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. 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 has shifted to a Continuous Improvement / Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) model leveraging multiple Development and Secure cloud Operational environments (DevSecOps) which will produce baseline software upgrades twice annually. Within this CI/CD process, this project will develop, design, integrate, and test additional tools/capabilities for USW-DSS Build 3 including, but not limited to: Waterspace Management (WSM) and 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 Theater ASW (TASW) capabilities, Data-Focused Navy Tactical Cloud Integration, and virtualization of the electronic Master Tactical Plot (eMTP) visualization/display service as 'Web USW-DSS' 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). Future USW-DSS Build 3 Fleet Capability Releases (FCRs) will focus on required system re-architecture to keep pace with the latest network and system hardware obsolescence as well as expanded processing and user interface capacity requirements that are driven by expanded multi-system and multi-level security inputs. These FCRs will also achieve commonality between afloat and ashore USW-DSS systems, such that continuous development improvements impact both shipboard and TUSW Command Headquarters (TUSWCHQ) watch floors, as well as training and Fleet support installations uniformly. 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 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 Office (PEO) 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 to fuse TUSW C2 data within USW-DSS and an ever-increasing number of C4I tactical data sources into a CTP. This development will include tactical dissemination of USW tactical picture and targeting data to the submarine, allied system-to-system interoperability, Unmanned Undersea Vehicle (UUV), and Subsurface and Seabed Warfare (SSW) situational awareness.
