 Reachback to parent companies overseas brings significant
additional capability to Australian Defence Industry including
up-skilling of Australian industry and technology transfer
5
NCW Roadmap 2007
 The NCW requirement is defined as the integration of the
information network with a series of grids (Command and
Control, Sensor and Engagement)
 Partnerships
– Defence understands that key partnerships need to be
developed in order to gain the maximum leverage to assist with the
development of its NCW capability.
– Defence’s key partners include:
 lndustry;
 Other Government Agencies; and
 Our allies, in particular the United States
and United Kingdom

NCW Roadmap - Industry Partnership
 Apart from the RPDE program, avenues in which industry
could participate in the development of an NCW capability
include:
– collaborative development in conjunction with DSTO
– concept technology demonstrators
– involvement in industry fora (for example, Australian
Defence Industry Electronic Systems Association
[ADIESA])
– experimentation to develop the human
dimension of NCW
7
National Capabilities
 Both the NCW and ISR Roadmaps identify other
Government Agencies as partners. These would include:
–
–
–
–
–
–
PM and C
Customs & Immigration
AFP and State Police Forces
Australian Intelligence Community
Transport
Emergency Services
 The ISR Roadmap states a requirement to ‘improve the
exchange of ISR information with allies and partners’. This
has many implications, including for industry which has the
expertise to make this happen.
8
National ISR Capability Partners
 Industry partnership is a critical element in realising the NCW
and ISR Roadmaps.
 A starting point is to engage industry on how it can help. The
USN ISR Roadmap gives an indication of this. The Roadmap
identifies the technology gaps that need to be filled by
industry.
9

Challenges – How Industry Can Help
Sensor Mix/Adaptability
Platforms
– Multi-INT Podded Sensors

DEF 7013 – JISS
JP 2025 – JORN Upgrade
JP 2044 – Space Based Surveillance
JP129 - Tactical UAV
JP 2096 – ISR Integration Backbone
Air 5077 – AWACS
Air 5276 – AP-3C Sustainment
Air 7000 Phase 1B – Maritime UAV
Air 7000 Phase 2B – Maritime Patrol Aircraft Replacement
Land 146 – Combat ID
 Total of about $9B (depending on assumptions)
– Much of this will be platform related
11
Industry Implications
 Many new platforms will also have strong ISR capabilities
 Challenge will be to offload the information, process,
exploit and disseminate it to tactical and strategic users
 This is a deficiency in Australia
 The US approach is to use Distributed Common Ground
System (DCGS) now known as the DI2E Framework
 DCGS/DI2E is a significant capability
12
Industry Implications
 Current ISR capabilities (eg AP-3C, Wedgetail, SuperHornet) would be greatly enhanced by a ‘DCGS like’
capability
 New ISR capabilities, particularly Air 6000, Air 7000, Sea
4000 will demand a ‘DCGS Like’ capability
 An AFHQ Trial is currently in progress to inform on possible
solutions
 But, green field system development may be unnecessary as
US system development can be leveraged.
13
Background on US DCGS / DIB
 US Department of Defense intelligence community
requirements:
–Provide tactical intelligence to combat forces in real time – cross domain
–Break down barriers between systems to create a common access point
 US Air Force Distributed Common Ground System (DCGS)
was first to migrate to a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)
 Evolved into the DCGS Integration Backbone (DIB)
 DIB became the DoD-owned standard for data sharing
–Adopted by Army DCGS community in 2006
–Adopted by DCGS-IC program office in 2009
14
Evolution to DI2E
 Today
– Distributed Common Ground Systems (DCGS) – Air Force and Army
– Defense Information Intelligence Enterprise (DI2E) – Southcom JIOC-IT
 These capabilities have been expanded with:
– Enhanced scalability
– Improved analytics
– Secure integration of mobile technologies
 Software solutions designed to run on existing
hardware
– Leverage existing infrastructure, maximize current investments
15
Next Generation Information Solutions
 DCGS Integration Backbone (DIB) – the foundation for
today’s operational enterprise solutions
– Created to solve the problem of “data sharing” across multiple systems
 The Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence is now
extending DCGS to include new partners under DI2E
program
– Integrates IC data into the enterprise while modernising the SOA framework
 Extensive R&D over past 4 years
– Developed software technologies to extend investments currently being made
under the DI2E program – DI2E+
Open source Cloud computing and advanced analytics to overcome
DIB and DI2E architecture limitations

Enterprise Scalability and Analytics
• Information enterprises require scalable architectures
• Advanced analytics needed as data sets grow exponentially
• Faster data ingest rates needed keep up with new data sources

Issues Identified
 Consideration of how much engagement with industry has
occurred in the ISR domain, particularly with experimentation is
needed
 How should partnerships be further developed between
Government and industry?
– What partnerships exist with industry overseas and what works?
 Networking of non-traditional ISR assets will be an essential task.
 A ‘DCGS like’ capability and information backbone will be an
essential element of a networked capability (Defence, other
Government agencies and Allies).
 State Police and Emergency Service Agencies are already moving
to acquire mobile DCGS Like capabilities.
25
Actions and Initiatives
 What more should be done to improve connectivity between
Government agencies and how could this be achieved?
 What role should Australian Industry have in this?
 Technology is changing rapidly. Technology change is faster
than the traditional acquisition cycle.
 DI2E+ type technologies will reduce manpower requirements
and bandwidth.
 Open Source, Open Standards and Service Orientated
Architecture will deliver a cheaper product and may change
the acquisition model.
 Leveraging Allied lessons learned is a smart way forward.
