SBA Status Report, Sep 01

Excerpt from Mr. Olson’s Status Report on SBA to theGov. Electronics & Info. Tech. Association, Sep 01

• On SBA Infrastructure

•"No one [program] wants to buy the infrastructure" (RDEC federationquote)

•Developing the key cross- cutting enablers is being neglected withinDoD

•Almost all the money is within individual acquisition programs, whohave no motivation to be altruistic regarding larger DoD needs

•Framework provides a viable tool to support next steps

•A systems engineering approach is needed to complete the frameworkand move to capability

Historical Background/Accomplishments

• January 2001, ASA(ALT) Directed PEO IEW&S(JPSD) to Build the JVB.

• October 2001, ASA(ALT) Recognized JVB’s Potential to Support FCS’Acquisition Process. Also, ASA(ALT) Reaffirmed the Army Need to Havethe JVB Capability to Support S&T Activities for OF.

• November 2001, the First Instance of the JVB Environment WasDemonstrated to OFTF.

• December 2001, FCS and TRAC Initiated Plans to Conduct a Phase IIC4ISR Study to Support FCS Milestone B. The JVB Was Identified As aRequired Capability.

• Early February 2002, JVB Demonstrated to DUSA(OR).

• February 2002, JVB Adjusted It’s Development Path and Schedule toEnsure an Instance of the JVB Capability Will Be in Place to Answer theIssues Proposed in the AoA Area 7.

• June 2001- April 2002, Dr. Andrews, DASA-RT, Recognizes JVB on threeoccasions while presenting testimony to congressional committees.

• An Instance of JVB Will Be Ready for Scenario Loading in Sep 02 tosupport the FCS AoA Area 7.

DASA-RT on JVB

• Dr. Andrews, DASA-RT, Recognizes JVB on three occasions whilepresenting testimony to congressional committees.

– 5 Jun 01 to Senate Armed Services Committee - Subcommittee onEmerging Threats and Capabilities

– 26 June 01 to House Armed Services Committee - Subcommittee onMilitary Research and Development

– 10 Apr 02 to Senate Armed Services Committee - Subcommittee onEmerging Threats and Capabilities

• Advanced Simulation: … the Joint Virtual Battlespace, (JVB) program, isan enabling technology for evaluating how FCS contributes to the totalcapability of the Objective Force, and how the Objective Force plays in a jointforce. JVB, combined with virtual prototyping, also could provide an effectivemeans for performing Operational Test and Evaluation without the need fornumerous hardware test articles. This could result in significant time andfinancial savings in the Army Acquisition Process.

•Almost all the money is within individual acquisition programs, who have nomotivation to be altruistic regarding larger DoD needs – ASA(ALT) RecognizedThis in the Vision for JVB and Has Taken Steps to Fund It for Broad Use

•Framework provides a viable tool to support next steps – On the Path toEstablish the Framework

•A systems engineering approach is needed to complete the framework andmove to capability – Fully Agree and Will Participate With Other Members of theCommunity
