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, AN/TRC-213/214 Remote Radio Secure Voice System (RRSVS), and the AN/TPS-75 Radar, CRC's organic radar. Air Combat Command (ACC) CRC Capability Road map provides for the modernization of this family of systems and will be programmed into phased updates through 2037. CRC is part of an ABMS initiative to give capability to ingest GMTI data. CRC FY20 development efforts that will support ABMS efforts include an AN/TRC-213/214 RRSVS radio modernization upgrade, a Multiple Source Correlator Tracker (MSCT) software upgrade, and incorporation of a Ground Moving Target Indicator (GMTI) tracker into the CRC. In FY19, these efforts fell under one thrust known as Phase 2. For FY20 and out, these efforts will be broken out with individual AML names and, therefore, the efforts will no longer collectively be referred to as Phase 2. 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 0605826F, 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605830F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605898F, and 0605833F. The FY2020 funding request was reduced by $1.305M to account for the availability of prior year execution balances. As directed in the FY 2018 NDAA, Sec 825, amendment to PL 114-92 FY 2016 NDAA, Sec 828 Penalty for Cost Overruns, the FY 2018 Air Force penalty total is $14.373M. The calculated percentage reduction to each research, development, test and evaluation and procurement account will be allocated proportionally from all programs, projects, or activities under such account. 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.
