Intelligence Carry-On Program (ICOP)

Abstract

The Intelligence Carry-On Program (ICOP) is a powerful afloat edge computing device that is capable of operating on all three security domains (NIPR, SIPR, and JWICs) that extends the Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance, and Targeting (ISR&T) Enterprise and the Distributed Common Ground System-Navy (DCGS-N) Family of Systems (FoS) to unit-level forces and the Joint Intelligence Community (IC). ICOP provides Indications and Warnings (I&W), Signal Intelligence (SIGNIT) correlation, Imagery exploitation, high-value entity alerting, anomaly detection, threat environment pattern of life analysis ISO Maritime Battlespace Awareness with 3-D visualization, Full-Motion Video (FMV), Resilient C3, Integrated Fires, Distributed Maritime Ops, Electromagnetic Maneuver Warfare (EMW) and Processing, Exploitation and Dissemination (PED) capabilities in support of Unit-Level Navy surface (CG, DDG, and LPD classes) and expeditionary operations. ICOP/CM3 systems supports a direct downlink of airborne FMV from manned and unmanned sensors supporting FMV exploitation, and with integration of shipboard organic cameras, supports the monitoring of multiple feeds during high tempo operations ISO OPTASK Visual Information (VI) objectives (Strategic Communications - "First to the Truth"). In FY 2025, 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.
