- 6.4 SYSTEM TESTING AND CERTIFICATION AS “CYBERSPACE COMPLIANT”
- 6.6 INDUSTRY OUTREACH
6.3 SYSTEM INTEGRATIONIntegration, testing, and certification of backplane as “Cyberspace compliant” are the responsibility of COMSPAWARSYSCOM, in close coordination with CNNWC and other stakeholders through the Backplane Working Group. Integration of weapons, sensor, platforms, C2, and support systems into the backplane is the responsibility of the cognizant SYSCOM, guided by the Cyberspace standards and protocols developed by SPAWAR90 as Chief Engineer and approved by the ESG. The System Integration Working Group serves as the primary coordination forum for system integration. ASN (RDA) resolves issues associated with system integration into the backplane. The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center (SPAWAR) continually investigates the advisability of contracting for an industry Lead Systems Integrator for their capability areas. Standards and protocols are relied upon to the maximum extent practical to achieve integration of weapons, sensors, platforms, and support systems into the backplane. However, a significant amount of “system of systems” engineering will be required to implement Cyberspace, especially with respect to legacy systems. In order to address these challenges, the program office developed a phased plan to migrate its primary network programs into a single overarching program called Consolidated Afloat Networks and Enterprise Services, or CANES.91. Figure 6.1 depicts how the systems integration strategy can be tailored for legacy and new systems, considering also the adequacy of commercial standards to meet the integration need. 
Figure 6. 1: Tailored System Engineering Strategy92 Cyberspace represents an unprecedented system of systems engineering challenge that will require the most modern and flexible processes. To meet this challenge, a Virtual Environment (VE) and a Collaborative Engineering (CE) process shall be used. Figure 6.2 depicts the overall process.   
Figure 6.2: Virtual and Collaborative Engineering93 The Virtual Environment94 (VE), consisting of the NAVAIR ACETEF, NAVSEA Distributed Engineering Plant (DEP), the Joint DEP, JFCOM test/demo facilities, Service labs, and commercial labs provide a cost-effective environment for system of system design and testing. The VE consists of both replicated and simulated systems and connectivity. ASN (RDA) coordinates the development and funding of the Cyberspace VE with the SYSCOMs. The Collaborative Engineering process consists of organizations, processes, and the enabling information technology to facilitate collaboration. The Integrated Project Team (IPT) provides the organizational building block. It is envisioned that an IPT will be formed for each Warfare Capability, led by a representative from the cognizant SYSCOM and consisting of representatives from all SYSCOMS, PEOs, contractors, and users. Collaboration tools will be used to enable virtual IPT meetings.
Continuous configuration management (CM) gives the Navy the ability to maintain interoperability and integration as the backplane, weapons, and sensors evolve. As the cyberspace Chief Engineer, SPAWARSYSCOM, maintains the central database of backplane, weapon, and sensor configuration requirements and configurations. All PEOs and PMs are required to provide input to the CM database and to inform SPAWAR if they become aware configuration conflicts. If necessary, ASN (RDA) will resolve the issue based on the advice of the Cyberspace Chief Engineer and other stakeholders. 6.6 INDUSTRY OUTREACHWhile Cyberspace is not a traditional acquisition program, industry will play several key roles in its success. First, the Defense and especially the commercial IT industry can serve as a source for the information-sharing standards, protocols, and tools needed to achieve Cyberspace’s integration goals. Where adequate standards have not evolved in the commercial realm, it may be possible to develop them collaboratively between government and industry, to the benefit of both. Secondly, the system-of-system engineering expertise of industry is needed to integrate those parts of the Cyberspace system architecture, especially legacy systems, where promulgation of standards and protocols does not suffice. Finally, industry is the primary source of the technology and tools (e.g., communications gateways, data fusion applications) to achieve the desired level of system integration. To the maximum extent possible, these systems should be “commercial off the shelf” (COTS) or “government off the shelf” (GOTS). To facilitate this essential collaboration with industry, the SIWG, in coordination with the Cyberspace Implementation Office, holds periodic industry days and other venues.
