UAS Integration & Interoperability

Abstract

Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Integration and Interoperability funding supports the development of solutions for Command and Control (C2) and interoperability of UAS platforms across the Naval Aviation Enterprise (NAE). Project 3379: All Common Control System (CCS) efforts for Autonomy and Executive Control of multiple unmanned aircraft previously funded under PU 3379 have been transferred to PU 1993 - "Architect and Cap for Autonomy in the Naval Enterprise (ARCANE). This budget profile supports executive control of multiple unmanned aircraft through the development of an autonomy architecture for Naval Aviation platforms. This is an extension of the line of effort established by Common Control System (CCS) (Project 3379), expanding into autonomy and capabilities aligned with the National Defense Strategy. New PU established for clarity. Project 1993: ARchitecture and Capabilities for Autonomy in the Naval Enterprise (ARCANE) budget profile supports executive control of multiple unmanned aircraft through the development of an autonomy architecture for Naval Aviation platforms. This is an extension of the line of effort established by Common Control System (CCS) (Project 3379), expanding into autonomy and capabilities aligned with the National Defense Strategy. New PU established for clarity. The CCS program was redirected in FY21 to focus on autonomy, executive control, artificial intelligence, and machine learning for Unmanned Systems (UxS) systems. This direction was consistent with decisions to implement existing solutions for UAS control, while continuing to advance development in valid requirements captured in the CCS requirements document. Under this new direction the program is operating under the name ARCANE. JUSTIFICATION FOR BUDGET ACTIVITY: This program is funded under OPERATIONAL SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT because it includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.

Change Summary Explanation
Project schedule changes from FY23 submission for Project 3379 reflect redirection toward ARCANE and transfer of autonomy and executive control efforts to Project 1993.This is an extension of the line of effort established by Common Control System (CCS) (Project 3379), expanding into autonomy and capabilities aligned with the National Defense Strategy. New PU established for clarity. FY24 funding increase enables development activities after program redirection toward autonomy. The increase provides funding for development of autonomy architecture, autonomous behaviors, and tools to enable future autonomy development for the NAE.
