Global Engineering Methodology Initiative for Naval Integration and Interoperability

4 recipients will receive $2,698,000. This is a first-time earmark.

Year Enacted: 2005

Description: This effort integrated Navy Tool for Interoperability Risk Assessment (NTIRA) data with system attribute data from other authoritative sources. Systems and attributes were assigned to a mission thread by reading authoritative sources, i.e., Global Engineering Methodology Initiative for Integration and Interoperablity (GEMINII)/ForceNet Implementation Base Line (FIBL). End-to-end "interaction requirements" and dependencies were defined between the systems supporting the mission activities and C2 processes. This model measured composability and adaptability of the end-to-end system architecture in support of the mission thread and C2 process, and optimized between legacy and FORCEnet Distributed Services. An interface to M&S systems for additional modeling (performance or warfighting effects) of these threads was provided.
