Navy Air Operations Command and Control (NAOC2)
Abstract
Navy Air Operations Command and Control (NAOC2): NAOC2 integrates and tests Air Force program of record systems that provide an integrated and scalable planning system for standardized, secure, and automated decision support for Air Force, Joint, and Allied commanders worldwide. These programs provide automated air operations planning, execution management and intelligence capabilities at the Force level to include fleet commanders, numbered fleet commanders, Commander Carrier Strike Groups, Commander Expeditionary Strike Groups, Commander Landing Forces, and Joint Task Force Commanders. NAOC2 includes Theater Battle Management Core System (TBMCS) and Kessel Run (Navy). Kessel Run (Navy) aligns with the Compile to Combat (C2C24) construct in providing Rapid, agile delivery of capabilities to the fleet by commercial cloud infrastructure using Development, Security, Operations (DevSecOps) cloud native applications. Kessel Run (Navy) is comprised of multiple tactical software applications that will provide continuous iterate delivery of software to shipboard and shore users. It will also align with the Joint C2 Reference Architecture (JC2RA) such as Consolidated Afloat Networks and Enterprise Services (CANES). Kessel Run (Navy) is not natively compatible with Navy Information Technology (IT) infrastructure, such as CANES, and requires a significant level of system integration. Continuation of Navy integration and test efforts will significantly enhance the ability of the Joint Force Air Component Commander and Combined Air Operations Center personnel to plan daily air operations including strike, airlift, offensive/defensive air, missile defense, and refueling missions in support of combat operations. Developmental Testing is continuous and operates in parallel with the DevSecOps construct. Kessel Run (Navy) will be continued for new technology insertion into Navy infrastructure network and hardware in support of Naval Air C2 and Net Enabled Weapons system integration. Kessel Run (Navy) addresses the requirement of war fighter distributed planning and execution processes along with significantly improving Joint interoperability. TBMCS continues a hardware transition to CANES. Currently, TBMCS is the key system that is used to conduct real world air planning in the Joint and Navy environments. Kessel Run (Navy) will replace TBMCS while bringing more flexibility to the war fighter. FY21 Funding will provide Testing and integration of Pivotal Cloud Foundry (PCF) as a connected system at an ashore node (C3F) and afloat node (Trident Warrior) followed with transition to Kubernetes based containers on top of CANES/ACS as a hosted system leveraging RAISED/C2C24.
