Tactical Edge Network Targeting in a Contested Long-range Environment (TENTaCLE)

Abstract

TENTaCLE is a joint U.S. Navy and U.S. Air Force partnership to develop and demonstrate National-Tactical Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance, and Targeting (ISR-T), Command and Control (C2) data from the cloud to tactical platforms through agile, automated, multi-link Internet Protocol (IP), satellite communication and Tactical Data Links (TDL) networks. TENTaCLE enables joint coordinated Long-Range Fires leveraging National-Tactical advantages in denied environments using resilient links. TENTaCLE is a Rapid Prototype and Rapid Fielding Program that conforms with the acquisition adaptive framework to field pods and integrated kits, ready for the “Fight Tonight” with resilient links and onboard compute sufficient for advanced networked Battle Management Aids (BMAs). TENTaCLE transitioned to the Navy and Air Force.
