COMMAND, CONTROL, COMMUNICATIONS, COMPUTERS (C4)
Abstract
This activity integrates and demonstrates enhanced communications and situational awareness in warfighting environments and communication and situational awareness technologies for near term USMC operations. The focus is on development and leveraging advanced C4 technologies to enable enhanced Distributed Operations, Irregular Warfare, and Marine Corps Expeditionary Warfare. Specifically, the C4 Thrust intends to demonstrate markedly improved capabilities in over-the-horizon (OTH), beyond line-of-sight, and restricted environment communications; mobile networking; tactical decision making; tactical situational awareness; and small unit position location and navigation. Advanced technology resources will be applied to complement commercial, other service, and defense agency investments to produce a technology base to address identified Marine Corps technology gaps. The increase in the Command, Control, Communications, Computers (C4) funding from FY 2013 to FY 2014 is due to expanded development efforts and demonstrations of technologies that enhance urban communications capabilities.
