Background
The DoDIIS Management Board (DMB) requested Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC) support for testing the interoperability of DoDIIS developed systems, particularly the migration systems identified by the DMB. DoDIIS systems are developed individually by the Services, funded through the General Defense Intelligence Program (GDIP), and managed by the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) through the DMB.

JITC tests DoDIIS migration systems for interoperability and certification in accordance with the guidelines by JITC and Joint Interoperability and Engineering Organization (JIEO) Circular 9002, "Requirements Assessment and Interoperability Certification of C4I and AIS Equipment and Systems." Tests determine the interoperability of DoDIIS systems with other DoDIIS, Joint, and Service systems. Most DoDIIS migration systems are Automated Information Systems (AIS) that are designed for network services and for the exchange of message traffic or textual information, imagery products, and databases. JITC reviews the requirements documents for every migration systems, identifies the functional interoperability requirements, and develops and executes specific test plans for the required interfaces.

Overview
Most initial interoperability certification testing of DoDIIS migration systems will be conducted at the Joint Integration Test Facility (JITF), Rome Laboratories, Rome, New York. By a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with Rome Laboratories, JITC will conduct its testing during integration testing (Beta 1) at the JITF. Follow-up testing for additional interfaces is conducted at Beta 2 Sites. JITC documents the results of interoperability testing in a Compatibility, Interoperability, and Integration (CII) or Continuous Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) memorandum, and the DMB uses it to support an interim fielding decision. JITC also produces a detailed test report.

The focus of interoperability testing of intelligence information systems is on the ability of systems to exchange information in sufficient time, by the designated communications means, with the accuracy required by the user to perform assigned missions. Criteria in the templates may have to be adjusted to ensure this can be tested adequately based on the requirements of the system under test.

Program Plan
JITC developed a Program Plan to serve as a "how to" guide for testing the interoperability of DoDIIS migration systems. The plan contains templates that serve as guides for JITC testers to develop detailed interoperability test plans for DoDIIS migration systems in accordance with JITC Instruction 210-85-01 "Documentation of Test and Evaluation Activities." The test procedures, criteria, and data requirements in the templates must be adjusted by the JITC tester to meet the specific needs and requirements of the systems under test. This requires the tester to research and coordinate requirements. In some cases, the criteria in the template will meet the needs for interoperability testing. However, in other instances, none of the criteria will meet the needs of the test, and the tester will have to develop unique criteria.

Dot ImageSchedule / Systems to be Tested

Approximately 40 migration systems will be tested under this program. The four categories of systems to be tested are outlined below:

  1. Message and Text Handling Systems. These include the functions of formatted message exchange and textual document exchange.
  2. Imagery and Graphic Exchange Systems. These include the functions of imagery transfer, digital mapping, graphics exchange, overlay exchange, video services, and video teleconferencing.
  3. Database Systems. These include the functions of remote database querying and full database transfer.
  4. Network Services Systems. These include the functions of electronic mail exchange, file transfer, chatter, and manual disk/tape exchange.
