Warfare Innovation Management

Abstract

Allied/Coalition Maritime Environment (ACME) 0798: This project promotes interoperability with allied and coalition forces by facilitating maritime interoperability in both processes and communication systems, including emerging capabilities, to counter growing high-end asymmetric threats. Space & Electronic Warfare (SEW) Engineering 2144: This project is a systems engineering non-acquisition program to develop, test, implement Technical Authority (TA) products, and validate Naval Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR), Business Information Technology (IT), and Space System architectures to support naval, Joint and Coalition missions across normal, contested, and degraded cyber/operational environments. The objective of this project is carried out by multiple tasks that ensure development and delivery of Naval Information Warfare (IW) capabilities that are well-integrated, interoperable, secure, and resilient to meet validated warfighting requirements. MIDS/JTRS 3020: Separate and distinct MIDS program funding requested in PE0604280N Project 3020, the funding within this PE provides for improvements to the TTNT Terminal Software and Waveform in order to out-pace the threat. The Multifunctional Information Distribution System (MIDS) program office is the Performing Activity in the Navy (Lead Service for Department of Defense (DOD)) Link 16 capability and consists of two (2) product lines, MIDS Low Volume Terminal (LVT) (legacy hardware defined radio) and MIDS Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) (software (SW) defined radio). The MIDS JTRS has four channels and adds capabilities such as Link 16 Enhanced Throughput (ET), Link 16 FR, SW programmability, CM, and Four Net Concurrent Multi-Netting with Concurrent Contention Receive (CMN-4). MIDS JTRS TTNT, provides an Internet Protocol-based networking capability on tactical aircraft. TTNT is a low latency, high throughput waveform that has the capability to support data exchange between fast-moving tactical aircraft, weapons, and unmanned aircraft, in addition to air, land, and sea-based command and control nodes, in a variety of air-to-air and air-to-ground missions including time sensitive targeting, air warfare, close air support, non-traditional ISR, and anti-surface warfare. TTNT and MIDS JTRS CMN-4 directly supports Naval Integrated Fire Control (NIFC) capability requirements. These capabilities provide Joint Airborne Network-Tactical Edge functionality to run advanced mission applications in a cross-platform/cross-domain tactical network enterprise. The FY2024 funding is to continue the efforts for MIDS JTRS terminals and terminal integration into a classified program. Fleet Experimentation 3319: The U.S. Navy's Fleet Experimentation (FLEX) project advances operational and tactical 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 main focus of FLEX between 2023 and 2028 is to operationalize A Design For Maintaining Maritime Superiority Blue Line of Effort (LOE) through the execution of Fleet Design materiel/non-materiel capability employment. Trident Warrior Project 3320: The U.S. Navy's Trident Warrior (TW) experimentation campaign enables early delivery of capabilities to the warfighter via Fleet-directed Trident Warrior operational events with an emphasis on United States Fleet Forces/Commander Pacific Fleet (USFF/CPF) directed focus areas. Maritime Communications Demonstration Project 3420: Classified Project Maritime Communications Demonstration (MCD) funding was realigned from project 3319 FLEX in FY18. The Expeditionary SFOC Communications is developing and experimenting innovative concepts designed to validate both materiel and non-materiel methodologies to provide resilient command and control within the maritime domain. Identified previous work done within Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) channels, and will leverage lessons learned.
