Physical Security Equipment - SD ED
Abstract
The Physical Security Equipment (PSE) program provides for Air Force Integrated Base Defense Security Systems (IBDSS) improvements and enhancements, to include the demonstration and testing of PSE systems related to Force Protection. This program supports the protection of tactical, fixed, and nuclear weapons systems, AF personnel and AF facilities. The PSE program includes spectrum planning for radio frequency (RF), communication security (cyber), information assurance requirements, integration and interoperability command control & communication (3) platform & components. This Program Element also includes funding for Force Protection Commercial Off the Shelf (FP COTS) equipment, market research, evaluation and testing. Force Protection programs are inherently subject to rapid changes in the operational environment and will retain sufficient Program flexibility to meet changes in location, scope and capability in order to protect Air Force people, facilities and warfighting assets. The Defender Multi-Domain Command, Control and Communications (DMDC3) is an initiative developing the foundational structure of IBDSS to provide a platform that integrates the computing power, the means of communication, and the tools for situational awareness. PSE efforts support Modular Open Source Architecture (MOSA) standards to enable faster installations and greater interoperability to address the Chief of Staff of the Air Force (CSAF's) ‘Fight the Base' goals. IBDSS FY23 developmental efforts will continue to evaluate and test state-of-the-art technology to support integrated based defense systems installations worldwide, continue to improve and integrate COTS efforts into IBDSS physical security equipment, and further develop, integrate and test Defender Multi-Domain Command, Control and Communications (DMDC3) software applications. IBDSS-3 expands upon and scales IBDSS modernization efforts first developed under IBDSS-2. Capability improvements include zero-trust architecture, ML/AI integration, expanded sensor capabilities, UAS/UGV integration, and improved mobile C3. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver Base Physical Security System capabilities 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, 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, 0606398F. In FY21 0.665M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element. In FY22 1.158M is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element. This requirement supports performance of a full financial audit as required by title 10 U.S.C. Chapter 9A, Sec 240-D. This program is in Budget Activity 5, System Development and Demonstration (SDD) because it has passed Milestone B approval and is conducting engineering and manufacturing development tasks aimed at meeting validated requirements prior to full rate production.
