Emerging

– Upgradeability Should be a Concern

– May be Implemented but Not in Lieu of Mandated Standard

– Expected to be Mandated within Three Years Mandated

– Essential for Interoperability and Net-Centric Services in DoD

– Minimum Set of Essential Standards for the Acquisition of All DoD Systems that Produce, Use, or Exchange Info, and, When Implemented, Facilitates the Flow of Info in Support of Warfighter

– Sunset Tag Identifies an Event and Date to Retire a Standard Inactive / Retired

– New Standards / Technology Now Available and Implemented– Require Waiver and Migration Plan – Remain in the Registry

DISR Configuration Management Scheduled Review of Standards

Standards are Periodically Reviewed– To Reconfirm Status in the Standards Lifecycle– Investigate Alternative Technologies and Follow-

Ons Emerging Standards

– Reviewed Annually– Expected to be Mandated within Three Years -- or

Replace with New Technology Mandated Standards

– Reconfirmd Every Three Years– Still Support Interoperability and Net-Centric

Services? – Identify Replacement Standard?

Standards Waiver Policy TV-1s are Required to Include All Applicable Mandated Standards

Emerging and Non-Cited Standards will Either:– Require a Waiver OR – For CPDs or Stage II ISPs

A DISR Change Request Can Be Submitted to Mandate the Emerging or Non-Cited Standard (Note: If the Standard is Not Mandated by the Next Milestone Update, then a Waiver Will be Required at that Time.)

Retired Standards Require a Waiver

Only the Component Acquisition Executive, Component CIO, or Cognizant Official Can Grant a Waiver For the Use of Emerging, Retired and Non-Cited Standards

All Waivers Shall be Submitted to ASD(NII)/DoD CIO for Concurrence– Mission Critical/Mission Essential & ACAT also go to USD(AT&L)

FY09 Initiatives – IT STANDARDS Activity/Deliverable:

IC/DoD Standards Harmonization– Delivered a copy of DISR to DNI for the IC on JWICS

(now operational) ICSR– Implementation of a Governance for IC Standards

– Implementation of a IC Standards integrated process for IC and DoD organizations

– Evolve Policy, Process, and System Engineering guidance into support mechanisms

– Integrate ICSR and DISR

– IC Data Standards Coordination Activity is a Technical Working Group of ITSC

Supporting the IM/IT Strategic Plan Goal 5: Return on Investment (OMB A-130, EA)Objective 5.4.1. Develop DoD Architecture Framework V2.0 to support the Department’s net-

centric strategies and satisfy the information requirements of major decision processes.

FY09 Initiatives – IT STANDARDS

Description: IC and DoD IT Standards registries will:– Prescribe the Minimal Set of IT and NSS Standards

needed to achieve Interoperable IT and NSS Net-Centric capabilities and decision superiority in support of Net-centricity and the warfighters.

– Developers and managers must find, reference, and incorporate large numbers of standards and specifications from multiple sources with complex applicability rules.

– Currently, IC and DoD users have a Standards registry on separate networks they use to search and discover standards by which they design and develop their Programs.

– To ensure interoperability, a integration of the ICSR and DISR must occur.

– Harmonization (synchronize) standards and profiles will occur in FY09

Measures: Users using Profiles and Standards.
