Information Warfare System

Abstract

Information Operations (IO) Mission Management: Develops command and control mechanism for remote use of Electronic Attack (EA) assets to include frequency, antenna alignment and weapon firing data transfer. Develops a modeling and simulation laboratory for the program office to use in the development, intended effect, and risk reduction of new EA capabilities. IO Counter Measure (CM) Capability Research and Development. Develops software to account for antenna modeling, weather calculations, radio frequency modeling, signals mapping and terrain modeling for warfighter use in configuring optimal EA from afloat. Maritime Cryptologic Systems for the 21st Century (MCS-21) Systems Development and Support: Develops and fields spiral EA capabilities against Fleet Forces Command prioritized signals and target sets. EA capabilities will be integrated into a software architecture baseline that is deployed on subsurface, airborne and surface IO platforms (Classic Troll, Banshee and SSEE-Inc E/ F.) Also included is the Navy's investment in Integrated Communications and Data System (ICADS) proof of concept system. Research, Analysis and Research and Development Technical Support: Conducts vulnerability analysis and reverse engineering on emerging threats and targets and provides specialized technical, engineering and management support to the program management office. (Specific details held at a higher classification level.) Computer Network Operations (CNO): Funds development and testing of adversary target networks for modeling, simulation, and tailoring of CNO capabilities. Develops specific CNO capabilities to be used against adversary networks. Supports Electronic Target Folder database which provides a means of sharing and storing common CNO data. Studies unique adversary CNO vulnerabilities for exploitation. (Specific development details held at a higher classification level.) Increasing emphasis on Ballistic Missile Defense/High Value Units and Red Flash will provide additional and/or enhanced IO capabilities to enable operations plans and support major combat operations scenarios. This effort leverages and continues the development of CNO capabilities and also provides for the delivery of two MCS21 mobile/ground components. (Specific development and capability details are held at a higher classification level.)
