Air Force TENCAP
Abstract
Air Force Tactical Exploitation of National Capabilities (TENCAP) increases warfighter effectiveness through the exploitation of national capabilities and promotes cross-domain integration of these capabilities into military operations/training and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) activities. AF TENCAP exploits existing air, space, cyber, national and global ISR, and Non-Traditional ISR (NTISR) for operational and tactical applications by rapidly prototyping and providing capability demonstrations. Projects are designed to transition to warfighters or national intelligence agencies for operational use, and to appropriate acquisition Programs of Record for sustainment and further development. AF TENCAP projects influence the design and operation of current and future air, space, cyber, national and global ISR, and NTISR systems while providing situational awareness to warfighters, national intelligence agency organizations, and units. AF TENCAP projects will begin an evolution to demonstrate prototype capabilities to accelerate Battlespace Awareness Command and Control prototyping efforts into a single Common Operational Picture. The program consists of multiple small projects supporting the Air Force Warfighting Integration Capability. Projects are executed to provide continued support to Special Operations Forces and the Air Force warfighter, with impacts at the national, operational, and tactical levels. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability. The use of such programs funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, 0606398F. In PY $0.00M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in CY $00.00M is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element. This program element received $3.00M Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI) Funds in FY23. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.
