Net Centric Enterprise Systems
R&D Experience
Extensive experience developing systems to meet secure Networking Requirements.
System Requirements Assessment, Design, Development, Testing and Accreditation
Exercise Support and Field testing Operational Deployment and Support
Flexible, Fast-paced, Iterative Development Cycle Integration and extension of COTS components Experienced in net-centric and web services focused
development Experienced in spiral development and incremental field
delivery Deep understanding of COCOM and Theatre
Requirements
Transitioning R&D toReal World OperationsNetwork Traffic Analysis System (NTAS): LocalView/TheaterView - Real Time Performance based Network Management for USFK, PACOM, SOCOM
RemoteView – One stop shopping for voice and data network performance reports for the entire CENTCOM AOR
NETWARS Interfaces – Communications Planning and Assessments for COCOMS (JFCOM, JCSE, NORTHCOM, PACOM, USFK), the Services, and Major DoD Programs (JNMS, TCA, JTRS)
Designed from the ground up as a distributed Net Centric data collection system. Currently operational with ATO.
Set of infrastructure services including a standard database, web access, web services, and internal APIs
Integrated from COTS components and standard libraries Secure Remote Management (SSH)
Collector Agents – C++ or Perl Modules that collect data from Network Elements (using SNMP, RMON2, NetFlow) or Flat Files (NetFlow Collector)Separate programs posting data to NTAS infrastructures

USSOCOM- Collecting Configuration, Performance and Traffic information on
critical SIPRNET and SCAMPI circuits for HQSOCOM and SOCCENT
USPACOM SOCPAC traffic collection and analytical support for mission

MARFORPAC and all GCCS-K circuits
Customer TestimonialsUSCENTCOM
“For the first time detailed theater-wide performance information [is] available to communicators across Southwest Asia, from my headquarters to the TCCC forward and the component commands in the Persian Gulf. This capability is being used daily to solve problems in the field and keep senior communicators informed. [The TIS] team … has made a major contribution to Operation Enduring Freedom and the War Against Terrorism.”
DENNIS C. MORANBrigadier General, US ArmyDirector of Command and ControlCommunications and Computer
SystemsUnited States Central Command
SOCCENT “…the support we got and continue to receive from your folks at DISA/TIS office is outstanding. We used the network performance analysis charts extensively. … We were proactive and able to anticipate network problems during the entire conflict. … This technology and support is worth enhancing to support future conflicts and other communication services.”
SOCCENT J6 LTC Santiago in e-mail to MG Bryan
SOCPAC“This is a great tool and exactly what we need to manage our critical circuits.” “The greatest thing since sliced bread”
Timothy A. Manning, Lt Col, USAFSOCPAC / J6
Customer Testimonials (Ctd)
CFC/UCFK“The results [using LocalView] were extremely beneficial. Of note, it allowed us to go back to the component participants, before we even completed the exercise, and clearly show them, with real time system telemetry, how their limited exercise circuits were killing us with chokepoints. As a result, we are now able to specify minimal bandwidth requirements that the components must meet for future exercises and operations.”
Colonel David A. AdamsUSFK J6Assistant Chief of Staff,C4 Systems
“It [LocalView] is enhancing our situational awareness accuracy and timeliness as well as influencing our situational understanding and ability to appropriately leverage KIG (TIG) resources; also facilitating our obligation to accurately advise the warfighter on the KIG's ability to support operations.”
COL Theodore M Mayer Chief, J6 OperationsUnited States Forces Korea
MARFORPAC “Thanks to everyone that supported us over in Korea! NTAS was a hit at the 3-star level. LtGen Gregson loved it! I must get it into our architecture permanently now. “
“This system is GREAT STUFF!!! Would like to see it replace HP OPENVIEW as the network manager in JNMS. “
Maj Eric L. Litchfield, USMCUSMARFORPAC
