Combat Identification

Abstract

Combat Identification (CID) is a family of systems to maximize overall combat effectiveness by minimizing and mitigating incidents of fratricide and maximizing the situational understanding of the trigger puller across a broad spectrum of Joint and Coalition combat operations. This is accomplished by the identification of friends, enemies/foes, and neutrals in the Joint and Coalition battle space. Based on program prioritization from the Deputy Secretary of Defense and the Deputy's Advisory Working Group (DAWG), the Joint Cooperative Target Identification-Ground (JCTI-G) efforts have been refocused to address fratricide incidents involving Fires-on-Dismounts (FoD) and Air to Ground (A-G) fires. This is a Joint effort with the United States Marine Corps that will be equitably allocated in support of Fires-onDismount development. This program has been designated Special Interest by the Defense Acquisition Executive. FY11 supports JCTI-G program efforts for FoD and A-G. These efforts assume a Materiel Development Decision (MDD) and initiation of an Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) in 2QFY10 that results in a Materiel Solution decision by the end of 4QFY10. The results of the AoA will be used to adjust the program schedule as required and inform the Army funding resource requirements for FY13. Milestone (MS) A decisions for entry into Technology Development acquisition phase for both FoD and A-G efforts are assumed to occur in 4QFY11. Efforts will focus the execution of the MS decision process to include program and acquisition document preparation. Also, efforts will include technical and acquisition planning for contract solicitation such as requirements analyses and the generation of an Acquisition Requirements Package. In addition, funding in FY11 will continue with the technical maturation efforts associated with the FoD requirement. .
