AF TENCAP

Abstract

Air Force TENCAP increases warfighter effectiveness through the exploitation of national capabilities and promotes cross-domain integration of these capabilities into military operations/training, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) activities. AF TENCAP exploits existing air, space, cyber, national and global ISR, and Non-Traditional ISR (NTISR) for operational and tactical applications by rapidly prototyping and providing capability demonstrations. Projects are designed to transition to warfighters and/or national intelligence agencies for operational use, sustainment and appropriate acquisition Programs of Record for further development. AF TENCAP projects can influence the design and operation of future air, space, cyber, national and global ISR and NTISR while providing awareness to warfighters and national intelligence agency organizations and units. Program consists of multiple small projects supporting one of eight mission/investment areas as a reflection of the Air Force Core Function Mission Areas (CFMAs). Mission areas include: ISR for Space and Space Capabilities, National and Operational ISR, Precision Strike Support and NTISR, Strategic Capabilities and Effects, Cyber and Spectrum Warfare, Data Discovery and Dissemination, Anti-Access/Area Denial and Aerial Layer Network, and National Technical Means support to Irregular Warfare. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.
