Dominant Information Technology
Abstract
This program develops enterprise-centric information technology for the Air Force. Advances in enterprise-centric information technologies 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 Connectivity and Protection Tech project provides the technologies for: multi-level, secure, seamless networks; advanced communications processors; anti-jam and low probability of intercept techniques, as well as technologies that successfully deter any adversary from attacking computer systems anytime, anywhere while allowing access to, presence on, manipulation of, and operational effects of adversary computer systems. In addition, this 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. The Info Mgmt and Computational Tech project will provide advances in robust information management and dissemination technologies to ensure the delivery of high-quality, timely, secure information to the warfighter and develop technologies to produce both advanced on-demand computational processing and computer architectures with greater capacity and sophistication for addressing dynamic mission objectives under constraints imposed by AF systems. The Information Decision Making Tech project develops the technology necessary to support the commander and staff's ability to command all viable options to achieve desired effects across the full spectrum of operations. The Operational Awareness Tech project develops technologies that improve and automate their capability to generate, process, manage, fuse, exploit, interpret, and disseminate timely and accurate information. This program is in Budget Activity 2, since it develops and demonstrates the technical feasibility and military utility of evolutionary and revolutionary technologies
