Global Sensor Integrated on Network (GSIN)

Global Sensor Integrated on Network (GSIN) is a research and development initiative under the Air Force's Research, Development, Test & Evaluation budget activity. The program aims to establish and provide full-spectrum, global strike, coordinated space and information operations capabilities to meet both deterrent and decisive national security objectives. Specifically, GSIN focuses on integrating disparate Missile Warning (MW), Missile Defense (MD), Technical Intelligence (TI), Measurement and Signature Intelligence (MASINT), and a variety of non-traditional data into a single, exposed data set. This integration provides resilient and unambiguous MW/MD data to national leadership and enables existing radars and sensors to provide data in net-centric formats consumable by other authorized systems and mission areas. Additionally, the program supports the DoD Data Strategy by exposing, transporting, and fusing previously stove-piped data for a variety of mission perspectives.

The program's specific objectives include developing common Extensible Markup Language (XML) net-enabled data schemas and configuration management processes for managing the XML schema and associated XML messaging and services. It also involves technical outreach for potential new GDI data consumers and providers who require GDI sensor data. Furthermore, the program aims to upgrade GDI capabilities as Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Enterprise Services evolve, continue modifications to data services, support integration of GDI sensor data into appropriate registries/catalogs, develop implementation plans to mature data exposure capabilities, complete integration and testing of radar systems, support initial operational capability of radar systems, continue production/fielding of radar systems, rapidly implement system resiliency and situational awareness changes required to operate in the contested space domain. These efforts are aligned with the broader goal of providing critical and unique data to USSPACECOM SDA data repositories to facilitate the large Space Battle Management Command and Control (BMC2) suite of capabilities/programs.
