Electronic Combat Spt, C3 Protection/Multi-Mission, Technology and Spt
Abstract
This program expedites Information Superiority (IS) Technology transition from laboratory, industry, and academia to operational platforms including the Network Attack System (NAS) via studies, rapid prototyping, technology demonstrations and other RDT&E efforts. Program efforts directly support the AF Information Operations Capability Plan (IOCP) and the DoD Information Operations (IO) Roadmap. The program office investigates and selects the highest potential IO technologies to meet specific shortfalls, deficiencies, and requirements documented by major commands (MAJCOMs), unified commands, and IO agencies in Mission Area Plans (MAPs) and capabilities documents. In accordance with AF Policy on IO, the IS core capability areas to be considered are influence operations, electronic warfare operations and network warfare operations. Planned areas of study, prototyping, and technology demonstration include, but are not limited to, exploitation of networks, telephony, Integrated Air Defense Systems (IADS), electronic warfare operations, Command and Control Systems (C2), and applying the latest advancements in emerging physics, electronic warfare, communications, directed energy, electronic sensors, and intelligence to IS. These advancements will be used to develop and deliver cutting edge technologies to the warfighter. The program office works directly with labs, industry, and warfighters to set priorities and find synergistic combinations of new technology, doctrine and training via multiple Network Warfare Operations Capability (NWOC) contract awards to deliver state of the art IO tools to the warfighter as well as to engineer key upgrades and modifications to the NAS. Program funds Cyber C2 efforts to provide development of C2 capabilities across the entire spectrum of air, space, and cyber operations from strategic to tactical level for planning, executing and assessing theater-wide air, space and cyber operations. Program efforts will be prioritized and guided by the Information Operations Capabilities Team (IOCT) in support of the AF IOCP and other applicable requirements documents. Activities performed include those designed to identify, analyze, test, rapidly acquire, and integrate emerging cyber technologies into all regions of the Global Information Grid. Program activities are protected under the PANTHER DEN Special Access Program. 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.
