Abstract
At the direction of the Office of the Secretary of Defense and working in conjunction with the SIAP Joint Program Office (JPO), the Navy mission is to support the design, development, testing and fielding of a SIAP capability which satisfies requirements mandated by the Global Information Grid (GIG), Theater Air and Missile Defense (TAMD) and Combat Identification (CID) Mission Area Initial Capabilities Documents (MA-ICD). The Undersecretary of Defense Acquisition Memorandum of 3 May 06 validated the requirement for a SIAP capability and concurs with the Navy-designated Pathfinder programs identified for SIAP implementation. VCNO for Resources, Requirements, and Assessments (N8) SIAP implementation guidance of 14 March 06 directs the Navy to implement the SIAP program product, Integrated Architecture Behavior Model (IABM), in the following Navy pathfinder programs: Aegis Cruisers and Destroyers, Hawkeye Aircraft (E-2), and Ship Self Defense System (SSDS) platforms. On 24 September 2007, the Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) approved the Capability Development Document (CDD) establishing official requirements for the SIAP program. The SIAP capability will provide the Navy warfighter with the ability to better understand the joint battlespace and employ weapons to the full extent of their designed capabilities. The SIAP will support the spectrum of offensive and defensive operations by US, allied, and coalition partners in the airspace within a theater of operations (e.g., attack operations, suppression of enemy air defenses, air and missile defense, intelligence preparation of the battlefield). The SIAP is accomplished through a combination of materiel and nonmaterial improvements. This effort through the application of disciplined System Engineering processes, policies, products and services will enable delivery of an integrated, interoperable, reliable, and maintainable Joint SIAP capability in Navy warfare systems/platforms, in the support of Joint and Navy Mission Capabilities. SIAP capability is being introduced through a series of improvements called Capability Drops, targeted at eliminating specific interoperability issues, providing Command, Control, Communications, Computers, & Intelligence (C4I) enhancements, and delivering an executable integrated architecture. The engineering specifications and requirements developed by the engineering efforts will be incorporated into the successive versions of the Joint IABM in a spiral development improvement process. The delivered IABM will be used to develop the successive versions of the platform specific applications to be implemented in Navy combat systems requiring the Joint SIAP capability. The IABM will also be used as a standard against which to assess performance of the Navy combat systems in terms of Joint Force interoperability. The Navy is investing in the Open Architecture (OA) construct for many reasons, one of which is to create the combat system computing architecture which will permit the most rapid and least expensive implementation of the IABM and other Joint applications. To that end, this effort also provides some resources to the OA system engineering process. Implementation of a platform specific application in the Navy Pathfinder combat systems (E-2, Aegis, and SSDS), will reduce risk of fratricide to US/coalition forces caused by incorrect correlation and ID association and enable warfighters to exploit the full kinematic range of their weapons through better Joint Force integration. This PE provides the resources for the Navy system engineering support to the Joint effort to develop SIAP capability, system engineering support to Navy Pathfinder Programs of Record (E-2, Aegis, SSDS) for integration of the Joint SIAP solution, and funding for the implementation of the IABM into the Aegis combat system leveraging the Guided Missile Destroyer (DDG) Modernization program.
