Advanced Combat Systems Tech
Abstract
The Advanced Combat System Technology line is to evolve the technical and business practices for programs to change to an open architecture construct. The program was constructed to mature both technical and business model integration for C5I systems programs of record in an open architecture environment. The priority was incorporating the principles of modular design and design disclosure, reusable application software, interoperability and secure information exchange, lifecycle affordability and encouraging competition and collaboration. Project Unit 0324: Funding is to maintain and update an information exchange environment to improve transparency of design disclosure and information exchange on past and current investments to support the principle of cross-program reuse, and to provide the tools and leadership for assisting programs through the transition to Naval Open Architecture (OA). The other elements of the OA transformation effort are being realized as management efficiencies within programs. Those elements include ensuring that all naval systems, families of systems, and programs move to modular OA in accordance with Department of Defense (DoD) Instruction 5000.1 dated 12 May 2003 which mandates that all DoD programs utilize open systems architectures to rapidly field affordable and interoperable systems. By direction of the Navy Service Acquisition Executive (SAE), PEO IWS was assigned overall responsibility and authority to direct the Navy's OA effort until that duty transferred to DASN (RDTE) in 2011. The Core OA funding line has remained with PEO IWS. That policy established a need to coordinate acquisition strategies, develop guidance and tools, and develop analysis of alternatives to determine OA software reuse practices within and across the Navy Communities of Interest (COI - Surface, Subsurface, Air, Space, C4I, USMC, and ONR). This project facilitates a strategic shift in the acquisition business process to facilitate cooperative competition in cross-domain/COI business relationships. This improves innovation and economies of scale throughout the Navy and Marine Corps. This leadership effort has identified the business case and potential return on investment for moving the Navy towards an open systems approach, supported the development of open systems technologies, and integrated best business and technical practices for open systems development within Naval acquisition. Naval OA ensures Navy-wide system architectures become extensible and scalable in function, capacity, and workload to meet Joint warfighting requirements. This also includes the identification and development of common software components, functions, reuse methodologies, and extensible product lines. In summary, this funding supports the management of a reuse repository and reuse information exchange portal, and the evolving business, systems engineering, and cultural changes required across all Naval programs as they migrate to function in a Joint, net-centric warfare environment. Project Unit 0385: The Rapid Prototype Development project is new in FY17 and addresses the advancement and transition of combat systems technology. It supports the goals and objectives of the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Navigation Plan, Commandant of the Marine Corps (CMC) Planning Guidance, and the Cooperative Strategy for 21st Century Seapower. This project also supports the Secretary of the Navy's (SECNAV) Innovation Vision and the Implementation Directive for Better Buying Power 3.0. These efforts will reinvigorate and increase the use of prototyping and experimentation to rapidly field new warfighting capabilities, concepts and technologies, and engineering solutions. The Rapid Prototype Development project With an emphasis on "Field Early" or "Fail Fast" methodologies, the project is intended to expedite the development, exploration and fielding of combat system innovations in six warfighting domains: surface warfare, air warfare, undersea warfare, expeditionary warfare, information dominance and special operations warfare. Prototype development efforts will be used to develop/refine Concepts of Operation (CONOPS) and operational requirements; evaluate the operational utility and technical feasibility of technology/engineering innovations; support limited fielding of prototypes (if required); and mitigate cost, schedule and performance risks associated with follow-on acquisition programs. Project Unit 0399: The Unmanned Rapid Prototype Development project is new in FY17 and was created to implement the Secretary of the Navy's (SECNAV) reorganization of the department to emphasize unmanned warfare systems and addresses the advancement and transition of naval warfare systems technology. This project funds Navy's prioritized portfolio of unmanned system (UxS) rapid development technology initiatives based on Navy warfighting needs and capability gaps. This project supports the goals and objectives of the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Navigation Plan and the Cooperative Strategy for 21st Century Seapower. Additionally, this project supports the Secretary of the Navy's (SECNAV) Innovation Vision and the Implementation Directive for Better Buying Power 3.0. The project will increase the use of rapid prototyping and demonstration to quickly introduce technologically advanced UxS capabilities to the Fleet and provide warfighters with direct opportunities to explore and refine operational concepts. The Unmanned Rapid Prototype Development project enables a strategic focus on the prioritization of UxS requirements and concepts, development of innovative UxS technologies, and the concurrent development of warfighting capabilities. With emphasis on "Field Early" or "Fail Fast" methodologies, the project will expedite the development, exploration and Fleet introduction of UxS technologies in the warfare areas of Surface, Air, Anti-Submarine, and Expeditionary Warfare, Information Dominance and Special Operations Warfare. The project will provide the Navy and Marine Corps with technical and operational utility assessments of technology/engineering innovations; ability to refine operational requirements and concepts of operation; support limited fielding of prototypes (as required); and mitigate cost, schedule and performance risk associated with follow-on acquisition programs.
