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 scalable and adaptable warfighting capability, implement robust cybersecurity attributes, leverage existing government owned products, eliminate redundant software development efforts, consolidate product support, encourage innovation, improve cost control, and enable rapid integration of UxS capabilities across all domains: Aviation, Surface, Sub-Surface, and Ground. This program will define, develop and deliver CCS capability that enables the flexibility for Ground Control Systems (GCS) that could be ship, shore, airborne, or expeditionary based to operate multiple and dissimilar Naval (UxSs). CCS includes a common framework, user interface, and common components that will also be integrated and tested with legacy platform components. CCS is being developed with an open and modular business model with robust cybersecurity implementation and will be provided as Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) to UxS Contractors as required. In alignment with the newly established Office of the Chief of Naval Operations Directorate for Unmanned Warfare Systems (OPNAV N99), the CCS acquisition approach is to provide increasing UxS capability through incremental development for UxS platforms as follows: Increment I will provide unmanned vehicle control functionality for launch & recovery, maneuvering & stationing, situational awareness, and health & performance status with a common Vehicle Management (VM) capability using legacy platform Mission Management/Mission Planning (MM/MP) capabilities hosted on legacy platform hardware. UxS platforms for initial CCS transition include CBARS, Triton (MQ-4), and Fire Scout (MQ-8). Efforts will include exploring opportunities for other UxS platforms from across all domains to benefit from CCS invested developments. Increment II will maintain and update, as necessary, the core VM baseline and add common MM/MP capabilities hosted on legacy platform hardware. Increment III aligns Common Control software and hardware for the Naval UxS control segment. CCS is a ship/shore/airborne/expeditionary based common control segment that provides VM and MM/MP capabilities for Naval Group 2 through 5 Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and other domain UxS's. The CCS will provide 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 safety/airworthiness certification and cybersecurity certification and accreditation. The CCS PU funds two Speed-to-the-Fleet capability initiatives in FY17: 1) Full Motion Video (FMV) for Geo-intelligence Unified Naval Streaming System (GUNSS) and 2) Moving Target Indicator (MTI) for Broad Area Maritime Surveillance - Demonstrator (BAMS-D). JUSTIFICATION FOR BUDGET ACTIVITY: This program is funded under OPERATIONAL SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT because it includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.
