C4I Battlespace Dev and Demo

Abstract

The National Defense Strategy and Air Force Future Operating Concept established science and technology challenges to enable operational agility (the ability to rapidly generate and shift among multiple solutions for a given challenge) as a way to adapt swiftly to any situation or enemy action. In order to enable multi-domain operations, this project will begin to shape future research and development to focus on technologies in support of multi-domain command and control. In order to achieve operational agility, the Air Force must be able (a) to monitor, assess, plan, and execute missions rapidly across the full spectrum of operations at all levels of war and during all phases of conflict; (b) to field advanced, secure, net-enabled architectures and communications/network technologies in support of persistent, global, and survivable kinetic and non-kinetic military operations; (c) to process and exploit data and information from a variety of sources and domains to create a common operating picture of the battlespace; and (d) to provide the decision maker and staff with seamless access to tailored information within a mobile, dynamic, and scalable, globally distributed Air Operations Center, as well as among other producers, consumers, and managers of information relevant to other particular Communities of Interest (COI). In FY 2021, the entirety of Project 635321, C4I Battlespace Dev and Demo, is transferred from PE 0603788F, Battlespace Knowledge Development and Demonstration, to PE 0603034F, Persistent Knowledge, Awareness, & C2 Tech, Project 635321, C4I Battlespace Dev and Demo, as part of the Air Force RDT&E BA03 PE Consolidation in order to realign technology areas to better support the National Defense Strategy, Air Force Future Operating Concept and Air Force Science and Technology Strategy, April 2019. The Project and associated efforts will continue to be managed by the Air Force Research Laboratory Information Technology Directorate located in Rome, NY. This is an administrative realignment for consolidation, and not a new start.
