Theater Air Control System Imp (TACSI)

Abstract

CONTROL AND REPORTING CENTER (CRC) The CRC is a mobile, ground-based theater air control system (TACS) surveillance and battle management command and control (BMC2) element. It is a customizable, modular, transportable, and persistent weapon system employed at the tactical level to support air and surface operations to provide direct command and control to all air assets in an assigned Area of Responsibility (AOR) and to report back to the Joint Force Air Combat Commander (JFACC). The CRC is a family of systems which include: AN/TYQ-23A(V)1 Tactical Air Operations Module (TAOM), AN/TSC-147 Joint Tactical Information Distribution System (JTIDS) Module (JM) (to be replaced by Link 16 Upgrade Multifunctional Information Distribution System Joint Tactical Radio System (MIDS JTRS)), AN/TRC-213/214 Remote Radio Secure Voice System (RRSVS), and the AN/TPS-75 Radar, CRC's organic radar, which will be replaced by the Three Dimensional Expeditionary Long Range Radar (3DELRR) (PE0207455). Air Combat Command (ACC) CRC Capability Roadmap provides for the modernization of this family of systems and will be programmed into phased updates through 2037. CRC Phase 1 addresses, but is not limited to, AN/TYQ-23A(V)1 OM Multiple Source Correlator Tracker (MSCT) software upgrades, Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS). CRC Phase 2 development efforts include AN/TRC-213/214 RRSVS radio modernization upgrade and Ground Moving Target Indicator MSCT software upgrades. Phase 2 is a New Start. 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 elements 0207412F. 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.
