Enterprise Information Assurance Integration

G. Johnson, M. Lopez

Abstract:	The Global Positioning Systems Wing (GPSW) has extensive, cradle-to-grave responsibilities for Information Assurance (IA) on numerous information systems and networks across the GPS Space, Control, and User Segments, starting with system acquisition and continuing throughout system sustainment. With the current GPS Modernization, the GPSW faces greater challenges in executing its IA responsibilities in developing and acquiring a new Generation III System while upgrading and sustaining the existing Generation II System. To assist the GPSW to surmount these challenges, the GPSW’s System Engineering and Integration (SE&I) Team collaborated with the GPSW’s IA professionals to evaluate the GPSW IA programs within the three GPS Segments and determine the best way forward. This paper provides a brief introduction to IA; presents the analysis of the GPSW’s IA organization and its execution of IA processes; and highlights the actions taken by the GPSW to enhance its ability to execute its IA activities efficiently and effectively and thereby improve the IA posture of GPS.
