Intelligence Carry-On Program (ICOP)

Abstract

Intelligence Carry-On Program (ICOP) provides Indications and Warnings (I&W), battlespace awareness/visualization, pattern of life analysis, Full-Motion Video (FMV) and Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) Processing, Exploitation and Dissemination (PED) capabilities in support of Unit-Level Navy surface (CG, DDG, and LPD classes) and expeditionary operations. The ICOP system includes a three-eyed ruggedized workstation that serves as a powerful afloat edge computing device that is capable of operating on all three security domains (NIPR, SIPR, and JWICs) and an antenna/receiver set (called Communications Module 3 - CM3) that is used to ingest, process and exploit airborne sensor data. In addition to supporting multi-intelligence capabilities, ICOP/CM3 provides an end-to-end ISR PED architecture that includes processing organic shipboard camera systems to support Navy-wide Operational Task (OPTASK) Visual Information (Strategic Communications - "First to the Truth," pattern of life analysis and use of force/rules of engagement decisions). In FY 2024, ICOP will continue to conduct a formal system engineering assessment of the system design for the Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) ICOP Mission Module. This will lead into the development and testing of the mission module. In addition, the ICOP engineering team will continue the containerization of the ICOP software stack, which will allow an additional variant to be employed on platforms that have severe space constraints such as LCS and DDG 1000 platforms.
