Combat System Integration
Abstract
A. MISSION DESCRIPTION: Project 0164: Combat System Integration: COMNAVSEASYSCOM (SEA 05H) is assigned central Navy responsibility for interoperability, directing the development of policy and architecture for Strike Force (SF) warfare systems engineering and implementation of a common warfare systems engineering process. Furthermore, SEA 05H provides top level direction and execution for certification and assessments which support capability and quality for ships and submarines. SEA 05H has developed processes and tools including the establishment of a force-level warfare systems engineering process, stewardship of the introduction of Combat Systems, Command, Control, Computers, Communications and Intelligence (C5I) modernization and improvement into the Fleet Response Plan (FRP), Command & Control, Communications, Computers, & Combat Systems Integration Modernization Process (C5IMP), configuration management and certification processes, and force-level interoperability assessments using the Distributed Engineering Plant (DEP) land-based testing tool. This project funds the core elements required to conduct Warfare Systems Integration and Interoperability Testing (WSI2T) in accordance with the Naval Warfare Systems Certification Policy (NWSCP), Joint NAVSEA, NAVAIR, and SPAWAR SYSCOM Instruction. This project funds SF configuration management through the FRP, shore based testing and WSI2T certification of operational computer systems in a test environment similar to their ultimate shipboard operational environment, and interoperability assessments (IA) which are a prerequisite for operational certification of the ships in SF configurations prior to deployment. Force Certification of deploying ships in SF configurations is accomplished through the utilization of the Navy's DEP, which provides operational configurations for all Naval combat systems located at multiple Navy land-based sites located across the country and connected via networking technology. The DEP provides the only opportunity for comprehensive interoperability testing of combat system and C5I configuration items prior to shipboard delivery for operational use in surface combatant platforms and strike group units. It is a U.S. Fleet Forces Command requirement that all SFs undergo IA testing in the DEP prior to deployment. Further, the DEP provides the mechanism to support the Navy's participation in the Joint testing environments as well as the coalition forces through the Combined Forces Battle Laboratories (CFBL) network to allow for assessments of both Joint and Coalition interoperability. Program focus is on new systems and platforms under development. As the Navy embarks on Navy Open Architecture (OA), Common Network Interface (CNI) has been selected for upgrade on the LHA, LHD, and LSD ship classes. CNI is an open interface system that modernizes legacy amphibious ships that support the Expeditionary Strike Group (ESG). CNI uses Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) hardware and common interoperable software compliant with the Navy's OA standards to integrate the data from ship's sensors, external links, and FORCEnet sources into an operational picture to the warfighter. CNI provides rapid operational capability upgrades via a Rapid Capability Insertion Process (RCIP) using primarily software upgrades. CNI allows for the implementation of the Integrated Architecture Behavior Model (IABM), FORCEnet and Network centric connectivity by providing the necessary fleet support activities which include: systems engineeringsupport, software support, and integrated logistics support (ILS) to ensure proper coordination and connectivity of hardware and software components for accurate operation. Funding for CNI development was completed in FY09. The Navy has also approved the Amphibious Air Warfare (AAW) and Amphibious Improvement Program (AIP) which will integrate Close-In Weapon System (CIWS) radar into the combat system. This is a significant change in how the combat system operates and requires modification of existing test beds to prove this concept and certify it for development. Additional capabilities that also require certification for deployment are Adaptive Engage Control (AEC), next generation Command and Control Processor (C2P) with Joint Range Extension (JRE) and the introduction of Mode 5, Identification, Friend or Foe (IFF) system. The Navy, through Automated Test and Retest (ATRT), is developing an automated test capability applicable at each phase of software development that provides reproducible, quantitative evaluation of software performance in a cost and time effective manner. ATRT capability will enable acceleration for testing and re-testing of open architecture software and reinforce a requirement to expedite software implementations and upgrades. ATRT implementations target AEGIS Combat System and the Joint Single Integrated Air Picture (SIAP) Programs within development, and the Ship Self Defense System (SSDS) Program within production, to demonstrate savings for test and evaluation evolutions throughout the acquisition life cycle. Funding for ATRT was completed in FY09.
