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: intelligence dissemination; sensor systems; tagging, tracking, and locating devices; integrated threat warning to SOF mission platforms; biometrics and forensic site exploitation; Tactical Exploitation of National Capabilities (TENCAP) system; space-based payload development; and tactical unmanned systems. The United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) has developed an overall strategy to ensure that Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (C4I) systems and tactical unmanned systems continue to provide SOF with the required capabilities into the 21st century. The USSOCOM tactical unmanned and 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.

Change Summary Explanation
Funding: FY 2021: None. FY 2022: Decrease of -$2.637 million is due to a Congressional directed program reduction to MMP (TENCAP). FY 2023: Funding increase of $75.136 million reflects the fact that the FY 2022 President’s Budget request did not include out-year funding.
