Download or read book Information technology DOD needs to improve process for ensuring interoperability of telecommunications switches written by and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2002 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: See report DOD does not have a well-defined process, including clear requirements, for certifying and authorizing telecommunications (telecom) switches. DOD's process is not fully documented, current, or complete. Additionally, the process lacks an effective enforcement mechanisms. As a result, DOD is increasing the risk that its certification and authorization process will be applied inconsistently and that the department's telecommunications will experience future interoperability problems. DOD attributed these weaknesses to the fact that the process is relatively new and still evolving. Further, DOD has not applied its telecom switch certification and authorization process consistently across vendors, and it has in some cases violated the department's interoperability policy. For example, while the Army required one vendor to remove its uncertified switch from one location, it allowed another vendor to install its uncertified switch at two locations, which violated the policy. However, in reviewing this and other examples of DOD's application of the interoperability certification and authorization process, GAO did not find that contracting laws and regulations had been violated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In November 1992, the Department of Defense (DOD) issued a policy requiring systems to be interoperable. In May 2000, the department began to enforce this policy for telecommunications (telecom) switches, requiring them to be tested and certified for interoperability before being installed within the DOD network. DOD does not have a well-defined process, including clear requirements, for certifying and authorizing telecom switches. The process is not fully documented, current, or complete and DOD has not applied its telecom switch certification and authorization process consistently across vendors, and sometimes violated policy. DOD's application of its telecom switch certification and authorization process is influencing vendors' plans for competing for the department's business. One of five vendors GAO interviewed stated that it has stopped doing business with DOD for economic reasons. Within DOD, positions are mixed on the impact of the department's interoperability goal on competition.

Download or read book Realizing the Potential of C4I written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1999-06-17 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rapid progress in information and communications technologies is dramatically enhancing the strategic role of information, positioning effective exploitation of these technology advances as a critical success factor in military affairs. These technology advances are drivers and enablers for the "nervous system" of the militaryâ€"its command, control, communications, computers, and intelligence (C4I) systemsâ€"to more effectively use the "muscle" side of the military. Authored by a committee of experts drawn equally from the military and commercial sectors, Realizing the Potential of C4I identifies three major areas as fundamental challenges to the full Department of Defense (DOD) exploitation of C4I technologyâ€"information systems security, interoperability, and various aspects of DOD process and culture. The book details principles by which to assess DOD efforts in these areas over the long term and provides specific, more immediately actionable recommendations. Although DOD is the focus of this book, the principles and issues presented are also relevant to interoperability, architecture, and security challenges faced by government as a whole and by large, complex public and private enterprises across the economy.
