NC3 Advanced Concepts

Abstract

Nuclear Command, Control, and Communications (NC3) Advanced Concepts is required for development and prototyping of next generation NC3 systems and sub-systems. This program ensures a responsive design and development engineering infrastructure to address evolving Nuclear Deterrence Operations (NDO) mission requirements, emerging issues and technology insertion/technology application on the NC3 Weapon System (WS), future strategic systems/capability, and other common strategic areas where appropriate, and develop enhanced multi-use capabilities. The NC3 Advanced Concepts Program will provide technology maturation and risk reduction activities to support the AF NC3 Weapon System (AN/USQ-225). Activity will reduce life cycle costs, inform technology maturation & risk reduction efforts, improve system performance, mitigate evolving threats, and ensure both viability and durability of the AF NC3 Weapon System. This program element may include necessary emergent or unanticipated civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver NC3 Advanced Concepts for emergent or unanticipated weapon system capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605831F. This effort is in Budget Activity 4, Advanced Component Development and Prototypes (ACD&P), because efforts are necessary to evaluate integrated technologies, representative modes or prototype systems in a high fidelity and realistic operating environment.
