C3I Advanced Development
Abstract
This program develops and demonstrates Air Force Command, Control, Communications, and Intelligence (C3I) technologies for the warfighter. The technologies address the ability to support the global information exchange of correlated and fused information to ensure the Air Force can plan and execute missions in a dynamic, complex environment. The Dominant Battlespace Awareness project will provide affordable operational data capabilities for personnel to understand militarily relevant situations, on a consistent basis, with the precision and timeliness needed to accomplish the mission. The Battlespace Information Exchange project will develop reliable, secure, jam-resistant, inter-operable worldwide global information enterprise capabilities, providing the Air Force assured communications and reach-back capability in a distributed operational environment. It will also demonstrate offensive cyber operations technologies allowing attack and exploitation of adversary information systems by the Air Force. The Aerospace Information Dominance project provides the technology and demonstrations needed to allow the warfighter to plan, assess, execute, monitor, and re-plan on the compressed time scales required for tomorrow's conflicts, whether in combat or peacekeeping missions. This program is in Budget Activity 3, Advanced Technology Development, since it develops and demonstrates technologies for existing upgrades and/or new system developments that have military utility and address warfighter needs.

- Change Summary Explanation
- Note: In FY 2010, Congress added $4.0 million for Cyber Attack and Security Environment and $2.9 million for MPOI for Battlespace Information Exchange . These efforts were transfered to PE 0603788F, Global Information Dominance, via Form 1414. The FY 2010 President's Budget submittal did not reflect FY 2011 through FY 2015 funding. A detailed explanation of changes between the two budget positions is not provided because it cannot be made in a relevant manner. C. Performance Metrics Under Development.
