CPE Integration Directorate

CPE ISW Integration Directorate

MISSION:

The CPE ISW Integration Directorate facilitates cross program integration both inside and outside the CPE to ensure ISW systems are relevant, adaptable, and interoperable capabilities that pace the threat.

VISION:

The CPE ISW Integration Directorate strives for the realization of a fully interoperable ecosystem of intelligence and spectrum warfare capabilities that seamlessly integrate across all platforms, echelons, and security enclaves, empowering the Army and Warfighter with adaptive, resilient, and unified resources to stay ahead of our adversaries.

DESCRIPTION:

To achieve the CPE ISW Integration Directorate mission and vision, we focus on four Lines of Effort (LOEs): Experiment Design and Engineering; Mission Integration; Enterprise Architecture, and; Digital Engineering and Testing.

Ms. Christine L. Moulton - Director, CPE Integration Directorate

 

Ms. Christine Moulton currently serves as the Strategic Integration Director for the Integration Directorate at the Capability Program Executive for Intelligence Electronic Warfare and Sensors (CPE IEW&S) in Fort Belvoir, Virginia. In this capacity, she oversees the Army’s Common Operating Environment (COE) Sensor CE program, spearheading the implementation of its interoperability solution with the standardized Integrated Sensor Architecture (ISA).

With a strong focus on the Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA), Ms. Moulton leads the Integration Directorate in developing a comprehensive CPE Enterprise Architecture. She is instrumental in formulating the Digital Engineering (DE) design framework for the CPE, emphasizing the adoption of open standards and Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) to ensure seamless interoperability across Army systems. Her efforts focus to significantly enhance the streamlined development of systems and capabilities within CPE IEW&S.

Additionally, Ms. Moulton supports initiatives with ISA for the ABCANZ standardization and the Unified Reference Data Architecture (UDRA), reinforcing her commitment to advancing interoperability standards within the Department of Defense.

Ms. Moulton holds a Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering with a focus on Thin Film Coating Applications from the Rochester Institute of Technology. She is Level III certified in System Engineering at the Defense Acquisition University.

Prior to her role as Acting Strategic Integration Director, Ms. Moulton was the Lead for the Open Architectures and Standards Team within PEO IEW&S Integration Directorate. She began her career supporting the C5ISR Center in the field of Modeling and Simulation, where she developed a solid foundation in systems engineering and integration.

PROGRAMS / LINES OF EFFORT (LOEs)

LOE 1: Experiment Design and Engineering

The Experiment Design and Engineering Team serves as the technical architect for experiment design.  They translate the operational requirements gathered by the Mission Integration Team into concrete technical specifications and actionable experimentation plans.  By collaborating closely with Project Managers and program offices, this team designs the engineering solutions required to meet the experiment’s objectives.

 

LOE 1: Open Architecture and Standards

LOE 2: Mission Integration

The Mission Integration Team captures user requirements, which the Experiment Design and Enterprise Architecture teams use to design technically compliant solutions.  These solutions are then rigorously validated in a digital environment by the Digital Engineering & Test Team, ensuring the rapid delivery of integrated and reliable capabilities.  

 

LOE 2: Digital Testing & Engineering

LOE 3: Enterprise Architecture

This team designs and governs the enterprise architecture for the entire system and for specific experiments.  They define the official data exchanges, standards, and APIs required for interoperability.  As the custodian of the authoritative architecture, this team provides the official baseline used for all technical reviews and policy compliance, ensuring all components work together cohesively.

 

LOE 3: Outreach & Partner Engagements

LOE 4: Digital Engineering and Testing

This team leads the migration of the CPE ISW portfolio to a modern digital engineering ecosystem.  They are responsible for creating and maintaining a cohesive digital environment that enables automated testing and strict interface control.  By providing this robust testing infrastructure, they directly support the Mission Integration Team in validating new systems and ensuring they integrate seamlessly within the CPE architecture.
