Intelligence Systems Development

Abstract

This program element is part of the Military Intelligence Program (MIP) that provides for the identification, development, rapid prototyping and testing of Special Operations Forces (SOF) intelligence equipment to identify and eliminate deficiencies in providing timely intelligence to deployed forces. Sub-projects address the primary areas of intelligence dissemination, sensor systems, tagging, tracking, and locating devices, integrated threat warning to SOF mission platforms, biometrics and forensic site exploitation and tactical exploitation of national system capabilities. United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) has developed an overall strategy to ensure that Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (C4I) systems continue to provide SOF with the required capabilities into the 21st century. USSOCOM's C4I systems comprise an integrated network of systems providing positive command and control and timely exchange of intelligence and threat warning to all organizational echelons. The C4I systems that support this new architecture employ the latest standards and technology by transitioning from separate systems to full integration with the Global Information Grid (GIG). The GIG allows SOF elements to operate with any force combination in multiple environments. These technologies will be pursued via rapid prototyping efforts when appropriate. The FY 2022 funding request was reduced by $1.759 million to account for the availability of prior year execution balances. FY 2022 Fiscal Balancing: -$1.292 million decrease is attributed to the reductions necessary to accommodate budget realities and directed strategy driven changes. Reduces Joint Threat Warning System development and testing of SOF peculiar Space payloads.

Change Summary Explanation
Funding: FY 2020: Decrease of $0.135 million was made available to support emerging command requirements in the year of execution. FY 2021: Net increase of $6.961 million is due to Congressional add to continue rapid test and evaluation of emerging Biometric and Forensic technology ($7.000 million) and a Defense Wide (DW) non-programmatic reduction ($0.039 million). FY 2022: Net increase of $12.624 million is due to USSOCOM conducting a comprehensive analysis of future capabilities in support of the Interim National Security Strategy Guidance (INSSG). The National Systems Support to SOF (NSSS) program received increased funds ($4.815 million) to further the innovation and development of space-based Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) technologies and system enhancements, and rapid prototype development for transition to existing SOCOM programs of record. JTWS funding decreased (-$1.318 million) due to the Maritime variant transitioning into production. Increased funds to HF-TTL ($4.553 million) and TVS/RSTA ($1.681 million) will support Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) and space-based development efforts; pursue alternate precision, navigation, and timing (ALT PNT) and Low Probability of Intercept/Low Probability of Detection (LPI/LPD) Government-off-the-Shelf (GOTS) capabilities; and Unattended Ground and Maritime sensor integration efforts. The following decreases were made in support of critical emerging command priorities: ISP (-$0.036 million); SOFPREP (-$0.012 million); SSE (-$0.105 million). Classified details for the increase of ($2.481 million) are provided under separate cover. Silent Dagger funding increase ($0.565 million) supports research and development for modernization of Signals Intelligence Processing, Exploitation, Dissemination (SIGINT PED) capability and technology insertion roadmap efforts; funding was transferred from PE 0305208BB; Project S400A, Distributed Common Ground/Surface Systems. Schedule: None. Technical: None.
