Advanced Combat Systems Tech
Abstract
Open architecture sets standards for technology fields to promote interoperability. For defense systems, standards enable interconnectivity across services and in coalition operations at machine-to-machine speeds. Reducing barriers associated with proprietary software speeds development and delivery of warfighting advantage. 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 implement of the Naval Open Systems Architecture (OSA) strategy. The implementation of this strategy provides the tools and leadership for assisting programs and the Naval Research and Development Establishment through the technical, business and cultural transition to OSA. The primary tools and assistance will be established through a set of technical reference frameworks for a Naval Digital Warfighting Platform (DWP) with consistent contract language guidance, Intellectual Property strategies and improvements in transparency of design disclosure and information exchange on past and current investments to support portfolio management and cross-program reuse. Applicable small business technologies such as Automated Test/Re-Test will also be leveraged to facilitate the Navy's implementation of OSA. The OSA transformation effort will be applied to programs of record. Those elements include ensuring that naval systems, families of systems, programs and prototypes move to modular OSA in accordance with DoD Instruction 5000.01 of 7 Jan 2015 which mandates that all DoD programs utilize Modular OSA to field affordable and interoperable systems. This project facilitates a strategic shift in the technical and business methods to establish cooperation and cross-domain/COI business relationships. This improves innovation and economies of scale throughout the Navy and Marine Corps. This project includes identification of business cases and return on investment for moving the Navy towards an open systems approach, supported by the development of open systems technologies and integrated best business and technical practices for open systems development within Naval acquisition. This project also supports Systems engineering and acquisition services to deliver capabilities through acquisition, development, integration, production, test, deployment and sustainment of interoperable command, control, communication, computers, intelligence, surveillance reconnaissance, cyber, and information technology capabilities enabling Information Warfare; and other functions. Naval OSA 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. Project Unit 2480: The efforts described in this mission area address the advanced component development and prototype demonstration associated with the Navy's Solid State Laser Technology Maturation (SSL-TM) Innovative Naval Prototypes (INP) Program and the Leap Ahead Technology (LA-Tech) investments. The SSL-TM program is developing an integrated Laser Weapons System Demonstrator (LWSD). SSL-TM will provide a new capability to the Fleet to address known capability gaps against asymmetric threats (UAS, small boats, and ISR sensors) and will inform future acquisition strategies, system designs, integration architectures, and fielding plans for laser weapon systems. Project Unit 3422: The SHARC Surface Platforms demonstration project is part of the Department of Defense Third Offset Strategy as one element in the Sensor Grid category for 24/7 autonomy infused Situational Awareness (SA). This project will purchase Commercial-off-the-Shelf SHARC Platforms (wave gliders) and integrate four (4) unique Government-owned classified mission payloads focused on the detection of threats. These capabilities will enable CONOPS development in an operationally relevant environment to demonstrate how these technologies can improve the SA to the battlespace Commanders. Project Unit 3423: The LOCUST demonstration is part of the Department of Defense Third Offset Strategy as one element in the Effector Grid category for small autonomous systems. LOCUST leverages the BA-3 Innovative Naval Prototype program developing and demonstrating swarming technology. The BA-3 effort is developing both the air vehicle, UAS swarming behaviors, and miniaturized sensor systems. ONR has demonstrated an autonomous system capable of launching 33 UASs in 40 seconds and flying them in a coordinated swarm. This BA-4 effort is trailing the BA-3 demonstration of technologies by a fiscal quarter and then demonstrating the technology in operationally relevant environments with military mission applications. Project Unit 3424: The Heterogeneous Collaborative Unmanned Systems (HCUS) demonstration is part of the Department of Defense Third Offset Strategy as one element in the Effector Grid category for small autonomous systems. HCUS provides autonomous, tactical monitoring of an adversary's port-sized littoral area for an extended period of time with capability to apply limited offensive effects on-demand. Vehicles and sensors are intended to be used in contested environments - employing local communications nets, autonomous vehicle behavior, low bandwidth command links and local navigation with no requirement for GPS input. HCUS systems can be encapsulated and deployed as a single payload, or a small number of payload packages designed for specific missions. The payloads can be carried into theater by various manned or unmanned platforms depending on the degree of stealth required. A week-long project demonstration will simulate covert deployment, operations of autonomous UAVs over the area of interest, data exfiltration to a remote operator, autonomous UAV recharging via USVs and/or UUVs, deployment of unmanned ground sensors for persistent sensing, and remote operator on-demand offensive attack on a simulated target. Project 3437: The EMW/SEWIP/SSEE Accelerator is part of the Department of Defense Third Offset Strategy to improve real time Electro-Magnetic Maneuver Warfare operations. This effort will develop integrated cross platform active and passive sensing solutions, next generation network and real time spectrum operations. Project 3438: This activity addresses the advanced component development and prototype demonstration associated with ONR's Innovative Naval Prototypes (INP) Program and the Leap Ahead Technology (LA-Tech) investments. INP and LA-Tech investments represent game changing technologies with the potential to revolutionize operational concepts. They are disruptive in nature as they would dramatically change the way naval forces fight. INPs and LA-Techs push the imagination of our nation's technical talent to deliver transformational warfighting capabilities. Investments may include such mission areas as Unmanned and Autonomous Systems, Directed Energy / Electric Weapons, Electromagnetic Maneuver Warfare, Cyber Warfare, and Undersea Warfare. Advanced Component Development and Prototypes (ACD&P) efforts necessary to evaluate integrated technologies, representative modes or prototype systems in a high fidelity and realistic operating environment are funded in this PE. Most of the work in this PE can be classified between Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 6 (system/subsystem model or prototype demonstration in a relevant environment) and TRL 7 (system prototype demonstration in an operational environment).

- Change Summary Explanation
- The FY 2022 funding request was reduced by 1.352 million to account for the availability of prior year execution balances. FINANCIAL: The decrease in funding from FY2021 to FY2022 is due to the various completion of parts of the SHARC program and HIJENKS. The reduced testing requirements of the HIJENKS advanced airborne payload which removed the need for related activities of flight platform modeling, simulation and certification. Therefore, the platform modification activities, system test activities, environmental system testing, associated flight modeling and simulation and program management oversight tasking associated with platform modification and certification no longer exists. The SHARC program completed development, integration and testing of over half the platforms that meet mission requirements. Project Unit 0324 - FINANCIAL: The overall program funding in FY22 was increased by (+$0.267M) from Previous to Current President's Budget to account for various program adjustments. TECHNICAL: Mission Description, Budget Item Justifications and accomplishments/program plan descriptions updated to better show synchronization of Project 0324 activities in support of Project Overmatch and digital warfighting transformation objectives. SCHEDULE: Activities and milestones clarified to better show synchronization of Project 0324 activities and deliverables in support of Project Overmatch as well as digital warfighting transformation objectives.
