Project NAUTICA: Integrated Theater ASW C4I
Abstract
Effective FY 2019, a new initiative titled Networked Architecture for Undersea Theater Integrated C2 Advantage (NAUTICA) was established for TUSW architecture development, systems engineering, and design. NAUTICA integrates intelligence (operational and tactical) and sensor (national and organic) systems to provide a fully informed COP of enemy undersea forces, maximizing decision superiority and theater level planning, and address TUSW C2. The Navy plan for NAUTICA was approved by the June 2017 Flag Oversight Board and subsequently a roadmap was developed in FY 2018. The TUSWOC's systems today are not integrated to support performance requirements during all threat levels. This results in failure to most effectively employ Theater USW assets. Near term, FY 2019 accelerates development by rapid prototyping the framework for existing legacy systems to be federated to be exchange key information and significantly improve existing TUSW capability. FY 2019 initiates the system engineering effort required to design, develop and deliver an integrated TUSW battle management suite in accordance with the 2007 ASW ICD. The plan prioritizes NAUTICA investments in accordance with the Commander U.S. Fleet Forces endorsement of "Theater ASW Capability Requirements" letter (dated 24 February 2017). The design of the integrated TUSW battle management suite will include a system of systems TUSW architecture to enable the existing programs of record under development from PEO IWS, PEO C4I, PEO AIR, and N9SP to exploit a common framework in the FYDP. The common architecture will define the key data exchanges, common displays and processing, data models, cross domain interfaces, and multi-level security software that will enable systems such as DCGS-N and USW-DSS to exchange, display and exploit information at the appropriate classifications. Funding under this project will also establish a transition path for new technologies such as the Operational Planning Tool (OPT), Water Space Planner (WASP), Battle Management TDA, and other Future Naval Capabilities (FNCs) that will start to transition Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 5/6 enabling technologies into the USW-DSS and DCGS-N Programs of Record (PORs).
