ENTERPRISE INFRASTRUCTURE TRACKS
IT Consolidation
In August 2010, the Secretary of Defense directed the consolidation of IT infrastructure to achieve savings in acquisition, sustainment, and manpower costs and to improve the DoD’s ability to execute its missions while defending its networks against growing cyber threats. In response, the Information Technology Enterprise Strategy and Roadmap (ITESR) identified opportunities to consolidate DoD IT infrastructure through twenty-six initiatives in five functional areas: Network Services, Computing Services, Application & Data Services, End-User Services, and IT Business Processes. Each initiative contributes to one or more of the IT Enterprise goals—increase mission effectiveness, improve cyber security, and deliver efficiencies.
This presentation will describe the Near Term Implementation Plan, which focuses on eight Near-Term Initiatives, the working groups current efforts, and the way ahead to meeting the DoD CIO's required deliverable.

Communications in Disasters
Providing absolutely dependable service delivery to warfighters at the tactical edge requires that all communications systems in use are fully integrated and interoperable. DISA is committed to ensuring that warfighters get the assured service delivery at the tactical edge. As complex and challenging as wartime scenarios can be, disasters normally present a greater communications challenge. In addition to the increased number of participating entities (e.g. local law enforcement, other agencies, etc.), disasters are commonly completely unpredictable and combine a wide range of event types with varying extent of damage to existing infrastructure and assets. DISA recognizes that, in most cases, disaster relief communications is a superset of wartime communications requirements. Therefore, by focusing on interoperability and integration of disaster relief communications systems, we are necessarily also solving the communications challenges for the warfighter at the tactical edge, as well as enhancing U.S. national security.
DISN Transport Network Evolution and Enablers
To support this new generation of DISN IP Transport services, our deployed optical transport layer technologies need to adapt to provide higher capacity, extended reach, enhanced flexibility and greater transparency. Elimination of Legacy ATM and TDM technologies are the hallmark of near-term DISN Transport Architectures. This talk focuses on the architecture needed to eliminate older DISN Transport technologies and implement new 100G DWDM, Multi-Degree ROADM, and Switched IP/Ethernet technologies. We will also explore new fiber technologies required to support this evolution over the next decade
Integrated Waveform (IW)
Revolutionary new capability for UHF SATCOM, consisting of a software upgrade to existing UHF SATCOM radios that will allow for up to three times more accesses in addition to a marked improvement in voice quality. UHF satellite communications (SATCOM) is essential for deployed warfighters dues to its ability to offer communications in all weather and under dense cover. Current UHF SATCOM constellation is heavily oversubscribed, and that situation is expected to worsen as the constellation continues to age. The IW DAMA upgrade will increase capacity efficiencies, offering additional networks, as well as an increase in voice quality and dynamic assignment of bandwidth.
Gateways
The Defense Information Systems Agency is implementing Department of Defense Teleport System. The system will integrate, manage, and control a variety of communications interfaces between the Defense Information System Network (DISN) terrestrial and tactical satellite communications (SATCOM) assets at a single point of presence. The Teleport System is a telecommunications collection and distribution point that provides deployed warfighters with multiband, multimedia, and worldwide reach-back capabilities to the DISN that far exceeds current capabilities. Teleport is an extension of the Standardized Tactical Entry Point (STEP) program, which currently provides reach-back for deployed warfighters via the Defense Satellite Communications System (DSCS) X-band satellites.
