Naval Integrated Fire Control-Counter Air SE&I

Abstract

3159 Naval Integrated Fire Control (NIFC) Systems Engineering Integration and Test (SEI&T) project is a systems engineering effort to extend the Naval Integrated Air and Missile Defense battlespace out to the maximum kinematic range of our weapons for the air, surface, and strike warfare missions. This includes targets beyond the detection range of the shooter. The NIFC project exploits capabilities inherent in existing systems, optimizes current and emerging technologies in component system upgrades, integrates them together, and performs kill chain tests, forming an interoperable System of Systems (SoS) to maximize future offensive and defensive integrated capabilities. NIFC consist of two kill chain families called From the Air (FTA) and From the Sea (FTS). As directed by OPNAV, the project is focused on SEI&T efforts to integrate the From The Sea (FTS) kill chains which include the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye, Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC), AEGIS, and SM-6 missile as well as an increasing set of sensors and networks. The From the Air (FTA) kill chains consisting of surveillance platforms, tactical aircraft, data links, and air-launched weapons. This PE will support efforts including system definition and architecture development, performance prediction, performance assessment, system test and risk reduction efforts, system analysis, modeling and simulation, and capability demonstrations for the FTS kill chain. The project also facilitates the development of the concept of operations with the warfighter to maximize effectiveness when deployed with the Fleet.
