Space & Elec War Surv/Recon

Abstract

(U) Link Crimson (Navy TENCAP) is a congressionally directed program to conduct space-related R&D in order to field integrated national-to-tactical system capabilities in response to OPLANS for PACOM and CENTCOM. TENCAP responds to the fleet's top, strategically important capability gaps within National systems and is the Navy's primary interface with the NRO and national agencies for the rapid fielding (12-18 months) of cutting edge technology. These include advanced sensors, onboard and ground processing, and integrated information fusion capabilities. Link Crimson supports operational missions in Enterprise ISR Convergence, Irregular Warfare, Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO), Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW), Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA), Information Operations (IO), Anti-Surface Warfare (ASUW), Mine Warfare (MIW), Environmental Data (METOC), ISR Mgmt / Battlespace Awareness (BA). (U) This program is funded under Budget Activity 6 because it supports the operations and installations required for general research and development use. Program baseline will also address research and development into Strategic Signals; Undersea and Irregular Warfare; Counter Unmanned Air Systems; Processing, Exploitation, and Dissemination; Commercial Navigation Radar Threats; Maritime Intelligence Fusion; Open Ocean Surveillance; Threat Geo-location; and Command & Control. Link Crimson also supports and participates in Fleet exercises, which provide the venue for testing and demonstrating new prototype capabilities and enhancements. Link Crimson holistically develops warfighting capabilities by synchronizing insertion of technologies with existing Navy, joint, and national agency programs. Additional detailed information is available at a higher level of classification.
