Title: DoD Forensics and Biometrics Enterprise Architecture Working Group (FBEAWG) Survey (2022)

NOTE: Please do not provide any Personable Identifiable Information (PII) in this Survey

1. What organization do you work for or support?

2. What is your position or role with the organization?

3. What should the DoD FBEAWG concentrate the most on?

1. Updating the DoD Forensics and Biometrics Reference Architecture (FBRA) v2.1.1

2. Continue updating the DoD Forensics and Biometrics As-Is Architecture (FBAsA)

3. Develop a DoD Forensics and Biometrics To-Be Architecture

4. Something else – Provide details in the response to the next question

If you selected “D. Something Else” for the question above, please provide details on what the DoD FBEAWG should concentrate on; be as specific as you can. Examples help.

4. If the DoD FBEAWG prioritizes the DoD FBRA v2.1.1, what should be the focus in updating the DoD FBRA v2.1.1?

1. Expanding the Scope to include Digital and Multi-Media Forensics

2. Identifying and developing “Event-Based Scenario Patterns of Dynamic Behavior” or OV-6c’s; that will provide PATTERNS currently missing from the DoD FBRA v2.1.1

3. Update the Capabilities Taxonomy (CV-2 – Capabilities Hierarchy) to describe specific desired effects according to validated requirements and/or operational needs

4. Something else – Provide details in the response to the next question

If you selected “D. Something Else” for the question above, please provide details on what the DoD FBEAWG should focus on in updating the DoD FBRA v2.1.1; be as specific as you can. Examples help.

5. If the DoD FBEAWG prioritizes the DoD FBAsA, what should be the focus in continuing to update the DoD FBAsA?

1. Expanding the Scope to include Digital and Multi-Media Forensics

2. Developing a Fit-for-Purpose product that shows which Performers are using which Systems that exchange Forensics and/or Biometrics data.

3. Something else – Provide details in the response to the next question

If you selected “C. Something Else” for the question above, please provide details on what the DoD FBEAWG should focus on in continuing to update the DoD FBAsA; be as specific as you can. Examples help.

6. If the DoD FBEAWG prioritizes developing a To-Be Architecture, what should be the primary Source Documentation or Guidance in developing a To-Be Architecture for the DoD Forensics and Biometrics Enterprise?

1. Capabilities Based Analysis (CBA) on All-Domain Protection, in support of Multi-Domain Operations

2. Wait for an OSD level sponsored CBA to be initiated for all Exploitation within the DoD

3. Share and review new concepts and related technologies pertinent to the DoD Forensics and Biometrics Enterprise

4. Something else – Provide details in the response to the next question

If you selected “D. Something Else” for the question above, please provide details on what should be the primary Source Documentation or Guidance in developing a To-Be Architecture for the DoD Forensics and Biometrics Enterprise; be as specific as you can. Examples help.

7. If you selected “D. Something Else” for question #3, provide the Outcome or Desired Effect for doing the “Something Else” you provided earlier. Provide details, be as specific as you can. Your response earlier could be the “what” and this question wants to ask “why” we want to do the “what” stated. Examples help.

8. What ways could the Co-Chairs (DFBA Architecture Branch and DC3 Enterprise Architecture Division) improve on facilitation of the DoD FBEAWG?
