final package
Based on CIO/G-6 standards and architectures
Testing process being finalized
Waivers are submitted thru PEOs and PMs to CIO/G-6
To meet operational requirements, LWN 2020 and beyond, “has to be a single, secure, standards-based environment that ensures access at the point of need and enables global collaboration.”
Commercial standards enable our industry partners to support our efforts
Army standards profile guidance for COEv3.0 approve by CIO/G-6 on 31 Jul 2014
Provides the standards baseline that apply to all systems integrated into COEv3.0
Includes a list of Army technical standards (StdV-1), standards profiles, and methodology description
PEOs and PMs must comply with mandated DISR standards and the standards listed in the COEv3.0 standards profile guidance per AR 25-1
Directly impacts industry partner designs in support of COEv3.0
Waivers against this requirement are submitted to the CIO/G-6 by PEOs and PMs
Standards and architectures provide the Army CIO/G-6 with a criteria to perform compliancy validation testing on all systems to be implemented into COE
Testing strategy is being finalized between ASA(ALT), CIO/G-6, and US Army Test and Evaluation Command
Industry solutions being integrated by the PMs and PEOs will be tested to ensure compliance

7. Summary
The Army CIO/G6 envisions a single, secure, and standards-based network in the future.
The LandWarNet Enterprise Architecture and Reference Architectures identify the minimum architectural characteristics of the network that are required to achieve the vision.
The rules-based approach produces architecture information that timely, and enables accurate and relevant policy, investment, and acquisition decisions.
The intent is to guide and synchronize Army investment and acquisition decisions, enable the standardization of LandWarNet materiel solutions.
