High Bandwidth High Throughput (HBHT) Government Reference Architecture (GRA) open source management and compliance

This paper describes some approaches for implementation of the HBHT GRA in an open source environment. It describes the process associated with engaging industry in developing the GRA Functional Decomposition, validating the GRA through a prototype, creating the GRA as an open standard for the Army HC3 Program and managing to that architecture and standard in an open development environment. This paper will review the alternatives with respect to open source implementation of GRA core framework.
