Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR)
Abstract
This focus area explores joint prototypes and concept-of-operations for C4ISR capabilities while deterring the adversary’s capabilities. Developed prototypes will improve situational awareness; indications and warnings; threat detection; and, inform tactical and strategic decisions. Counter-C4ISR capabilities will prevent or disrupt the adversary’s ability to detect, track, localize, and engage our forces. Specific activities include design and development of interoperable C4ISR system architectures; vulnerability analysis and exploitation; advanced sensors; anti-jam antenna systems; materials with novel electromagnetic properties; on-board processing; fusion of intelligence data; and, platform integration testing. These prototype capabilities will reduce technical and integration risk and provide joint, cross-cutting value to the warfighter. A cross functional team, led by the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, will review and select prototyping proposals from across the Department of Defense in the year of execution.
