Advanced Cryptological Sys Eng (CCOP)
Abstract
The Advanced Cryptologic Systems Engineering - Cryptologic Carry On Program (CCOP) develops state-of-the-art signal acquisition systems and software in response to Combatant Command requirements for a quick-reaction surface, subsurface and airborne cryptologic carry-on capability. There are approximately 124 cryptologic capable surface ships and shore sites in the current Navy inventory; each is a potential user of this carry-on equipment, depending on deployment schedules and the tempo of operations. In addition, there are numerous subsurface and air platforms that are also potential users. This funding line will provide the resources to enable rapid transition of available Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) and Government Off -The-Shelf (GOTS) technologies that apply to Fleet requirements for carry-on system functionalities. These technologies typically require various levels of integration to leverage on-board systems that provide system and mission management, product reporting, and data analysis. COTS / GOTS system documentation and training materials usually require adaptation or modification to meet fleet operator requirements, or entirely new training materials may need to be developed. Before deployment for operational use, systems must be systematically tested to ensure suitable and reliable operation, tested for network vulnerabilities if connected to shipboard Local Area Networks, and tested relative to interoperability requirements. Certification testing is conducted to meet Office of Naval Intelligence security requirements, and network testing is conducted in accordance with Information Technology (IT) requirements to allow connection to Navy networks. Funding will also provide resources to address rapid deployment of enhancements or improvements to the common hardware and/or software baseline of all other carry-on subsystems to meet emergent requirements. Funding will support development and integration efforts to fuse data produced and distributed by Shipboard IW / Information Operations (IO) systems with other intelligence data at multiple classification levels and provided to shipboard combat systems to support kinetic (bombs, mortars, missiles, bullets) and non-kinetic fires (electronic attack, lasers, cyber-attack) and can also be used to enable a more complete understanding and more agile and effective exploitation of the electromagnetic spectrum. Increase in FY19 funding to begin development of next generation Red Falcon capabilities including system upgrades to address additional targets and evolving modes of target deployment including non-traditional platforms and create advanced forward training modules. FY19 funds will continue to integrate, test, and document identified COTS and GOTS technologies and subsystems that meet emergent and on-going Fleet requirements as specified in the Signals of Interest (SOI) and target threat list, as well as, continue to develop upgrades to existing systems and subsystems according to Fleet requirements. Funds aid the development of new signal processing algorithms and software based solutions to enable rapid transition of capability to permanently installed Ship's Signal Exploitation Space (SSES) systems, including Ship's Signals Exploitation Equipment (SSEE) Family of Systems (FoS) and its variants, the research of self-contained small form factor systems for Patrol craft and other small units, and the research of Adaptive Mission Modules for rapid insertion to counter specific threats or provide intelligence in specific areas of operation. Funds also support the Navy's Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-UAS) efforts per Joint Rapid Acquisition Council (JRAC) approved Joint Urgent Operational Need (JUON) CC-0558 and is intended to provide additional Red Falcon / Cryptologic Carry-on Program (CCOP) systems for platforms deploying to United States Central Command area of responsibility. More details are available at higher classification.
