Combat System Integration
Abstract
Project 0164: Combat System Integration: This project consists of four key Pillars executed within the Strike Force Interoperability (SFI) Program: (1) Command & Control, Communications, Computer, Combat Systems, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) Modernization Process (C5IMP). The C5IMP validates the introduction of new systems into the fleet and ensures systems' maturity prior to shipboard installation thereby reducing risk and enhancing readiness and effectiveness of deploying ships and strike groups. (2) Warfare Systems Certification (WSCERT), which is essential to validating the maturity and operational performance of warfare systems prior to Fleet delivery and deployment. (3) The integrated Navigation System Certification (NAVCERT) program certifies the shipboard integrated navigation suite for safe navigation using the Electronic Charting and Display Information System Navy (ECDIS-N) as the primary plot. To support Strike Force Interoperability and ship's mission requirements, it ensures that the installed integration navigation suite provides accurate and timely navigation information (position, velocity, speed, heading, roll, and pitch) to all navigation data consumers. This supports the following mission critical functions: pre-launch aircraft alignment, safe aircraft precision approach and landing operations, and accurate warfare/weapon systems targeting. (4) Interoperability Certification and Assessment (IOP C&A), the independent assessment of strike group warfare systems operational performance. Interoperability assessment examines force level engagement threads, aircraft control, air battle management, and operational displays. Assessments of deploying ships in strike force configurations are accomplished through the use of the Navy's Distributed Integration and Interoperability Assessment Capability (DIIAC) which supports the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy (DASN) "shift to the left" policy by providing early interoperability testing in the acquisition lifecycle. It is a Commander, U.S. Fleet Forces Command (CFFC) and Commander U.S. Pacific Fleet (COMPACFLT) requirement that all strike forces undergo interoperability assessment testing in the DIIAC prior to deployment. Interoperability certification results are used to develop fleet tactical tools (Capabilities & Limitations (C&L) documentation and Tactical Information Coordinator Technical Aids (TIC TECHAIDS)), that ensure that systems' operators understand the interoperability capabilities and limitations of their combat systems and have the watch station tools necessary for the execution of their tactical responsibilities.
