Integrated Combat System (ICS),

Abstract

MK 6 MOD X Computing Infrastructure (CI) delivers the developmental efforts and prototypes to enable future delivery of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) in support of all surface combatants (e.g., LUSV, DDG, FFG, and DDG(X)). IaaS provides hatchable hardware abstracted from software, enabling upgrade outside modernization periods (agility) to more ships (capacity). The MK 6 MOD X CI is a foundational element of the surface Navy's Integrated Combat System (ICS) System supporting all future ship classes. ICS Top Level Requirements (TLR) validated in the Initial Capabilities Document for the Future Surface Combatant Force. SW factory provides a Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) pipeline for software where combat system applications are developed, tested, certified, and fielded to the Fleet at speed. The AEGIS and Ship Self Defense System (SSDS) computer programs will be re-factored into a single ICS computer program. Provides rapid combat system development, test, certification and authorization; more frequent delivery, and faster turnaround of Fleet feedback into working software and fielding to the IaaS-enabled fleet.
