SEW Architecture/Eng Support

Abstract

This Program Element (PE) contains three projects: Maritime Battle Center (MBC), Over-the-Horizon Targeting (OTH-T), and Space and Electronic Warfare (SEW) Engineering. The MBC project (2357) focuses on fleet experimentation in order to eliminate warfighting gaps and validate Navy Concept of Operations (CONOPS) and doctrine. The MBC also manages the Sea Trial program of fleet experimentation that is administered by the Sea Trial Executive Steering Group (STESG). Both MBC and Sea Trial integrate emergent concepts and technologies through experiments, analysis, modeling and simulation to support warfighting capability development. Sea Trial experimentation is dedicated to providing solutions to near term (within the Fiscal Year Defense Plan) warfighting gaps through focused operational agent (Commander Second Fleet, Commander Third Fleet and Commander Naval Network Warfare Command) led experimentation. The flag level Sea Trial Executive Steering Group prioritizes proposed Sea Trial experiments annually. The MBC will also serve as the Navy representative to the Joint Battle Center and the battle labs of other services. The OTH-T and SEW Engineering projects (0798 and 2144 respectively) are systems engineering non-acquisition programs to develop, test, implement technical authority, and validate naval Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) architectures to support naval missions in the Joint and Coalition Theater. The mission of these projects are carried out by multiple tasks that are used to ensure naval C4ISR Command and Control Warfare (C2W) components of SEW are effectively integrated into service-oriented architecture delivering net centric warfare capability. Additionally, these projects ensure that (1) the composite operational capabilities of SEW systems (not the individual component systems) conform to the naval C4ISR architecture and enhance warfighting capability as related to the objectives of National Defense Strategy, evolving joint visions and direction, such as net centric capability, and are guided by warfighter requirements; (2) that SEW systems and systems integration efforts involve leading-edge technology transfer of information processing technologies primarily through integration of government and commercial off-the-shelf (GOTS/COTS) products to enhance the Navy's operational capability, interoperability, warfighter effectiveness, flexible reconfiguration, as well as reduce costs; and (3) that SEW systems integration efforts promote the delivery of FORCEnet and the Navy's contribution to the Global Information Grid (GIG). The SEW Engineering project (2144) also includes efforts supporting the Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) program. MDA is the effective understanding of anything associated with the global maritime domain that could impact the security, safety, economy, or environment of the United States. Due to the number of efforts in this PE, the programs described are representative of the work included in this PE.
