Common Control System
Abstract
This PE funds the Unmanned System (UxS) Common Control System (CCS). The primary mission of CCS is to provide common control across the Navy's UxS portfolio to add warfighting capability, eliminate redundant software development efforts, encourage innovation and improve cost control of unmanned systems. CCS provides the primary control system software for the Unmanned Carrier Launched Airborne Surveillance and Strike (UCLASS) System. This program will define, develop and deliver a CCS to operate respective Naval Unmanned Air System (UAS) systems to include a common framework, user interface, and common components that will be integrated and tested with unique or legacy platform required components. CCS is being developed by the government and the first software increment will be provided to the UCLASS air system Prime Contractors as Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) to support the UCLASS Early Operational Capability/Initial Operational Capability (EOC/IOC). CCS will leverage existing government owned products as well as competitive procurements to support UCLASS, and will transition Triton (MQ-4), Fire Scout (MQ-8), and other UxS platforms as funding and schedule permit. The CCS will provide an open software architecture, based on the OSD Unmanned Control Segment (UCS) Architecture, that is agile and scalable to evolving Service requirements and is supportive of affordable safety/airworthiness certification and Information Assurance (IA) certification. CCS will provide UxS Primary Mission Control, Mission Planning, Dynamic Airspace, External Messaging and Communication, Sensor Product Payload (Processing, Exploitation and Dissemination (PED)), Support Services, Infrastructure/Governance and a Decoupled Presentation Layer. CCS is responsible for conducting systems engineering, development, integration, system-level test, fielding and life cycle support. CCS is the shore/ship/portable based mission planning and execution software component planned for Navy Group two through five UAS's. CCS will maintain configuration control to include responsibility for future upgrades, sustainment, and transition of other UAS. The CCS Integrated Product Team (IPT) will be the Lead Systems Integrator (LSI) and, as such, will maintain Configuration Management (CM) of all CCS components to include Commercial-off-the-Shelf (COTS) infrastructure, common services and applications, unique services and applications, and presentation layer software. This also includes CM of CCS specifications and interfaces as appropriate. The CCS program will also perform testing and qualification of CCS components prior to delivery back to the platform program office for final integration and testing. The Common Control System was budgeted in PE 0604404N: Unman Carrier Launch A/B Surv & Strike (UCLASS) Sys prior to FY16.
