Combat Information Center Conv

Abstract

This Program Element (PE) addresses the development and integration of new and improved technologies into the Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) and Theater Undersea Warfare (TUSW) Command & Control (C2) systems supporting the warfighter. PROJECT 3094: Undersea Warfare Decision Support System (USW-DSS) is the Navy Program of Record ASW C2 Net-Centric system supporting the warfighter. USW-DSS continues to develop and test the software changes and perform the certification testing necessary to address end of life (EOL) support issues impacting USW-DSS Build 3 as well as address emerging mandated cybersecurity requirements. Additionally, USW-DSS will develop, design, integrate, and test additional tools/capabilities for Build 3 including, but not limited to: Waterspace Prevention of Mutual Interference (PMI), Common Track Manager, Link 16 Connectivity, Common Tactical Picture (CTP), Platform Data Fusion Integration, Cross-Platform Data Fusion, Automated Asset Allocation, Asset/Threat State Information, Vulnerability Analysis enhancement, ASW Track Management, Automated Re-planning, Engagement Target Pairing, improved TASW capabilities, Data-Focused Navy Tactical Cloud Integration, and incorporating the electronic Master Tactical Plot (eMTP) visualization/display service on which to render the CTP/Common Operational Picture (COP). These improvements address requirements from the Commander U.S. Fleet Forces endorsement of "Theater ASW Capability Requirements" letter (dated 24 February 2017). As a result of the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) direction to implement a Compile to Combat in 24 Hours (C2C24) software development process, USW-DSS Build 3 Fleet Capability Release (FCR) 2 and FCR 3 schedules have been revised to reflect required system re-architecture efforts, which necessitated shifting of the Design, Development, Integration/Test, and Certification Test phases. USW-DSS Build 3 FCR 2 and FCR 3 schedules have also been revised to reflect a push for commonality between afloat and ashore USW-DSS systems and continuous development improvements impacting both shipboard and Theater Undersea Warfare Command Headquarter (TUSWCHQ) watch floors instead of a staggered FCR 2 (afloat) and FCR 3 (ashore) improvement plan previously envisioned. This schedule revision will drive the acquisition of cutting-edge ASW tools to local and theater ASW commanders faster and with more interoperability. PROJECT 3439: The Networked Architecture for Undersea Theater Integrated C2 Advantage (NAUTICA) Project provides Theater Anti-Submarine Warfare (TASW) architecture development, systems engineering, and design, and continues the system engineering effort required to design, develop and deliver an integrated TASW battle management suite in accordance with the 2007 Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) Initial Capabilities Document (ICD). The plan prioritizes NAUTICA investments in accordance with the Commander U.S. Fleet Forces endorsement of "Theater ASW Capability Requirements" letter (dated 24 February 2017) and Center for Security Forces (CSF) letter "Criticality of Sustaining PMI and WSM Capability and Meeting Emerging Requirements for Great Competition" submitted to OPNAV N2N6. The design of the integrated TASW battle management suite will include a system of systems TASW architecture to enable the existing programs of record under development from the Program Executive Offices (PEOs) for Integrated Warfare Systems (IWS), PEO Command, Controls, Communications, Computers and Intelligence (C4I), PEO AIR, PEO SUB, and N9SP to exploit a common framework. The common architecture will define the key data exchanges, common displays and processing, data models, cross domain interfaces, and multi-level security software that will enable systems such as USW-DSS and the Distributed Common Ground System - Navy (DCGS-N) to exchange, display, and exploit information at the appropriate classifications.

• Change Summary Explanation: FUNDING CHANGES SINCE FY 2021 BUDGET AT THE OVERALL PE LEVEL: - FY 2020 decrease ($-0.616M) is the result of the Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) transfer. - FY 2021 decrease ($-0.057M) is the result of the fair-share application of a Congressional undistributed reduction. - FY 2022 decrease ($-0.557M) is due to the application of contract services savings and the incorporation of Navy Working Capital Fund (NWCF) and miscellaneous rate adjustments. PROJECT 3094 - FY 2021 TO PB22 REQUEST DECREASE: - FY 2021 ($10.279M) to FY 2022 ($10.198M) decrease ($-0.081M) is due to the application of contract services savings and the incorporation of NWCF rate adjustments. PROJECT 3094 - SCHEDULE CHANGES SINCE FY 2021 BUDGET: - USW-DSS Build 3 FCR 1 was expanded to include the Waterspace PMI requirement including Development, Integration/Test, and Test Certification events. - USW-DSS Build 3 FCR 2 and FCR 3 schedules have been revised to reflect a push for commonality between afloat and ashore USW-DSS systems and continuous development improvements impacting both shipboard and TUSWCHQ watch floors instead of a staggered FCR 2 (afloat) and FCR 3 (ashore) improvement plan previously envisioned. This schedule revision will drive the acquisition of cutting-edge ASW tools to local and theater ASW commanders faster and with more interoperability. - USW-DSS Build 3 FCR 2 was extended, driven by the requirement to implement Waterspace PMI into FCR 1. FCR 2 will now deliver agile continuous improvement driving more overlapping development, integration, and delivery through Development, Security, and Operations (DevSecOps). - USW-DSS Build 3 FCR 3 has been adjusted to follow the same cadence driven by DevSecOps in Build 3 FCR 2. PROJECT 3439 - FY 2021 TO PB22 DECREASE: - FY 2021 ($2.382M) to FY 2022 ($1.433M) decrease ($-0.949M) reflects the completion of NAUTICA Phase I development and rapid prototyping efforts. PROJECT 3439 - SCHEDULE CHANGES SINCE FY 2021 BUDGET: NAUTICA TASW Phase II High Side Sensor Fusion: - Initiate the Development phase in Q4 FY 2021 vice Q3 FY 2022. - Include Integration/Test phase starting in Q1 FY 2023. NAUTICA TASW Phase III TASW as a Service: - Include Development and Integration/Test phases.
