Nuclear Command, Control and Communications (NC3)

Abstract

This program supports development and operation of analytical tools to evaluate authoritative data (cost, schedule, performance, risk) on NC3 Portfolio programs to maximize portfolio alignment to strategic priorities and capabilities. It will create integrated development and delivery schedules for NC3 programs. These tools will forecast system/capability degradation as well as plans for capability replacement, improvement, or replacement in the context of the larger NC3 enterprise. It also provides the technical expertise to support risk management analysis (with an emphasis on system design, development and acquisition) of the NC3 enterprise and will develop strategies for synchronizing NC3 preplanned improvements. It will support the timely exchange of program and capability status information between elements of the NC3 enterprise, the OSD staff, and the combatant commands with a goal of increasing the use of electronic means to provide current and accurate information on key elements of the NC3 enterprise. The effort will develop robust, integrated capability plans and schedules for NC3 capabilities to clarify system dependencies and identify disconnects. It will also support cross-department collaboration for development of enterprise-wide approaches for capability management. This includes: (1) vertical and horizontal integration activities within the Department and with the interagency where appropriate; (2) a coordinated portfolio-based approach to planning, programming, budgeting and execution; (3) reform efforts at the legislative, governance, policy, management and execution levels; 4) protection of information and technology that support or enables technology-based capability development for the NC3 warfighting domain and 5) supports the identification, evaluation, and incorporation of promising technology for inclusion in the NC3 system.
