Background:
Navanti is seeking a Command Network Systems Analyst to serve in a program that will support the North Atlantic Treaty Organizations (NATO) Allied Command Transformation (ACT) NATOs leading agent for change: driving facilitating and advocating the continuous improvement of Alliance capabilities to maintain and enhance the military relevance and effectiveness of the Alliance. The main objectives of ACT are providing appropriate support to NATO missions and operations; leading NATO military transformation; improving relationships interaction and practical cooperation with partners nations and international organizations. ACT therefore leads Alliance concept development capability development training and lessons learned initiatives and provides unfettered military support to policy development within NATO.
As part of an adapted organizational structure ACT is in the process of implementing an improved capability requirements capture process including the traceability of requirements to ensure a clear separation between the requirements owner and the solution provider. This process will provide through life traceability of the requirements using an efficient change management process. ACT will be responsible for tasks such as capability requirements definition requirements management systems engineering architecture development holistic through lifecycle management capability acceptance Capability Program Plan (CPP) development and management for a number of capabilities including Core Services Core Communications Cyberspace and various Communications and Information Systems (CIS) capabilities).
The outputs of the adapted structure are formed from requirements portfolio program and project management principles and practices that enable the direction of capability programs and a range of projects in a transparent through lifecycle capability approach. They include comprehensive traceable capability requirements that have been assessed and analyzed for alternative solutions and quality assured to provide interoperability and the delivery of multidomain and C2 and ISR focused programs.
The HQ SACT Communications and Information Services (CIS) Branch under CAPDEV requires support for the NCNPCIS Support contractor to progress the NATO Command Network Project. The Digital Backbone is a critical asset for the overall NATO Digital Transformation and is a prerequisite for the of MultiDomain Operations. The NATO Command Network Project is the strategic and operational level command network connecting the NATO Command Structure and NATO Force Structure as well as nonmilitary actors to provide synchronization.
The NATO Command Network Project as part of the CrossDomain Command WDI has started in 2022 and with an aim objective in 2035. The NATO Command Network Project needs to start with the current baseline capture amongst the different programs and initiatives mainly: FMN Spiral Specifications and gaps evolving mission network constructs the future OpNet Implementation Plan DCIS related programs (AMD Agile MultiDomain) for the deployed CIS infrastructure and services Core Communications programs as the main vehicle for the delivery of a NATO Enterprise Core Network infrastructure in direct support of NCS activities and an Alliance Federation Network infrastructure towards the integrations of national static infrastructures and services Core Services programs with ITM Incr 1 2 and 3 and the Next Generation Digital Services will provide the rationalization of data processing centers and moving of NU/NR workloads to the cloud. This will accelerate cloud native adoption and aim to unify NATOs enterprise and tactical edge clouds. COIrelated programs such as JISR Joint MultiDomain C2 (Land Maritime Air SOF) will provide the needed services to directly execute the multidomain operations of the future. Cyber Security related programs need to address security in all phases of the lifecycle development to protect from the dynamic threat environment. Service Management needs to be improved to facilitate the new digital transformation of all the C3 capabilities. Data Exploitation initiative needs to provide for the right data at the right time in future complex operational environments for the decision makers.
The NATO Digital Transformation is an endeavor to transform the Alliance towards a secure dataenabled organization. It addresses the operational needs to securely move data vertically from the strategic to the tactical level and horizontally across the Land Maritime Air Cyber and Space domains.
The work will include the planning and of the NATO Command Network Strategy Development workshop in Europe and the subsequent development of an ACT implementation plan for coordination and signature. The NATO Command Network will also need to accentuate the interoperability in the Alliance Federation the proper capability enhancements will have to be developed in order to inform the FMN Spiral Specification Roadmap. The integration of CWIX related trials as a result of NCN needs are also addressed. The development or Roadmap inputs can be by one approach through engaging with FMN IWG and CPWG syndicates where there are currently no ACT SMEs participation. Further analysis of capability requirements of existing and planned capability programs versus the conceptual needs of MDO and crossdomain command will have to be captured in a gap analysis and capability requirement developed and plans to allocate those programming developed. Finally work to include those requirements as well as FMN related requirements will need to be progressed through this contractor.
