Ops/Intel interface lessons learned: the integrator´s perspective

This paper describes our experiences in integrating and fielding the Operations/Intelligence (Ops/Intel) Interface. The Ops/Intel Interface integrates secure commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) technology with untrusted applications to produce a trusted Ops/Intel workstation. The Ops/Intel Interface enables the intelligence analyst to bridge the gap between the Sensitive Compartmented Information and Secret environments, and provide more active intelligence support to the warfighter. This paper presents the lessons learned from our integration and fielding of the Ops/Intel Interface for a joint military exercise at the United States Atlantic Command
