Abstract

Secure Expeditionary Resilient Positioning, Navigation and Timing (SERPNT) (formerly REPNT) - This is a critical Marine Corps Force Design program. Program efforts are focused on increasing the resiliency and assurance of Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) capabilities across the enterprise. This enables Marine Air-Ground Task Force (MAGTF) Commanders to know and trust position, effectively navigate, and receive precise and accurate timing for users, platforms, and systems across warfighting functions. Current SERPNT efforts will enable the Marine Corps to transition to a smaller form factor of Military Code (M-Code) GPS signal receivers through participation in Space Force-led Increment II technology maturation efforts. Program Office will research, assess, and integrate resilient and assured PNT alternative capabilities which will mitigate threats from peer and near peer adversaries to meet Force Design 2030, EABO, and Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) construct. Marine Air-Ground Task Force (MAGTF) Command and Control (C2) Systems (MAGTF C2) - MAGTF C2 Tactical Service Oriented Architecture (TSOA) is an ACAT IV(M) program of record (POR). TSOA was created in order to achieve agility and greater cost reduction across the USMC Command and Control (C2) Enterprise. This POR has been identified by the USMC Combat Development and Integration (CD&I) as the USMC's Service Oriented Infrastructure (SOI) designed to support the Objective Network as defined by the Headquarters Marine Corps, Deputy Commandant for Information Network Modernization Plan. The USMC seeks to rectify its current C2 architecture, which is composed of disparate and duplicative legacy systems through TSOA. TSOA will enable a collapse of this disparate C2 construct and create a Net-Centric environment where Marines employ user-centered applications that access required information across Authoritative Data Sources (ADS). This will be achieved through the CD&I directed TSOA compliance effort in order to reduce duplicative product development and enable a divestiture of legacy disparate systems. This requires additional effort to ensure other ADS's are compliant with the TSOA product line. TSOA's purpose is to ensure that Marines receive the right information, from trusted and accurate sources, when and where it is needed. This enables decisions "in context" for USMC operations across the Range of Military Operations and in support of the Unified Command Plan. TSOA's four capabilities include: Infrastructure and Services (I&S) which is the capability of authorized users to subscribe and publish required information from ADS with the use of software connectors; Agile Application Development (A2D) which is the capability to develop, accredit, and provide easy-to-learn, user-defined software applications that meet emergent Marine needs; Modular Software Architecture (MSA) which is virtualized, hardware agnostic, and scalable; Marine Corps Software Resource Center (MCSRC) is the Marine Corps' enterprise "App Store" for developed applications that allows Marines the ability to download, review, rate, and provide feedback. Identity Dominance System - Marine Corps (IDS-MC) is a multi-modal (fingerprint, iris, and face) biometric collection system that provides the USMC a reliable and effective capability to collect, share, match, access, verify and store identity information. IDS-MC enables the Marine to collect appropriate biometric, biographical and reference information on an individual and match this locally developed information with pre-existing information available to the expeditionary force. The system displays match results with linkage to the respective individual's biographical and reference information as well as help analyze the response, update records as appropriate, create reports and disseminate updated information. The primary mission of IDS-MC is to provide the Marine Corps with the means to identify persons encountered in the battle space. While IDS-MC is not an intelligence analysis system, it does provide identification information in support of military intelligence by providing positive identification of persons of interest. IDS-MC is an enabler in the areas of detainee management and questioning, base access, counterintelligence screening, border control, displaced persons' management and aiding in humanitarian assistance missions. IDS-MC supports the tactical application of identity dominance and fully supports a forward presence, crisis response and contingency response capability. Forensics Dominance System - Marine Corps (FDS-MC) is a multi-modal (fingerprint, DNA, document, cellular, media, chemical, and fire arm) forensic collection system that provides the United States Marine Corps (USMC) a reliable and effective capability to recognize, protect, collect, analyze, store and share forensic information. This organic Marine Corps forensic capability supports deployed Marine Forces with agile, ruggedized, and scalable expeditionary forensics that are compatible and fully integrated with joint, other service, and interagency laboratories, yet also tailored to the unique operating requirements of the maritime domain. Maritime applications include the ability to support Marine Expeditionary Units with an at sea forensic exploitation capability to conduct vessel boarding and ship search operations. FDS-MC supports the Information Environment through sensitive forensic testing and analysis that positively identifies personnel and trace chemicals/elements; forensically exploits document and media; and scientifically links identities and networks to places, events, and activities. FDS-MC provides a transformative capability that integrates Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to enable intelligence operations, force protection, intelligence, and targeting. Handheld Command and Control (H2C2) - Provides the dismounted user the to tactical edge, with handheld devices that provides integrated, on-the-move, secure, timely, and relevant Command & Control/Situational Awareness (C2/SA) information to tactical combat, combat support and combat service support commanders, leaders, and key C2 nodes. H2C2 provides leaders with a capability for selecting, managing, and assimilating relevant data and information. This allows them to pass orders and graphics that will provide the joint warfighter the capability to visualize the commander's intent and scheme of maneuver, and provide enhanced SA of friendly, reported enemy, neutral, and civilian entities. MOBILE ALL-DOMAIN OBSERVATION AND SENSING SYSTEM (MA-DOSS) FoS provides persistent, all-domain sensing and surveillance support, tactical early warning, multi-domain intrusion-detection, and forward edge processing/computing of an AI/ML based computer vision capability to the FMF, at the Marine Littoral Regiment (MLR), down to any sized Marine element, in order to support the Naval Expeditionary Force (NEF) in the conduct of Sea Denial and Sea Control operations, and to enable force protection for expeditionary advanced bases (EABs), forward fixed sites, and installations. By providing mobile, expeditionary, amphibious, modular, multi-spectral, and persistent surveillance systems based on sensor agnostic unmanned platforms, the MA-DOSS FoS will provide the ability to observe, collect, detect, classify, identify, track, record, and report on contacts, objects of interest, and assess threats twenty-four hours a day utilizing a fused sensor data display while reducing manpower requirements and the cognitive workload on operators and analysts. MA-DOSS will employ advanced Human Machine Teaming (HMT) and leverage the force-multiplying capabilities of Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) to execute tasks that normally require human intelligence/interface. Additionally, increased mobility will be achieved with autonomous robotic platforms, thereby enhancing survivability of the primary system and stand-in forces operating inside adversary weapon engagement zones (WEX). Beginning FY 2024 MA-DOSS transitions to PE: 0206313M Marine Corps Comms Systems Proj: 2270 Exp Indirect Fire Gen Supt Wpn Sys. MA-DOSS was previously funded in PE 0206625M, Project 2272 in FY 2023.
