Combat Identification Technology
Abstract
Combat Identification is the process of determining the identity of an entity in the battlespace. It is essential to determine if that entity is a friend, neutral or enemy; and if an enemy, the nature of the entity determines how it should be engaged. The Combat Identification team's mission is to identify new and promising technology candidates, evaluate the usefulness of the technologies, conduct demonstrations in operationally relevant environments, and coordinate strategies that expedite transition to more than one platform. This Program Element aims to integrate and transition new capabilities into fielded systems, and improve existing capabilities. The mission area consists of three projects: non-cooperative Combat Identification, cooperative Combat Identification, and Combat Identification database development. Non-cooperative Combat Identification techniques do not depend on a response from the targeted platform - such as high range resolution radar that measures the length of a target. Cooperative Combat Identification systems require communication between two participating platforms. Combat Identification database development matures techniques to ensure target representations in the database enable the algorithms to perform correctly. Both non-cooperative and cooperative Combat Identification techniques are currently in the field, and are necessary elements of the kill chain that ensure mission success and reduce fratricide. Activities also include studies and analysis to support both current program planning and execution and future program planning. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver Combat Identification technologies. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605831F. This effort is in Budget Activity 4, Advanced Component Development and Prototypes (ACD&P), because efforts are necessary to evaluate integrated technologies, representative modes or prototype systems in a high fidelity and realistic operating environment.

- Change Summary Explanation
- Decrease in FY 2021 reflects reprogramming to support Research and Development Projects, 10 U.S.C. Section 2363, an amendment to PL 110-417, 10 U.S.C. Section 2358 and 10 U.S.C. 2805(d)(1)(B). The FY 2022 President's Budget submittal did not reflect FY 2023 through FY 2026 funding. Therefore, an explanation of the change between the two budget positions for FY2023 cannot be made in a relevant manner.
