Competencies
The Space and Missile Defense Battle Lab (SMDBL) executes the Concept Development
and Experimentation processes within the assigned missions including Space, High
Altitude, and Missile Defense and Joint Blue Force Tracking. SMDBL produces Space, High
Altitude, and Missile Defense technology prototypes in support of experimentation or rapid
equipping initiatives by enabling the development of the best capabilities for the future
warfighter and documenting those capabilities through the CDE process; superbly
supporting the current warfighter with rapidly developed and transitioned Space, High
Altitude, and Missile Defense technologies; and effectively and efficiently executing our
business processes and human resource systems to maximize our personnel potential and
utilization of the resources entrusted to our care.

Prototyping Approach Part 1
 Thought Process:
 Gap Analysis – Problem
Statement
 How do we do it?:
 Leverage prior investment
 What are we trying to
demonstrate?
 Maintain core services in a
government off the shelf
(GOTS) prototyping platform
 How much can be done with
available services?
 Organize community of the
willing to participate
 What functionality needs to be
added to acquire experimental
observations?
 Provide value to our customer
at minimal cost
 “Best available” vice “good
enough” tradeoffs
Prototyping Approach Part 2
 Platform Attributes:
 Interoperable with community
standards
 Adaptable to meet the needs of
the customer
 Affordable, transportable
 Easy to train and employ
 Readily Available ~> Sustain
Information Assurance (IA)
Compliance
 Non-Proprietary
 Applications:
 IAMD experimentation
 Surrogate for Programs of
Record
 Interface Programs of Record
 Tailored to specific functionality
 Contingency requirements
 Adapted to meet unique
requirements
 Rapidly deliver the capability
What is AWarE
 Integrated set of Services/Functionality
 Menu of applications
 Leverage other customer funded applications
 Flexibility built into a software backplane
 Services Oriented Architecture (SOA) development environment




Communications interfaces and message protocol translators
Track management and Visualization services
Planner system interfaces and planner tools
Information Assurance planning, it begins with each planned change
 Focused on the needs of the Integrated Air and Missile Defense
Community
 Member of the JIAMD Community of Interest (COI)
 Member of the Common Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) XML
Schema (CIXIS) Configuration Control Board (CCB)
 In use by the US Army Air and Missile Defense Command’s (AAMDC) for
air and missile defense attack planning and battle management tasks
 Customer feedback used to tailor software
