Control and Reporting Center (CRC)
Abstract
This budget activity funds development of mobile ground-based command and control (C2) capabilities of the Control and Reporting Center (CRC) program. The CRC is identified as a component of the Integrated Air Missile Defense Family of Systems that defends the Homeland and US national interests at home and abroad by negating an adversary's ability to achieve adverse effects from their air and missile capabilities. The CRC mission is to provide battlespace awareness and tactical battle management command and control (BMC2) in an assigned area. It is a ground-based theater air control system (TACS) surveillance and BMC2 element. It consists of facilities, equipment, and people and is a tailorable, modular, transportable, sustainable and persistent weapon system employed at the tactical level to support air and surface operations. Currently, the CRCs are fully employed in Operations IRAQI FREEDOM, ENDURING FREEDOM, and NOBLE EAGLE. The CRC projects include development and modernization of Theater Air Control Systems Improvement (TACSI) capabilities and the Three-Dimensional Expeditionary Long-Range Radar (3DELRR). TACSI efforts include, but are not limited to the AN/TYQ-23 Operations Module (OM), AN/TPS-75 Long-Range Surveillance Radar and the AN/TRC-215 Remote Radio Secure Voice System (RRSVS) that may be tasked across the full range of military operations. AN/TYQ-23 OM is a low source/high demand (LS/HD) deployable ground-based C2 asset. This automated, computer-based information system provides operators the real-time battlespace visualization necessary to plan, direct, and control tactical air operations and airspace management tasks. AN/TRC-215 RRSVS is a mobile, vehicle-mounted voice radio and OM-interface unit. The RRSVS allows real-time, secure voice communication between aircraft operating in the battlespace and ground-based BMC2 operators located in the OM of the CRC. The AN/TRC-215 is typically deployed to a remote area which can extend the CRCs radio coverage beyond line of sight (BLOS) using organic SATCOM capabilities. The 3DELRR program is developing a replacement for the current legacy AN/TPS-75 radar. 3DELRR will be the principal USAF long-range, ground-based sensor for detecting, identifying, tracking, and reporting aircraft and missiles in support of the Joint Forces Air Component Commander (JFACC) through the Ground Theater Air Control System (GTACS). The primary mission of the 3DELRR will be to provide long-range surveillance, control of aircraft, theater ballistic missile detection and Combat Identification (CID). The 3DELRR will respond to the operational need to detect and report highly maneuverable, small radar cross section targets to enable battlespace awareness while at the same time mitigating the reliability, maintainability, and sustainability issues plaguing the AN/TPS-75 radar system. Ongoing planning and associated activities will take place to prevent and overcome diminishing manufacturing sources and obsolescence issues as required. The program is in Budget Activity 7 because it provides funding for the modernization of currently existing and operating systems.
