Communications InfrastructureMost Complex AF Mission Data Set (MDS)• Multidirectional, Multiple Media, High Granularity• Currently handled via Hardcopy “CSIR Process”• Microstation Drawing Records [KS,CD,MH,CV,BL]
Communications MDS (CMDS)• Significant Achievement by 38th EIG/GF• Comprehensive, well-designed data model• Captures “Outside Plant” Path/Cable/Equipment• Geospatial Data consistent w CIP & other MDS’s• 38th EIG Planning for CSIR transition to CMDS

Why CMDS Implementation?
CS activities “escalating questions”• Where exactly are Comm assets located?• What are those Comm assets at each location?• What is theoretical capacity and how much used?
Objective 1: Facilitate dig permits & minimize line cutsNeed: Accurate Comm-Path & “live” GeoBase CIP context
Objective 2: Complete Comm Asset CharacterizationNeed: CSIR-type detail for Cables/Equipment but GeoSpatial
Objective 3: Effective Planning [Base Blueprint & ER]Need: Query for Duct/Cable Capacity & Impacted SystemsNeed: CMDS links to TeleManagement Sys, Cable Records, etc.

Transformation: Enabling Capability
C4ISR Infrastructure Planning System (CIPS)• Managing Comm Planning & Investments
Geospatial: CIPS Visualization Component (CVC)CVC v. 3.2.1 “Thick Client” since 2006• ArcGIS Extension [desktop] for CSIR conversion to CMDS• Replacement for CSIR sheets:
• Manhole & Vault Diagrams [MH, VT] “Butterflies”• Cable Diagrams [CD] “Grid Section Sheets”
• Capability: Outside Plant Cables/ContainersCVC Enterprise Version: “CIPS Spatial” [April 2007]• GOTS on Oracle Spatial, Workspace Manager• Allows viewing, editing, posting on remote server• Local Data Stewardship – Stored on CIPS central server(s)

Results of CVC ImplementationCurrent Situation:CSIR Drawing Set• Paper-space section maps at
fixed scale• Obsolete infrastructure
backdrop, invariable• Electronic version-control at
38th EIG• Latest data version is red-
lined hardcopy at Base• Paper Maps copied &
recopied for users• Query = “Read Annotation”
New Business Process:CMDS Baseline Layers• Geo-referenced, seamless map
layers (zoom & pan)• Overlays CIP, aerial imagery &
other GeoBase MDS• Each installation is its own
Data Steward• Latest data is electronic and
updated in SCX/SCM• View and edit through Web
browser map services• Ready for Flexible Query &
Analysis through variety of software tools
• Self-Service Print Capability

FY 05-06: Survey Comm-Path 12 AMC bases FY 05-06: CVC Pilot Implementation• Scott AFB, Dover AFB with CVC Desktop• Both currently accessible through CIPS Spatial
FY 07: Current Implementation Activities• CONOPS Development• Create CVC-CMDS for additional AMC bases
• McChord AFB, MacDill AFB: Near Complete (QC)• McGuire AFB, Travis AFB, Fairchild AFB: Initiated
• Training & “Baton Pass” to CSAFMC: Hill AFB & Wright-Patterson AFB
