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 supports the Rapid Capability Office (RCO) effort to produce a BCS-F replacement system that is interoperable with the Advanced Battle Management System (ABMS) portfolio of capabilities across multiple Combatant Commands. A defined scope of key capability improvements delivered through an agile process to include but not limited to: Integrated Fire Control (IFC), course of action generation, predictive analytics, improved visualizations, an improved user interface and experience (UI/UX). This effort also includes the implementation of a suite of AI/ML products to improve kill-chain response times. NATIONAL CAPITOL REGION - INTEGRATED AIR DEFENSE SYSTEM (NCR-IADS): NCR-IADS is a post-September 11, 2001 rapidly fielded capability that provides ground-based air defense of the NCR airspace by delivering an integrated air picture, air defense weapons, enhanced regional situational awareness, and forensic data collection capabilities. Life cycle replacement will be required to prevent system obsolescence, account for new cyber security requirements, and posture the program to seamlessly integrate future capabilities. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, 0606398F. In FY22 $0.000M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element and in FY23 $0.000M is forecasted 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.
