FCS Network - Standards Layer
The Standards Layer is the foundation of the FCS (BCT) network. It provides the governance for which the other layers are shaped and formed. The FCS (BCT) network will conform to the standards documentation to ensure that the net-centric attributes (flexible, adaptable distributed computing environment) are in place to move into the net-centric environment as part of a service-oriented architecture in the GIG.
Information needs, information timeliness, information assurance, and net-ready attributes provide overarching guidance to ensure the technical exchange of information and the end-to-end operational effectiveness. Conformance to these standards permits seamless interoperability with combined and coalition forces for all National Security Systems (NSS) and Information Technology (IT) systems.
DoD Directive 4630.5 and DoD Instruction 4630.8 and DoD 5000 series state that Interoperability is "the ability to provide and accept data, information, materiel, and services" and further state "...includes both the technical exchange of information and the end-to-end operational effectiveness of that exchange, as required for mission accomplishment." The FCS (BCT) Network will conform to DISA standards that ensure end-to-end interoperability testing & Network Testing.
Interoperability is the ability of systems, units or forces to provide data, information, materiel and services to and accept the same from other systems, units or forces and to use the data, information, materiel and services so exchanged to enable them to operate effectively together. Information technology and National Security Systems interoperability includes both the technical exchange of information and the end-to-end operational effectiveness of that exchanged information as required for mission accomplishment. Interoperability is more than just information exchange. It includes systems, processes, procedures, organizations and missions over the life cycle and must be balanced with information assurance. Information Assurance are measures that protect and defend information and information systems by ensuring their availability, integrity, authentication, confidentiality, and non-repudiation. Information assurance includes providing for restoration of information systems by incorporating protection, detection, and reaction capabilities.
The FCS (BCT) Network will adhere to CJCSI 3170.01D, Capabilities Integration and Development System and CJCSM 3170.01, Operation of the Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System that established Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS) with NR KPP for Capstone Requirements Document (CRD), Capability Development Document (CDD), and Capability Production Document (CPD).
