Our Standards Process

•

Principles

– Openness • standards are developed in an open process – Consensus • standards are based upon the consensus of the parties involved (industry consensus is critical to adoption) – Timely & deterministic process • insures timely & predictable delivery of standards – Public and global availability of published standards – No legal impediment to implementation or adoption – Confidentiality during development (until published) Distro A, Approved for Public Release NAVAIR 2014-088 5

The Open Group Way

A consortium formed under the auspices of The Open Group (i.e., DirecNet attributes: ® and FACE ™ ) will be a “Voluntary Consensus Standards Body” as defined by the Nat’l Tech. Transfer Act and OMB Circular A-119 with the following  Openness  Balance of interest  Due process  An appeals process  Consensus * OMB A-119 is an enabler for Government participation in standards initiatives 7

Our Approach to DoD Open Standards

• Collaborative, consensus-based standards – Industry & Government collaboration • DirecNet ® & FACE ™ Examples – Multi-Service to reduce duplication and attract Industry participation • Procurement plans for the standard are communicated to Industry – Ideally funded by member dues (skin in the game) – Adopt & Adapt/collaborate vs. re-invent – Open standard and architecture – Both Technical and Business guidance – Conformance certification for assurance Distro A, Approved for Public Release NAVAIR 2014-088

FACE Approach

The FACE approach is a government-industry software standard and business strategy to: • Acquire affordable software systems • • Rapidly integrate portable capabilities across global defense programs Attract innovation and deploy it quickly and affordably 10

Why FACE Initiative?

11 • • DoD Airborne systems are typically developed for a unique set of requirements by a single vendor – Long lead times, even for urgent needs – Platform-unique designs limit reuse of software and increase cost – Creates barriers to competition within and across platforms Current DoD Acquisition structure does not support the process of software reuse across different programs – Aviation community has not adopted a common set of Open Architecture (OA) standards sufficient to allow the reuse of software components across the DoD fleet – Aviation community has failed to enforce conformance to any existing open standards that are in use – Platform PMAs are not funded to assume cost or schedule risk of multi platform requirements The Future Airborne Capability Environment (FACE) initiative is an response approach to the DoD aviation community’s problems designed as a

How FACE Initiative is Different From Previous DoD OA Efforts

• • • • FACE initiative is addressing business aspects in parallel with development of the Technical Standard – Analyzed previous OA efforts – – – Developed FACE Business Guide Establish FACE Library to provide the infrastructure necessary to enable the discovery and acquisition of FACE Conformant products • Enables the software supplier to control the flow of information Standard defined in sufficient detail to allow robust conformance certification program Public-Private collaboration to establish value for both customer and supplier – Government owns/manages the data rights to interfaces – Protects Industry investment by allowing retention of IP to the business logic of the capability Designed as platform and hardware agnostic – Allows for unprecedented scale of reuse across multiple platforms with unique implementations Aggressive outreach by both Industry and Government – Build executive interest and adoption from the bottom up – 2 Contract Awards (Navy), 4 RFPs (Navy), 11 RFIs (4 Navy, 4 Army, 3 SOCOM), 2 BAAs (1 Army, 1 ONR), 4 Sources Sought (2 Navy, 2 Army) 3 SBIRs (1 Navy, 2 Army) * * Please refer to www.fbo.gov

FACE Objectives

• • • • Establish a standard common operating environment to support portable capability-based applications across Department of Defense (DoD) avionics systems – Determine a strict set of Open Standards for the environment – Build upon Open Architecture (OA), Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA) and Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) – Portable, Modular, Partitioned, Scalable, Extendable, Secure Reduce life cycle costs and time to field Obtain Industry and DoD Program Management endorsement Facilitate conformance with standards to maximize interoperability between applications within the avionics system 13

How Does Our Approach Help You?

• Rapid formation is possible, since barriers have been removed – Legal, Governance, IT and standards process infrastructure in place – Expert staff support in place – Trusted neutral 3 rd Party – Trusted Global Standards Body – Build on Open Group, FACE and DirecNet best practices, work products and infrastructure – Leverage all business and technical work products and add SOSA 17 • • • • • Low cost compared to other funded options Focus on your mission from Day 1 instead of formation and governance Build on an existing standard that has been built by roughly the same cos. & service branches Create an enduring organization with government/industry partnership Procure products that are certified conformant to a standard

Resources Needed for Success

18 • • • • • Commitment to Procure Conformant Products – Communicated by Gov’t to Industry Commitment for Government/Industry collaboration to create the standard(s), business strategy, Conformance Requirements, and Contract Guidance – All industry (large & small cos. in supply chain) Adopt/Adapt from existing reputable/relevant standards – No one standard will solve your entire problem Commitment of Funding via consortium member dues – Needs to support the work – Program Manager, supporting staff Commitment of People (the real investment with payoff) – Subject Matter Experts • Architects, Engineers, Business and Contract Professionals, etc.

– – – – – Leaders for Business & Technical Teams Executive Sponsorship Outreach/Promotion • To create demand for the standard • To educate end users Travel to meetings Time to contribute and work between meetings

DirecNet Network Management Fundamental Tenets

• • • • Our going in position: The last thing the world needs is yet another one-trick-pony network manager DirecNet does not require an external (theater-scale) network manager, but can leverage one if available Workload is a significant issue; must automate as much as possible – When the system makes a decision, operator is informed and can override (only) if needed Build upon a layered architecture for closed-loop adaptive control – Abstracted – Automated Centralized Direction, Decentralized Execution Distro A, Approved for Public Release NAVAIR 2014-088 30

http://www.opengroup.org/face

Benefits of Abstracted / Automated Approach

• • • • Reduce manpower requirements Improve mission responsiveness Simplifies the Network Management process/function Abstract the mission planning/management from the device management Asset Equipment / Capability + Asset Laydown = Topology Topology + Mission Objectives + Data Needs = Network Plan Network Plan + Mission Execution + Automation = Mission Success 31

DirecNet Network Management Approach

32 • Use of digital policy management to disseminate Commanders’ Intent and operational needs – Abstracted: DirecNet Nodes will have a Policy Management Entity to translate policy into device-specific configuration – Automated: Adapts dynamically to changing situations within the bounds of the policy-induced constraints • Anomalies, conditions changes, mission phases, etc.

• The DirecNet NMS can be a part of an overall Theater Area Network Management System (TANMS) – The TANMS will maintain a view of the overall heterogeneous Theater Area Network and will provide the DirecNet NMS with high-level policy input – DirecNet NMS can operate in the absence of the TANMS • Use a standards-based approach for longevity, scalability, and affordability
