R/SAOC MODERNIZATION
Abstract
The Regional/Sector Operation Center Modernization program supports the NORAD/NORTHCOM homeland defense and air sovereignty mission for fixed Air Defense Sectors. BATTLE CONTROL SYSTEM-FIXED (BCS-F): BCS-F is a bi-national development program with Canada. The BCS-F Program is an AF Homeland Defense battle management command and control system with the capability to integrate data from existing and future civil and military defense surveillance systems into a comprehensive air picture. BCS-F provides tactical communications and data link capabilities with other military and civil systems responsible for planning, directing, coordinating and controlling forces for air surveillance, air defense, and control of sovereign US air space. This integrated air picture enhances the capability to conduct peacetime air sovereignty operations and transition to active air defense operations in the event of aggression. BATTLE CONTROL SYSTEM-FIXED MODIFICATION ONE (BCS-F Modification 1): BCS-F Modification 1 effort will support the implementation of Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) data feeds and Earth Center Earth Fixed (ECEF). The BCS-F Modification 1 effort will be executed as a Cooperative Development Program between the US and Canada. BATTLE CONTROL SYSTEM MODERNIZATION: BCS Modernization will support NORAD/NORTHCOM Pathfinder Initiative development to include sensor integration, Integrated Fire Control (IFC), Agile Development, and system visualization for the Battle Control Center (BCC). NATIONAL CAPITAL REGION-INTEGRATED AIR DEFENSE SYSTEM (NCR-IADS): NCR-IADS is a post-September 11, 2001 rapidly fielded capability that improves low altitude detection capability in order to prosecute airborne threats to the NCR. NCR-IADS provides ground-based air defense of the National Capitol Region airspace, and provides an integrated air picture, ground air defense weapons, enhanced regional situational awareness and forensic data collection capabilities for the warfighter mission to protect the NCR. Efforts may include but are not limited to, studies, system engineering, development, integration, and test & evaluation required to prevent system obsolescence and evolving cyber security requirements and evolving mission requirements. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver AF Homeland Defense battle management command and control system capability. The use of such programs funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605831F. In FY20 $0.000M and in FY21 $0.000M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element. 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.
