(U)Cooperative Engagement Capability
Abstract
The FY 2020 funding request was reduced by $12.900 million to account for the availability of prior year execution balances. Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC) significantly improves Battle Force Anti-Air Warfare (AAW) capability by coordinating all Battle Force AAW sensors into a single, real-time, composite track picture to support integrated fire control. CEC distributes sensor data from each USMC Command Control Unit, US Navy Ship, and US Navy Aircraft, or Cooperating Unit (CU), to all other CUs in the battle force through a real-time, line of sight, high data-rate sensor and engagement data distribution network. CEC is highly resistant to jamming and provides accurate gridlocking between CUs. Each CU independently employs high capacity, parallel processing and advanced algorithms to combine all distributed sensor data into a fire control quality track picture which is the same for all CUs. CEC data is presented as a superset of the best AAW sensor capabilities from each CU, all of which are integrated into a single input to each CU's combat weapons system. CEC significantly improves our Battle Force defense in depth, including both local area and ship defense capabilities against current and future AAW threats. Moreover, CEC provides critical connectivity and integration of over-land air defense systems capable of countering emerging air threats, including land attack cruise missiles, in a complex littoral environment. The CEC Program Office oversees CEC development for all services with funding provided for their respective combat systems. CEC consists of the Data Distribution System (DDS), the Cooperative Engagement Processor (CEP), and interface with Combat Systems and sensors. The DDS encodes and distributes own-ship sensor and engagement data and is a high capacity, jam resistant, directional system providing high data throughput as well common time and common positional frame of reference. The CEP is a high capacity distributed processor that processes data from all integrated radars. The data is passed to the ship's combat system as a high quality, common, continuous, engageable track. The Navy implemented a Signal Data Processor (SDP) approach to modify the current equipment to meet reduced size, weight, cost, power and cooling objectives. This SDP approach also supports continuity for interoperability improvements and program protection, as well as supporting open architecture initiatives, and comms independence. The SDP hardware complies with Category 3 Open Architecture Computing Environment (OACE) standards. The SDP-S is being fielded fleet-wide to all US Navy, USMC, US Army, and FMS CEC units. A family of antennas approach will be used to satisfy CEC requirements for obsolete components with lower life cycle costs (procurement, installation, and maintenance). These antennas enable future capability as well as providing a solution extensible to additional platforms. This effort for development and production of Common Array Block (CAB) antennas was competitively awarded in late FY2013. Network Enabled Electronic Defense System (NEEDS) modifies CEC software to add significant Electronic Warfare capability. CEC operates in increasingly contentious cyber-space. Measures are being taken to robustly mitigate, and where possible completely remediate cyber vulnerabilities.
