| | Department of Defense Intelligence Information System |
| | (DODIIS) |
| | Primary Purpose | DODIIS is a worldwide inter-computer network |
| | linking intelligence data handling systems (IDHS) |
| | of the DOD intelligence community. The network |
| | benefits from a jointly developed standard core |
| | of common intelligence processing systems. The |
| | computer based information systems sustained by |
| | DODIIS support the collection, production, and |
| | dissemination of various defense intelligence |
| | products down to the tactical Joint Task Force |
| | (JTF) Commander. The architecture is broken into |
| | five basic elements: Application Software |
| | Entity, Application Program Interface, |
| | Application Platform Entity, External Environment |
| | Interface, and External Environment. These |
| | elements are used to manage and access defense |
| | intelligence assets throughout the world. DODIIS |
| | defines the standards that ensure |
| | interoperability of current and future |
| | intelligence systems and applications. |
| | Sub-Functions | DODIIS uses a variety of communications |
| | sub-networks to achieve the desired connectivity |
| | between user locations. The DODIIS concept |
| | provides, within limits, an integrated tactical |
| | and strategic user environment for performing |
| | identical intelligence support functions on |
| | compatible systems. The DODIIS community uses |
| | the Joint Worldwide Intelligence Communications |
| | System (JWICS) portion of Defense Information |
| | System Network (DISN). |
| | Equipment Requirements | The DODIIS network uses UNIX-based equipment and |
| | associated peripherals. The network can also be |
| | supported using Commercial-off-the-shelf |
| | (COTS)/Government-off-the-shelf (GOTS) hardware |
| | and software. There have been recent upgrades to |
| | Windows NT and/or Sun Solaris. |
| | Connectivity Requirements | DODIIS uses Stand Alone Tools: Independent |
| | support applications that are activated on the |
| | user's desktop or by system calls. Integrated |
| | Tools: Support applications that are used by |
| | other intelligence mission applications or |
| | support applications to provide specific |
| | functionality to the calling application through |
| | a standard support contract, namely the System |
| | Acquisition and Services Support (SASS) Contract. |
| | Crypto Requirements | The DODIIS network is classified and requires |
| | proper and pre-authorized access codes. SCI |
| | levels must be properly encrypted while genser |
| | levels must have the appropriate level devices. |
| | Normal Locations | DODIIS terminals are normally found in |
| | intelligence sections and SCIFs and classified |
| | work areas both shore-based and afloat. Unified |
| | Commands, Services, theater intelligence centers |
| | and various intelligence agencies. |
| | Information Managed | DODIIS is a computer based intelligence data |
| | handling system, which manages defense |
| | intelligence assets throughout the world. User systems support collection, production, and dissemination of various intelligence products. |
| Products Created | The DODIIS network facilitates the processing of |
| a variety of intelligence products to include |
| information from imagery exploitation, ELINT, |
| COMINT, and HUMINT. Other supported products |
| include intelligence data such as indications and |
| warning, order of battle, electronic warfare, |
| installation data development, target material |
| production, target data development, and |
| scientific and technical intelligence. Products |
| include archived digitized images, overlays, and |
| special support products relating to all service |
| components as well as textual information. |
| Lead Service/Contractor | Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA). |
| Current Fielding Status | Operational with ongoing improvements. |
| Known Problems | Due to the number of different C4I systems DODIIS |
| supports, interoperability remains the major |
| problem. |
| DIICOE Compliance Rating | Not rated. |
