Advanced C4ISR

Abstract

The Advanced C4ISR Program Element develops future Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) capabilities to out-pace emerging and evolving threats. Advanced C4ISR identifies, develops, and readies for transition in association with Missile Defense Agency (MDA) Engineering the technical solutions that meet BMDS shortfalls identified by the Combatant Commanders. MDA uses the Prioritized Capabilities List (PCL) and the Agency's Achievable Capabilities List (ACL) to prioritize technology investments including Advanced C4ISR. MDA's investments balance the pursuit of promising next generation technology with near-term solutions to enhance existing BMDS capability. MD01 consisted of support for development and maturation of technologies which enable rapid and exponential capability increases in our C2BMC and existing sensor networks. In FY14, C2BMC developed and matured advanced C2BMC C4ISR technology, software and algorithms which have the potential to increase battlespace for all BMDS interceptors including the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense and Ground-based Interceptors. This Program Element also included support for C2BMC centric DIHD Near-Term and Mid-Term capability fieldings. For FY15 and beyond, the developed technologies developed under this PE have been transitioned to the C2BMC (0603896C) Program Element for further refinement and implementation. MD73 consists of support to develop and field an integrated set of Element (Advanced X-Band Radar) capabilities to improve BMDS reliability, lethality, and discrimination. The end result will be deployed within a future BMDS architecture which improves Warfighter shot doctrine and, consequently, optimizes inventory management. This effort supports DIHD Mid-Term capability fielding. MD40 Program-Wide Support (PWS) consists of essential non-headquarters management efforts providing integrated and efficient support to the MDA functions and activities across the entire Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS).

Change Summary Explanation
FY 2015 change reflects Public Law 113-235, FY2015 Omnibus; Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act. For FY15 and beyond, the developed technologies developed under this PE have been transitioned to the C2BMC (0603896C) Program Element for further refinement and implementation. The FY 2016 MD73 funding was adjusted to align with current Department of Defense priorities and account for transition to the C2BMC (0603896C) Program Element for further refinement and implementation .
