USAF SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT

CASE STUDIES

Client: NAVAIR / US Air Force

Challenge:

Historically, USAF deficiency reporting that involved classified information or equipment was either reported on common, non-secure systems with classified information removed (impairing the investigation of problems) or processed using program specific, stovepipe secure systems with no standardized process or data collection.

Solution: 

Sierra developed and maintains the Joint Deficiency Reporting System-Classified (JDRS-C) website, hosted on the DoD Secure Internet Protocol Router (SIPR) network. JDRS-C implements the same standardized dataset and workflow process as the non-secure version that is hosted on the Non Secure Internet Protocol Router (NIPR) network which is mandated for use by all services.

• All deficiency reports investigated in JDRS-C enable specific data controls that isolate deficiency data to only those individuals cleared by the Program Office associated with the investigation.

Benefits:

• Standardized datasets and workflow process eliminates the need to develop program unique solutions to mandatory deficiency reporting.
• Provides the ability to collaborate among services for commonly used equipment and material.
• Common access/account maintenance process shared with the non-secure version to simplify JDRS-C access for users while keeping account data separate/secure.
