P-1 NOMENCLATURE:
BASE INFORMATION INFRASTRUCTURE
Description (continued):
call collection and fault management, unattended call rating, configuration management, telephone directory generation, online directory
assistance, and extensive tracking and reporting options. TMS may be stand-alone or connected to base networks; it interfaces directly with the
VSS. FY01-03 funds direct mission support and procures TMS for multiple Air Force bases. Funding is critical for automation of bases which
are using disparate, manual methods to accomplish the same work.
2. NETWORK CONNECTIVITY: No FY03 funds requested.
3. PUBLIC KEY INFRASTRUCTURE (PKI): A Department of Defense (DoD) PKI Program was mandated by the Deputy Secretary of
Defense on 8 Aug 97. PKI provides non-repudiation, user identification, and confidentiality for government electronic business. FY01-03
funds procure infrastructure computers and Air Force-wide public/private key hardware/software needed to generate, certify, and distribute
public/private key pairs for computer applications requiring information assurance capabilities (digital signatures and data encryption). Funds
will support the initial stand up and operational support of registration, training and awareness, directories for certificates, and end user
hardware and software required to support Air Force’s implementation of DoD PKI.
4. GLOBAL COMBAT SUPPORT SYSTEM - AIR FORCE (GCSS-AF): GCSS-AF provides the warfighter with timely, accurate and trusted
combat support information needed to execute throughout the full spectrum of Air Force and Joint operations. GCSS-AF is based on web
technology with an emphasis on componentization of common capabilities. Componentization reduces the AF cost of developing systems by
providing previously established common capabilities. Security using PKI and Directory Services will be integrated into the overall architecture
so it will not need to be developed for each system residing on GCSS-AF. FY02/03 funding procures the integration framework (architecture)
to be fielded AF-wide. The current plan calls for fielding the framework at three Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Defense
Enterprise Computing Centers, one each in CONUS, Europe and Asia with possible expansion to two or more CONUS sites. Fielding will
install application, security, web, messaging, and proxy servers, software and its associated licenses at the chosen sites. Additionally, fielding
will provide six "ship sets" of deployable hardware and software.
5. Air Force Systems Networking (AFSN). Modernizes and sustains intra-base communication networks. Provides the infostructure gateway
to DISA’s Defense Information System Networks. Accomplishes systems engineering functions to ensure end-to-end solutions are developed to
