Grandstand
Abstract
Grandstand leverages recent technological advancements to provide indication and warning (I&W) to U.S. Indo-Pacific Command (USINDOPACOM) Commanders and U.S. Forces in a timely manner and tracking Command, Control, Computing, Communications, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance, and Targeting (C5ISRT). Additional information is at higher classifications. In FY 2023 (last year of funding), Grandstand tested and demonstrated a prototype system in an operationally relevant scenario for level of effort one (1). In FY 2024 Grandstand will develop and laboratory demonstrate persistent access to threat C5ISRT, demonstrate indication and warning (I&W) capabilities, reduce latency preparatory near real-time data processing capabilities, and identify platform capabilities to access peer competitor C5IRST. Grandstand will complete as a project in FY 2024, transition to the U.S. Navy's Battlespace Awareness and Information Operations (PMW 120), and establish an operational environment with Naval Surface Warfare Command to provide downstream connectivity into Missile Defense Agency (MDA) architecture for I&W and target continuity as well as connectivity into Link-16 and the Integrated Broadcast System for locational updates.
