Naval Integrated Fire Control-Counter Air SE&I

Abstract

This FY 2021 funding request was increased by $8.738M/Yr in FY21 for NIFC Increment 2 maintenance and NIFC Increment 3. 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 and performs kill chain tests, forming an interoperable System of Systems (SoS) to maximize capabilities. As directed by OPNAV, the project is focused on SEI&T efforts to integrate the From The Sea (FTS) family of kill chains which includes the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye, Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC), AEGIS, and SM-6 missile along with other networks and sensors. Along with executing NIFC Inc 2 developmental test & fielding, the SEIT supports the design of the current kill chain and system configuration and architectures. Future NIFC efforts (e.g. NIFC Inc 3) includes SEIT activities across a broad range of systems and architectures. The From the Air (FTA) family of 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 and FTA families of kill chains. The project also facilitates the development of the concept of operations with the warfighter to maximize effectiveness when deployed with the Fleet.
