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 Capability Packages to meet new and emergent Fleet requirements, while retaining current capabilities. These capability packages consist of a three phase approach: Capability Package One (CP-1) which addresses SECRET domain only (planned fielding in FY25); Capability Package Two (CP-2) meets the Minimum Viable Product (MVP) (Initial Operational Capability (IOC) in FY28); and Capability Package Three (CP-3) will meet full Capability Production Document (CPD) requirements. These Capability Packages are planned and resourced to support the MPRF Family of Systems aircraft: P-8A Poseidon aircraft modernization and upgrades; and Advanced Airborne Sensor (AAS). In FY 2024, TacMobile will finalize the Secret enclave Capability Package 1 (CP-1) System Integration Testing (SIT) and Fleet operational assessment, and commence core TacMobile systems engineering, design and development for the Higher Than Secret (HTS) enclave Capability Package 2 (CP-2). Activities include closing out design activities for a full Increment 3 capability that leverages portions of the NAVAIR P-8 Ground Station (PGS) interim solution integrated into a smaller form factor to support P-8A operations. Commence SECRET Enclave System Integration Testing (SIT) and will procure an Expeditionary Higher than SECRET shelter test bed for Lab development and integration in support of Capability Package 2 (CP-2) commencing in FY25.
