Advanced C4ISR

Abstract

The Advanced Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) Program Element develops future BMDS capabilities to out-pace emerging and evolving threats and identifies, develops, and readies for transition the technical solutions that address 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 the need for near-term solutions to enhance existing BMDS capability. This Program Element includes support for discrimination improvement efforts, which aim to develop and field an integrated set of Element capabilities to improve BMDS effectiveness and resilience against the evolving threat. The end result will be a BMDS architecture more capable of discriminating and destroying a re-entry vehicle with a high degree of confidence, improving Warfighter shot doctrine and preserving inventory. This effort encompasses Near-term, Mid-term, and Far-term discrimination capability fielding. The discrimination improvements require a coordinated effort between Systems Engineering (PE 0603890C), Ground-based Midcourse Defense (PE 0603882C), BMD Sensors (PE 0603884C), C2BMC (PE 0603896C), Aegis BMD, and Advanced C4ISR (PE 0603179C) MD40 Program-Wide Support (PWS) consists of essential non-headquarters management efforts providing integrated and efficient support to MDA functions and activities across the entire BMDS.
