Theater Air Control System Imp (TACSI)

Abstract

The Control and Reporting Center (CRC) program element provides for development and integration of new capabilities, upgrades, and modifications required to maintain capability due to replacement of diminshing manufacturing sources related to mobile ground-based capabilities. The CRC is a ground-based theater air control system (TACS) surveillance and battle management command and control (BMC2) element. It consists of facilities, equipment, and people. It is a tailorable, modular, transportable, sustainable, and persistent weapon system employed at the tactical level to support air and surface operations. The CRC projects include development of Theater Air Control Systems Improvement (TACSI) capabilities. These efforts include, but are not limited to, the development and modification of the AN/TYQ-23 Operations Module (OM) and the AN/TRC-215 Remote Radio Secure Voice System (RRSVS). AN/TYQ-23 OM is a low density/high demand (LD/HD) rapidly deployable ground-based C2 asset. This automated, computer-based information system provides operators the real-time battlespace picture necessary to plan, direct, and control tactical air operations and airspace management tasks. AN/TRC-215 RRSVS is a mobile, vehicle-mounted voice radio and OM-interface unit. The RRSVS allows real-time, secure voice communication between aircraft operating in the battlespace and ground-based battle management C2 operators located in the OM of the CRC. Activities also include studies and analysis supporting current and future program planning and future development of open system architecture requirements. This program is in Budget Activity 07, 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.
