Combat Terrain Information Systems / Digital Topographic Support System

CTIS / DTSS is an integrated, self-contained, terrain data manipulation and analysis system designed to provide commanders and staff with topographic engineering support at Brigade, Division, Corps, and Theater. The systems provide critical, timely, and accurate digital and hardcopy geospatial information to support mission planning, rehearsal, and execution. DTSS is developed under the direction of the Project Director of Combat Terrain Information Systems (CTIS). DTSS capabilities include: receiving, storing, and managing National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) produced digital geospatial data, generating complex geospatial decision aids (mobility analysis, maneuver prediction, advanced visibility analysis, terrain analysis, geospatial analysis, complex data queries), producing 2-D and 3-D visualization and manipulation of terrain information, generating electronic and hardcopy maps, and providing web-based user interface for downloading decision aids.

Deliverables on this contract include:

• Geographic Information System (GIS) Subject Matter Expertise (SME) Support
• Database Management System Development Support
• Software Development Support
• System Architecture Development and Integration Support
• Ad Hoc Support

Distributed Common Ground Support (DCGS) – Army Mobile Basic Geospatial

DCGS-A Mobile Basic is the Army's latest in a series of DCGS-A systems designed to access and ingest multiple data types from a wide variety of intelligence sensors, sources and databases.  This new system will also deliver greater operational and logistical advantages over the currently-fielded DCGS-A Version 3 and the nine ISR programs it replaces. DCGS will offer the ability to query authoritative data sources and large numbers of enterprise databases; visualize and exploit that data both relationally and geospatially; and collaborate with others in the intelligence enterprise and battle command community.

DCGS will support all phases of combat and provide a scalable expeditionary-level capability currently unavailable today. Its enterprise-level Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) framework will easily allow the insertion of new, third-party applications developed in accordance with established standards.

• Database Management System Development Support
• Software Development Support
• System Architecture Development and Integration Support
• Ad Hoc Support
• Project Scheduling & Administrative Support
• Interactive Electronic Technical Manual (IETM) Data Module (DM) Development Support
• Training Task (TT) Development Support

Engineering Field Planning, Reconnaissance, Surveying, and Sketching Set (ENFIRE)

ENFIRE is a digital tool set that replaces the analog Surveying and Sketching Set the Army Engineers have used for the past five decades.  ENFIRE leverages existing software functionality as much as is practical for the development of software tools to be used in the fielded ENFIRE sets. 

Units use ENFIRE at the company, platoon, and squad levels as a means to facilitate rapid collection, absorption, and dissemination of information. Current plans for information dissemination involve moving collected information from the Lower Tactical Internet (LTI) to the Upper Tactical Internet (UTI) for distribution though a web service based interface. ENFIRE incorporates the ability to automatically populate field data on forms used for route, road, bridge, hasty minefield, and improvised explosive device (IED) reconnaissance with relevant information from peripheral devices included in the ENFIRE set. 

Information collected using ENFIRE is used to show report information in a georeferenced fashion on a map background using features and graphics depicting MIL-STD 2525 B symbology.  Collected information is transferable to other ENFIRE systems and to other Army Battle Command Systems (ABCS) used at battalion level and above.

National Health Information Network

The Nationwide Health Information Network (NHIN) is a set of standards, services and policies that enable secure health information exchange over the internet. The NHIN will provide a foundation for the exchange of health IT across diverse entities, within communities, and across the country in order to achieve the goals of the HITECH Act. This critical part of the national health IT agenda will enable health information to follow the consumer, be available for clinical decision making, and support appropriate use of healthcare information beyond direct patient care - all to improve population health.

Deliverables on this contract include:

• Project and Portfolio Management
• Architectural Design and Implementation
• Requirements Analysis
• Communications
• Tools Support
