Command Control and Communications
Abstract
This program develops technology for Air Force Command, Control, and Communications (C3). Advances in C3 are required to increase warfighter readiness and effectiveness by providing the right information, at the right time, in the right format, anytime, anywhere in the world. The program has four projects. The Communication Technology project develops assured and secure communications technology and the capability to attack and exploit adversarial information and information systems. The Information Technology project develops improved and automated capabilities to generate, process, fuse, exploit, interpret, and disseminate timely and accurate information. The Command and Control Technology project investigates and develops planning, assessment, and knowledge base technologies to allow the warfighter to plan, assess, execute, monitor, and re-plan on the complex, compressed time scales required for tomorrow's conflicts. The Space Optical Networking Technology project develops the technology base for the next generation of ultra-wide-bandwidth, multi-channeled, air and space-based communications networks on and between platforms. This program is Budget Activity 2, Applied Research, since it develops and determines the technical feasibility and military utility of evolutionary and revolutionary technologies.

- Change Summary Explanation
- Note: In FY 2010, Congress added $2.0 million for Efficient Utilization of Transmission Hyperspace. These efforts were transfered to PE 0602788F, Dominant Informantion Technology, via Form 1414. The FY 2010 President's Budget submittal did not reflect FY 2011 through FY 2015 funding. A detailed explanation of changes between the two budget positions is not provided because it cannot be made in a relevant manner. C. Performance Metrics Under Development.
