TAC SAT Recon Office
Abstract
(U) Link Crimson (Navy Tactical Exploitation of National Capabilities (TENCAP)) is congressionally directed to conduct space-related R&D in order to field integrated national-to-tactical system capabilities in response to emergent fleet requirements tied to OPLANs with emphasis on PACOM and CENTCOM. TENCAP's mission is to enable delivery of timely and relevant National Systems data to naval and maritime tactical users. TENCAP responds to the fleet's top, strategically important capability gaps within National systems and is the Navy's primary interface with the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) and national agencies for the rapid fielding (12-18 months) of capabilities. These include advanced sensor improvements to onboard and ground processing, and integrated national-to-tactical collection and fusion capabilities. Link Crimson supports operational missions for Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW), Integrated Air and Missile Defense, Mine Warfare (MIW), Precision Strike, Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA), enhanced Battlespace Awareness (BA) and integrated fires via multi-source data fusion architectures and advanced analytics. (U) This program is funded under Budget Activity 6 because it supports the operations and installations required for general research and development. Program baseline will also address R&D on foreign command and control (C2) Strategic Signals Collection and Exploitation; Undersea Warfare; Counter Unmanned Air Systems (passive and active measures); Processing, Exploitation, and Dissemination; low power Commercial Navigation Radar Detect and Exploit; Open Ocean and wide-area Surveillance; and Threat Geo-location. Link Crimson fields operational prototypes in order to test new capabilities in a real world environment in direct coordination with the operational user. Link Crimson holistically develops warfighting capabilities by synchronizing insertion of technologies with existing Navy, Joint, and national agency program, as well as related operational CONOPS and operator training. Additional detailed information is available at a higher level of classification. (U) Project 1034: Established to exploit all National and Service sensor systems to improve tactical support to Fleet operational commanders. Project also supports equipment upgrades, training and Fleet exercises which provide the venue for testing modifications to existing programs.
