Tactical Electronic Surveillance System - Adv Dev

Abstract

Tactical Exploitation of National Capabilities (TENCAP) exploits national intelligence capabilities to pace evolving threats in support of operations during conflict and competition. TENCAP systems and technologies provide deep sensing to support commanders' situational understanding (patterns of life, threat intentions, etc.), indications & warnings (detection of enemy mobilization and hostile activity), and intelligence support to targeting (order of battle, electronic target folders, target detection, Battle Damage Assessment, etc.). TENCAP systems and technologies support Theater-level fires and effects. TENCAP systems enable integrated Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) / Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) / Electronic Warfare (EW) / and Cyberspace operations. TENCAP supports Army modernization priorities including Long Range Precision Fires, Assured Position Navigation and Timing/Space (APNT/S), Future Vertical Lift (FVL), and Air Missile Defense (AMD). In summary, TENCAP is a key enabler to defeating peer competitor Anti-Access / Area-Denial (A2/AD) strategies. Tactical Exploitation of National Capabilities (TENCAP) accomplishes the Army's Tactical Electronic Surveillance System Advance Development by leveraging National Intelligence Community (IC) capabilities through cross-agency engineering to evaluate, enhance, prototype, and transition Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) technologies/capabilities from the IC into Army systems and architectures. This Program Element includes three projects: 1) TENCAP Core project (907). 2) Tactical Intelligence Targeting Access Node (TITAN) (space) advanced development project (BX9). 3) Low Earth Orbit ISR (LEO ISR) development project (CC5).
