MAPPING THE BENEFITS


Across all six of its CEs, the COE is designed to save time and money, enhance cybersecurity and increase agility by applying shared hardware and software solutions to myriad computing functions. (SOURCE: Denise Rule, PEO C3T)


LESS IS MORE Te COE supports more efficient product development and sustainment in several ways. First, it identifies “cross-cutting” capabilities, such as geospatial visualization, that in the past were delivered separately within each warfighting system. Users had a map for fires, a map for intelligence, a map for airspace management and so on. Under COE, these separate solutions are replaced with common software tools, so the same mapping capability could be used by several programs that require it. Not only does this convergence provide a common look and feel for the Soldier, it also reduces the number of software licenses the Army has to purchase and maintain for similar capabilities. Tis approach enables project managers (PMs) to focus their resources on innovating and maturing their own new capabilities, rather than maintaining duplicative enablers and infrastructure.

Te COE also brings savings in hardware by introducing com- mon servers that increase command post agility while decreasing specialized field support. Te Tactical Server Infrastructure (TSI) effort under the Command Post Computing Environ- ment (CP CE) merges operational and intelligence functions onto one common set of servers at secret and lower classification levels. TSI reduces hardware by combining those functions on one machine.


At the same time, it increases capability with modernized, high- performance servers that provide significantly more processing power, memory and storage capability at each Army echelon. It also standardizes server installation, configuration and man- agement, including automation scripts that enable faster setup for the user. With TSI in place, Soldiers from the signal and
