Tactical Support Center
Abstract
TacMobile is the Ground Station that brings Enterprise Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) to the Maritime Patrol and Reconnaissance Force (MPRF) community. TacMobile is a long-running, multi-year acquisition program that provides Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (C4I) for Navy's MPRF. From within Tactical Operations Centers (TOC) at well-supported airfields, TacMobile provides theater Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) and Intelligence Surveillance Reconnaissance (ISR) commanders a common tactical picture while providing pre-flight and post-flight support to manned and unmanned MPRF aircraft. From within Mobile Tactical Operations Centers (MTOC), TacMobile supports manned MPRF aircraft at the tactical edge of operations. TacMobile Fly-Away Kits (FAK) support manned MPRF aircraft in short-duration expeditionary settings. Services provided include analysis and correlation of diverse sensor information; data management support; command decision aids; rapid data communication; mission planning,evaluation and reach-back dissemination of surveillance data and threat alerts to operational users ashore and afloat, and to the Maritime Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance Environment. The TacMobile program uses an evolutionary development strategy consisting of incremental upgrades to meet new and emergent Fleet requirements, while retaining current capabilities. Increments are planned and resourced to support the MPRF Family of Systems aircraft: P-8A Poseidon aircraft and its upgrades; Advanced Airborne Sensor (AAS); and MQ-4C Triton. FY23: Funding will complete TacMobile Increment 3 Critical Design Review (CDR) activities and commence initial System Integration Testing (SIT) in preparation for FY25 Capability Package 1 (CP-1) Developmental Testing (DT), and Capability Package 2 (CP-2) Operational Assessment in FY 27. TacMobile Inc 3 leverages the P-8A Ground Station (PGS) architecture with the focus on increased mobility (Size, Weight, Power and Cooling (SWaP-C)) for the Mobile Tactical Operations Centers (MTOC) to meet the complete TacMobile Inc 3 requirements. The PGS partial solution will be recapitalized where feasible and incorporated into the full TacMobile Increment 3 design solution. Leveraging PGS will require some TacMobile redesign to achieve a smaller, lightweight, scalable Network-centric Services Oriented Architecture (SOA) configuration.
