• The Army’s tactical System-of-Systems (SoS) challenge• The CTSF: SoS integration and testing• Applying System Engineering (SE) to SoS• CTSF-initiated SoS SE pilot
UNCLASSIFIED
UNCLASSIFIED The Army’s Tactical System-of-Systems (SoS) Challenge
• Many individual Program Managers (PMs)– Geographically distributed
across CONUS– Many systems that must
interoperate: currently 80+• Complex tactical network
architecture• Lack of Army-wide SoS
engineering– Requirements and standards– Architecture– Documentation
Army cannot afford to defer discovery and remediation of SoS problems to final SoS baseline integration and test!

Testing SoS Interoperability: A Complex Challenge
UNCLASSIFIED
UNCLASSIFIED
To become a customer valued organization ensuring the best interoperable net-centric C4I capabilities are available to US Army, Joint and Coalition
Warfighters.
CTSF Vision
The CTSF provides a uniquescalable environment, withskilled personnel, using qualifiedprocesses to support the DoD’snet-enabled strategic vision byexecuting configuration management, systems of systems integration,and interoperability certification testing for Army and Joint C4I providers.
CTSF Mission

CTSF-Initiated SoS SE Process Pilot• Assess the current tactical system baseline in light of the SoS SE
guide:– Artifact Gap analysis– Process Gap analysis– Prototype artifacts for the SoS level
• Develop recommendations for ASA(ALT) and PEO SoS SE efforts– How could we improve the development of future SoS baselines?– How might CTSF be involved?
• Develop recommendations for refining the SoS SE guide based on the assessment and SoS integration experience
