Naval Coastal Warfare Surv and C4I Sys
Abstract
The Navy Expeditionary project supports the Navy Expeditionary Combat Command (NECC) mission to detect, deter or interdict potential threats to DoN assets using agile, modular and scalable technology. NECC units have a number of current and future Command, Control, Communications, Computers & Intelligence (C4I) technological requirements for Tactical/Command Operations Center, tactical vehicles, combatant craft, and dismounted personnel. NECC operations require units to maintain effective command and control, develop and display a common tactical picture, and share intelligence and current operational information with higher headquarters, subordinate units, joint forces and coalition allies. Small, Medium and Large Scale Communication Systems (LSCS) are the C4I hub for the NECC; Navy Enterprise Tactical Command and Control (NETC2) is the converged LSCS baseline. Future C4I research and development include enhanced information transport, network cyber security posture, cloud-based architecture, assured communications in denied environments along with agility and mobility. Funding also supports testing and evaluation of cyber security issues associated with obsolescence of network items and if not addressed will impact the ability of the Program Office to maintain system accreditation under Risk Management Framework (RMF) revoking multiple LSCS assets authority to connectivity on the Department of Defense Information Network (DoDIN). Efforts are in alignment with NECC's strategic Expeditionary Warfare Improvement Program (EXWIP) Integrated Priority Capability List (IPCL) priorities and maintain alignment with greater DoD initiatives, such as Joint Information Environment (JIE), Mission Partner Environment (MPE) in order to maintain interoperability and drive down DoN enterprise costs. The future of large scale communications assets such as Navy Enterprise Tactical Command and Control (NETC2) (V) 1 and 2, Expeditionary Carry-on Network (ExCON), Assured Command and Control (AC2), will be converging to a Common Expeditionary and Shore Baseline culminating in a single RMF Authority to Operate (ATO). Next generation air, surface and subsurface surveillance systems, as well as enhanced C4I capabilities, are required to meet operational objectives. Future technologies are being evaluated as enabling capabilities to expand situational awareness, providing additional tactical decision aids to the local area commander. Future C4I research and development efforts will be identified within NECC strategic Expeditionary Warfare Improvement Program (EXWIP) Integrated Priority Capability List (IPCL) priorities to increase agility, mobility and network security posture. Additional efforts will be driven by greater DoD initiatives, such as JIE Inc II, in order to maintain interoperability and drive down DoN enterprise costs.
