Nav Integrated Fire Control-Counter Air Sys Eng

Abstract

3159 Naval Integrated Fire Control - Counter Air (NIFC-CA) Systems Engineering Integration and Test (SEI&T) project is a systems engineering effort to extend the Naval Theater Air and Missile Defense battlespace out to the maximum kinematic range of our weapons. This includes targets beyond the detection range of the shooter, including Engage On Remote (EoR) and Over the Horizon (OTH) targets. The NIFC-CA project exploits capabilities inherent in existing systems, optimizes current and emerging technologies in component system upgrades, integrates them together, and performs kill chain tests, forming an interoperable System of Systems (SoS) to maximize future air defense capabilities. As directed by OPNAV, the project is focused on SEI&T efforts to integrate the From The Sea (FTS) kill chain consisting of the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye, Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC), AEGIS, and SM-6 missile. This PE will support efforts including system definition and architecture development, performance prediction, performance assessment, system test and risk reduction efforts, system analysis, modeling and simulation, and capability demonstrations for the FTS kill chain. The project also facilitates the development of the concept of operations with the warfighter to maximize effectiveness when deployed with the Fleet.
