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 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 an elevated sensor, platform, fire control system and missile, along with introducing other networks and sensors coordinating with other DoD activities as appropriate. 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.
