Background
• Originally developed under the Joint
Program Office for Special Technology
Countermeasures (JPO-STC) Counter RFAttack program
– July 1997 – Database proposed to
community at first ever tri-service HPM
program review
– Aug. - Oct. 1997 – Scoping study performed
to define requirements (14 DoD
organizations)
• Database objectives:
– Facilitate JPO-STC RF countermeasures development
– Share (leverage) HPM data across Services / Agencies
• Database requirements documented in “Software Requirements for
DEW(RF) Database”, Rev. 4, 24 July 1998 (FOUO)
• Four major releases have occurred (1999, 2002, 2005, 2007)
• OSD/HPMSG database charter signed (March 2002)

OUSD Database Charter
• Charter signed March 2002
• JPO-STC designated as HPM/CHPM Database
Manager
• Establishes/promulgates procedures and roles to:
– “Standardize the reporting of captured empirical, system or
subsystem level, parametric data”
– “Define common data formats”
– “Establish a single repository for all DoD HPM/CHPM effects
data (regardless of program, executing organization, security
classification, or end use)”
– “Consolidate DoD funded, sponsored, or supported
HPM/CHPM effects data within that repository”
• Funding to be arranged by OSD

Recommendations
• Secure stable funding
– Ensure tri-Service participation
• Migrate database to SIPRNET
– Provides real-time access
– Simplified data collection/distribution processes
– DVD distribution may still be required
• Perform a new scoping study to validate/update database
requirements
• Improve the data collection process
– Train community to enter data as it is collected/analyzed
– Determine enticement for entering data– hammer or carrot
• Transfer database management/support functions to DTIC for
execution
– Requires a transition period while community is spun up to enter data
