DoD and Joint Staff directives assign the DSN Single System Manager (SSM) the responsibility for maintaining end-to-end configuration management of the DSN. This effort cannot be completed without the cooperation of the DoD components who own the DSN switches. The DSN SSM's vision for end-to-end management includes the development and implementation of a consolidated database repository that will provide the configuration information needed to properly manage the global network, satisfy up-channel reporting requirements, and provide the operational commands and authorized users with current switch configuration information.
Additionally, configuration management must:
- Meet CJCSI 6215.01C CM Direction and Service Level Agreements End-to-End
- Meet GIG Capstone Requirements End-to-End
- Ensure Interoperability & Security End-to-End
- Support DSN DIACAP Process
- Enforce the JITC Certification Process
- Comply with DISN NCCB Requirements
- Improve DSN Financial Management of Operational Assets & Services
- Support MILDEP Post/Camp/Station CM
