Specific Experience: SDI participates as a subcontractor to EG&G, Inc. on several task orders related to the NSWC Crane EW Readiness Support Center. The Readiness Support Center is being designed, developed and implemented by the Electronic Warfare Engineering and Logistics Product Area Directorate. The RSC is an innovative alternate to current logistics and engineering support capabilities that will enable implementation of CNO and NAVSEA guidance requiring transformational logistics support change.

Major objectives of the RSC are: 1) support current and future readiness as per operational requirements; 2) enable the reduction of organizational, operational, intermediate, and depot level manning; 3) reduce on-site technical assistance; 4) minimize supply pipelines; 5) minimize false diagnosis/unnecessary testing; 6) emphasize collaboration; 7) use knowledge gained to influence future acquisitions. A core objective of the RSC business case analysis was to identify innovative changes to reduce costs while maintaining acceptable readiness levels.

NAVSEA, being the premier engineering, logistics, and maintenance support organization for EW systems, has the synergy between facilities, equipment, and experienced personnel, to provide a “one stop shop” EW support capability is unmatched in DoD or industry. The EW RSC will provide:

• Real time technical knowledge and maintenance expertise to the global/operational NAVY;
• Real time distance support maintenance, troubleshooting, and correction of EW system support issues as they occur;
• Authoritative single-source for disseminating knowledge to the right person, in the right place, at the right time in the most cost effective way;
• Support until the issue is resolved and the Warfighter is satisfied;
• Technical support of acquisitions that use lessons learned to resolve current Fleet technical support issues;
• Significantly reduce the footprint for sustainment of currently deployed systems.

The RSC concept is also being promoted to other DOD counterparts in the Air Force, Army and Marines who have met with the Navy to collaborate on the RSC on a joint service basis. As a key service provider, SDI has played a major role in several task areas that are essential to the design, development and deployment of the first RSC in NSWC Crane and future RSC implementations:

1. Research and Development Support- SDI’s team conducted research to determine the current state-of-the-art in distance support and collaborative, virtual workspace technology. SDI identified COTS products and performed a comparative functional analysis. The conclusion and recommendation indicated that the RSC required a more advanced distributed, per-peer, integrated web-based, collaborative virtual workspace environment than offered by these products. SDI then produced a set of functional specifications for building a new distance support/collaboration capability (Expert Connect).
2. Process Engineering Support- SDI’s team provided process mapping support to the Lean reengineering of EW engineering and logistics processes related to the RSC initiative. Included design of new automated approaches to process integration.
3. System Design Documentation- Created functional and design specifications for new RSC capabilities including Expert Connect, Automated XML Document Conversion, XML Repository and Output Capabilities, Event-Driven Process Automation platform.
4. Technical Data Support – Supported automated conversion of existing MIL STND work packages into new Navy XML standards (3001) to multiple outputs (PDF, HTML, etc)
5. Software Engineering, Development and Programming- Designed and developed working prototypes of ExpertConnect, Automated XML Conversion, and ContinuityNow! Included integration into RSC audio/video environment.
6. Network Support- defined requirements for equipment to support portable video conferencing over NIPRNET/SIPRNET and the integration of advanced virtual workspace capabilities over the same networks. Will install and configure at Navy site.
7. Interoperability, Test, Evaluation- Supported the submission of Instaknow development and integration platform for FAM’s and NMCI approval (on-going).
8. Training Support- Trained Navy and contractor personnel to use Instaknow development and deployment platform for reengineering EW PAD business processes. Designed/developed curriculum and course materials for RSC CONOP’s training.
9. Program Support – Provided executive/program level support to base SES and PAD management at NSWC Crane to define RSC program implementation schedule, tasks, plans and financial reporting. Wrote/developed funding requests/proposals. Analyzed and reported project status. Held program/project technical/budgetary reviews.
10. Administrative Support- Performed all required admin functions on task orders.
11. Public Affairs and Multimedia Support- Designed and developed a communication program to support RSC goals and objectives. Included interviews and discussions with relevant contributors and sponsors, design and development of multimedia presentation materials. Designed/developed graphics, video’s and printed support materials

Specific Experience: SDI was invited by CACI, Inc. who, acting as lead enterprise architect, developer, integrator, and user support, asked SDI to support this contract due to SDI’s experience in delivering solutions for retrieval of data from various disparate sources, representing that data into actionable information and automatically invoking the appropriate actions. SDI provides direct support to the System of Systems Security (SOSSEC) Consortium at Picatinny Arsenal, Picatinny, NJ. This support enabled the Arsenal to establish an enterprise architecture and operational framework for achieving the goals of the 2^nd SOSSEC Layered Defense Demonstration (LDD-2) for participating public and government emergency operations centers on the East coast.

The SOSSEC Consortium successfully planned, developed and executed this second Layered Defense Demonstration (LDD-2) on May 12, 2005. This demonstration continued to build on the success of the SOSSEC Integration Initiative, in which various universities, industries, and government officials agreed to closely collaborate and draw upon the unique technological, programmatic, and organizational capabilities of each organization to meet critical Homeland Defense (HLD), Homeland Security (HLS), and military force protection challenges. The cumulative results of the LDDs highlight SOSSEC’s ability to quickly integrate numerous, individual projects and point solutions into a cooperative, inter-networked system of systems solution that delivers new levels of capability on a regional (and ultimately national) scale.

LDD-2 successfully achieved its objectives and goals. It demonstrated a regional capability following the National Incident Management System (NIMS), as directed by the Homeland Security Presidential Directive-5 (HSPD-5) for development and administration of incident planning and response. More importantly, the demonstration highlighted the ability to share information at every level; vertically from the local/county/regional/federal levels and horizontally across geographically dispersed peer organizations via an Enterprise Architecture; an architecture that supports technology integration, expansion, and interoperability of disparate systems. This architecture successfully provided interoperability for monitoring, integrating, and distributing multiple sensor inputs, as well as inputs from the various command and control software systems already in place at each incident site and the regional EOC at Picatinny, NJ.
