Space & Elec War Surv/Recon
Abstract
The Link Crimson program was congressionally chartered in 1977 (updated in 1980) to oversee the tactical use of reconnaissance satellites. The program rapidly develops (1-2 years) prototype systems, sensors, and software that exploit space systems to support tactical Fleet problems. Additionally, Link Crimson focuses on elements of National ISR systems and National-Tactical Integration operations to rapidly fill tactical capability gaps via improved, fused, all-source products at multiple security levels. Link Crimson also supports and participates in fleet exercises, which provide the venue for testing and demonstrating new prototype capabilities and enhancements to existing programs into which R&D efforts transition. This program supports the operations and installations required for general research and development use. Program baseline funds will address research and development into potential unmanned vehicles, irregular warfare, anti-piracy, strike, information operations, Battlespace and Maritime Domain Awareness (Anti-Submarine Warfare & Anti-Surface Warfare), fusion, visualization, ballistic missile defense (BMD) threats and cross-domain and cyber solutions. Additional information is held at a higher classification.
