Space Superiority - Advanced Intelligence Systems
Abstract
This program element supports development activities for the NORAD Cheyenne Mountain Complex - Integrated Tactical Warning Attack Assessment (NCMC-ITW/AA) system that provides timely, unambiguous, and continuous warning and attack assessment of air, missile and space threats to North America, and geographical theaters. This system integrates and correlates missile launch and air surveillance information from certified sources to assess the nature of an enemy launch/attack and issue warnings to the President of the United States, Canadian (national leadership), United States Secretary of Defense, National military Command center and war-fighting Combatant Commanders (C2). NCMC-ITW/AA and Legacy Space C2 systems provide NORAD/NORTHCOM, USSTRATCOM and SPACECOM command structures with the information management, decision aids and connectivity required to monitor, assess, plan, and execute assigned strategic, space operations, and missile defense missions. It provides Nuclear C2 and detonation detection. The Combatant Commanders Integrated Command and Control System (CCIC2S) is a unique, integrated C2 "system of systems”, providing data communication between external sensors and end users; mission processing for air and missile warning mission and system operations functions. The system supports national strategic objectives with Integrated Tactical Warning/Attack Assessment (ITW/AA) and provides missile and air warning, cueing and engagement information to theater combatant commanders. The system consists of terrestrial and space-based sensor outputs, C2 nodes, and communications and dissemination links, connecting the US and Canadian defense information networks. 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.
