Navy Air Operations Command and Control (NAOC2)
Abstract
Navy Air Operations Command and Control (NAOC2): NAOC2 tests and integrates US Air Force program of record systems - Theater Battle Management Core System (TBMCS) and its replacement Kessel Run Applications Kit for Enterprise Navy (KRAKEN) which provides an integrated and scalable planning system for standardized, secure, and automated decision support for Air Force, Joint, and Allied commanders worldwide - to operate in the Navy enterprise network environment such as Consolidated Afloat Networks and Enterprise Services (CANES). These programs provide automated air operations planning, execution management and intelligence capabilities for fleet commanders, Commander Carrier Strike Groups, Commander Expeditionary Strike Groups, Commander Landing Forces, and Joint Task Force Commanders. KRAKEN (when fielded) will provide rapid, agile delivery of capabilities to the fleet by commercial cloud infrastructure using Development, Security, Operations (DevSecOps) cloud native applications. KRAKEN 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 CANES. KRAKEN 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. KRAKEN 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. KRAKEN 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. KRAKEN will replace TBMCS while bringing more flexibility to the war fighter. FY24 funding supports KRAKEN integration and development of Kubernetes based containers from the United States Air Force (USAF) into the CANES environment, and the development of the Commander Operational Test & Evaluation Force (COMOPTEVFOR), USAF, and Air Force Operational Test and Evaluation Center (AFOTEC) joint testing and certification plan.
