Air Defense Command, Control and Intelligence - Eng Dev
Abstract
Army Long-Range Persistent Surveillance (ALPS) is a passive sensor that provides long range surveillance against Cruise Missile (CM), Fixed Wing (FW), Rotary Wing (RW), and Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) threats. Prototype systems will be provided to meet multiple Combatant Command identified operational needs and to conduct an assessment. The objectives of this effort are to provide component and subsystem maturity in a system-of-systems environment and to reduce subsequent integration risk. This program will also integrate ALPS to support the Army Integrated Air and Missile Defense (AIAMD) architecture. The Air and Missile Defense Planning and Control System (AMDPCS) provides integration of air and missile defense operations at all echelon. Specifically, Air and Missile Defense Workstation (AMDWS) provides a correlated air picture using local radars, allowing the Commander the visibility and situational understanding of airspace; other automated defense design and staff planning tools in AMDWS afford Soldiers horizontal and vertical collaborative planning with adjacent units. Air Defense System Integrator (ADSI) serves as a joint tactical data link gateway/air picture, and when correlated by Forward Area Air Defense Command and Control (FAAD C2) and displayed on AMDWS, provides a near-real time, three dimensional joint air picture for the Commander. Joint Tactical Terminal (JTT) provides Soldiers theater ballistic missile (TBM) early warning, allowing them to take appropriate actions. AMDPCS is fielded to Army air and missile defense commands (AAMDC), air defense artillery brigades (ADA BDE), air and missile defense battalions (AMD BN), and Terminal High Altitude Area Air Defense batteries (THAAD BTRY). Air Defense Airspace Management (ADAM), a variant of AMDPCS with similar capabilities, is fielded to corps, divisions, brigade combat teams (BCT), and multi-functional support brigades. As part of capability and technology reuse, AMDWS and FAAD C2 are core components of the Counter-Rocket, Artillery, Mortar (C-RAM) system-of-systems currently deployed in multiple areas of operation. The Counter-Rocket, Artillery, Mortar (C-RAM) system-of-systems (SoS) is an evolutionary program that detects RAM launches, provides localized warning to the defended area, intercepts rounds in flight, and enhances response to and defeat of enemy forces. C-RAM combines multi-service fielded and non-developmental item sensors, command and control (C2) equipment, a commercial industry-produced warning system, and a modified U.S. Navy intercept system (Land-based Phalanx Weapon System [LPWS]), all connected via a wireless local area network. The Forward Area Air Defense Command and Control (FAAD C2) system, also under the management of the C-RAM Project Office, has been enhanced to integrate the sensors, weapons, and warning systems to provide C2 for the C-RAM SoS. C-RAM C2 software correlates the RAM sensor data, evaluates the threat, provides early warning, directs engagements, and cues counterfire systems and reaction forces. C-RAM C2 employs an agile software development, maintenance, and sustainment strategy, with Urgent Materiel Releases (UMR) every 6 months and Full Materiel Releases (FMR) every 15-18 months, to keep pace with rapidly fielding integrated systems to meet operational needs. The C-RAM SoS capability in theater is supported through the Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO) process. Base RDT&E supports C-RAM C2 basic Air Defense functionality as well as directed enhancements to the C-RAM SoS capability, such as development and integration of C-RAM network security enhancements and development of all-digital radar technology to address emerging threats. The Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-UAS) effort is in response to Joint Urgent Operational Need (JUON) CC-0558 to support identification, development, testing, evaluation, and integration of technologies to provide an overall evolutionary capability to defeat small UAS threats at 89 U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) sites. The C-UAS effort provides warfighters the ability to comprehensively detect, track, identify, and defeat enemy Groups 1 and 2 lightweight, low altitude, commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) UASs.
