DEMONSTRATE THE VALUE PROPOSITION
NVESD determined that the best method for influencing change and building consensus within the commer- cial and federal sensor communities was to prove the value through demonstra- tions. NVESD developed a campaign for engaging with DOD-sponsored experi- mentation and demonstration activities that started with small, focused technical events and incrementally increased into much larger, holistic Army experimenta- tion activities.
Te quarterly TSOA events, the first demon stration activity for the ISA framework, became the starting point for NVESD’s engagement campaign, and enabled sensor developers to see the value that the ISA interoperability pro- vided. Te sensors that were integrated with ISA were able to provide real-time, positive feedback to the other sensor pro- viders at the TSOA event regarding the ease of integration and the overall value it provided. Tis provided a platform of positive engagement that NVESD was able to leverage to build voluntary adoption in subsequent quarterly TSOA activities. Tat, in turn, quickly devel- oped into overwhelming support. Te feedback continues to be a key element of TSOA activities.
To further expand voluntary user adop- tion through experimentation
and
demonstrations, the NVESD ISA is supporting the Army Expeditionary Warrior Experiments scheduled for the first half of 2015 and sponsored by U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC). It
is also in discussions
SENSORS = SURVIVABILITY

BUILD CONSENSUS THROUGH FORUMS NVESD began building broader, formal consensus through domestic and interna- tional acquisition and scientific forums, in parallel to expanding the informal, voluntary adoption of the ISA standards within the government and commercial sensor development community. Tis parallel (and slightly staggered) approach enabled NVESD to leverage the results, metrics and user feedback generated by the demonstration and experimenta- tion venues for the forum discussions. NVESD observed that its efforts to influ- ence the forum discussions were far more effective and efficient when it could sup- port recommendations with real data and results from the demonstration events.
Forums such as the Sensor Computing Environment are helping to promote
and formalize the ISA within the Army’s acquisition and S&T communities, while the NATO Modeling and Simula- tion Group is helping to formalize ISA concepts within the international com- munity. Tese forums provide NVESD with a valuable platform for positive discussion, building toward formal agree- ment among stakeholders as part of the overall ISA implementation plan. More importantly, interacting with other sensor experts throughout RDECOM and the acquisition community is enabling ISA to identify and incorporate lessons from other communities.
DISSEMINATE THE ARCHITECTURE
Te final step was to disseminate the demonstrated and vetted architecture to industry through the “front doors” of government. NVESD identified three key front doors where opportunities existed to post and formalize the ISA framework with government and industry:
