Leveraging Federation in Contingency Operations

LTC Richard FaulknerOSD-ATL-Program Support

How Do We Make Federation Work

• Inclusion of industry in any solution

• Leverage the work DMDC has implemented around DCCIS

• Any Solution must be interoperable with other systems for physical and logical access. (DBIDS, DNVC, JAMMS)

How We Are Using Today

Work We are Doing/Preparing For In Contingencies

• Inclusion of biometric and base authorization systems in the CENTCOM area of Responsibility

• Industry “Pilot” at Fort Belvoir

• Promote ability to quickly add contractors to federal response plans (overseas & domestically)

Challenges Around Federation

• DoD must be isolated from risks• Strong governance to ensure that companies and

industry groups play by the rules• Standardized interoperability and security

requirements• Eliminate the concern about PII issues through
