Executive Summary
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 3
• Booz Allen Hamilton partnered with government market research firm Market Connections, Inc. to assess the challenges the military faces with C4ISR and receptivity to an Enterprise Integration approach to address their concerns and challenges.
• More than half of survey respondents saw interoperability across military organizations as a problem that cannot be solved without the true integration and networking of C4ISR. They also indicated an integrated approach to C4ISR would benefit their organizations.
• Survey respondents cited process and budget as the top challenges of working with legacy C4ISR systems. The technology challenges respondents face are primarily related to cybersecurity modernization and technology insertion concerns.
• The concept of Integrated C4ISR through Enterprise Integration especially resonates with the Air Force. Almost three quarters of Air Force survey respondents indicated Enterprise Integration would benefit them, versus just over half of total respondents.
• Two-thirds of respondents agree:o Incremental delivery of modular systems with integrated capabilities can enable rapid insertion of new
technologies (65%).
o Designed-in cybersecurity that infuses solutions with organic unified and multi-layered defense can strengthen cybersecurity because interoperability will be designed into systems from the beginning (64%).
o Government-owned, open architectures and standardized interfaces can allow a “plug and play” environment that will give wider access to commercial technologies (64%).

For the remainder of the survey, respondents kept in mind the following high-level description summarizing the key points of a C4ISR solution being offered to the military by a major government contracting firm. The intent of the C4ISR solution is to address the issues facing the defense acquisition community when designing, buying and implementing C4ISR capabilities.
New Concept: Integrated C4ISR through Enterprise Integration
Until recently, many C4ISR systems were designed to meet specific mission requirements, but did not take into consideration the ability to share information or interoperate seamlessly with systems outside of their mission space. As opportunities and requirements for collaboration grew, these systems were expanded and modified after they were built and fielded, typically with proprietary technology.
Warfighters and the organizations that support them need “Integrated C4ISR,” in which the individual pieces are designed as part of an enterprise system from the start. Integrated C4ISR is distinguished by five major features:
• Government-owned, open architectures and standardized interfaces
• Agile, incremental delivery of modular systems with integrated capabilities
• Collective forums that bring together operators, acquisition professionals, and engineers to support agile development of solutions that are tailored to operational and technical requirements
• Designed-in cybersecurity to infuse solutions with organic, unified, and multilayered defense
• Enterprise-oriented culture
A major government contractor is positioned to help military organizations develop and field Integrated C4ISR through Enterprise Integration by enhancing and linking capabilities in three primary disciplines: 1) engineering; 2) strategic and tactical operations; and 3) acquisition policies and processes.

BOOZ ALLEN HAMILTON C4ISR SURVEY REPORT | MARKET CONNECTIONS, INC. | WWW.MARKETCONNECTIONSINC.COM
17
The following descriptions summarizing the five major features of Integrated C4ISR through Enterprise Integration were provided with each set of questions regarding the respective feature:
Government-owned, open architectures and standardized interfaces. Government and military organizations will shift away from proprietary, vendor-owned C4ISR systems to a truly open architecture that is simpler, modular, standards-based, common and shared and government-owned to ensure system interoperability and data integration. In integrated C4ISR, the government will own the architecture, the system, and the data.
Agile, incremental delivery of modular systems with integrated capabilities. Military organizations will shift away from the acquisition approach in which large systems are delivered all at once, after years of development. Instead, they will acquire smaller, modular systems with common interface specifications delivered incrementally by the full industry base and inject new innovations into the integrated C4ISR solution as soon as they are invented.
Collective forums that bring together operators, acquisition professionals and engineers to support agile development of solutions that are tailored to operational and technical requirements. Stakeholders from the technology and engineering realm can bring in their solutions to a laboratory environment to evaluate how well they interoperate with existing C4ISR platforms, assess how well they meet the real-world operational needs of warfighters and determine the best options for maintaining quality standards while rapidly fielding the capabilities.
Designed-in cybersecurity to infuse solutions with organic, unified and multi-layered defense. Early engagement of security issues in the design process, along with control over security standards and interfaces, will enable system developers to make cybersecurity an organic feature of each networked system.
Enterprise-oriented culture. In an enterprise-oriented culture, stakeholders do not think of their roles simply from a functional perspective (i.e., as a technologist, or an operator and an acquisition professional), but also from an enterprise perspective that moves them from a siloed view of the issues to networked decision making.
