SEW Architecture/Eng Support

Abstract

This Program Element (PE) contains four projects: Maritime Concept Generation and Development (CGCD), Fleet Experimentation , Allied/Coalition Interoperability and Information Dominance (ACIID), and Space and Electronic Warfare (SEW) Engineering. The CGCD project (2356) focuses on the generation, development and validation of warfighting concepts, Concept of Operations (CONOPS) and doctrine in order to eliminate war fighting gaps. Beginning in FY 2014, the CGCD project also includes funding for the CNO's Rapid Innovation Cell (CRIC), a small group of disruptive thinkers managed by the Navy Warfare Development Command (NWDC) to identify and quickly test in an operational environment, innovative ideas and technologies that are outside the traditional development and acquisition processes. NWDC also manages the Fleet Experimentation program (formerly Sea Trial) under the guidance of Commander USFF and COMPACFLT. The FLEX project (3319) (formerly Sea Trial) develops new or improved warfighter capabilities through the experimentation of high payoff initiatives, technologies and concepts, Fleet Concepts of Operations (CONOPS), doctrine, and new tactics, techniques and procedures (TTP). The objective of FLEX is to produce recommended changes in doctrine, organization, training, materiel, leadership development, personnel, facilities, and policy (DOTMLPF-P) actions, with an emphasis on non-materiel solutions. Focusing on war fighting capability improvement through experimentation aimed at delivering potential solutions in support of current Operations Plans (OPLANs), FLEX spans both operational and tactical levels of warfare and reaches across the full range of military operations to enhance war fighting capabilities or fill current or future capability gaps. The ACIID 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 war fighting 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 Information Dominance and the Navy's contribution to the Global Information Grid (GIG).
