COMMAND, CONTROL, COMMUNICATIONS, AND COMPUTERS (C4)
Abstract
This activity encompasses all FD/MCWL C4 related experimentation efforts including assessment of equipment, new TTPs, training programs, and proposed organizational changes associated with enhanced C4 capabilities. Although this category covers several small (less than $500K per FY) efforts being pursued by FD/MCWL, most programs listed below are considered major (valued at $500K or more) or have near real-time operational impact. Investments in this activity will be conducted under the Thrust Areas of C4ISR and Cyber/EW. The FY 2014 increase in category funding is mainly due to expanded development, testing, and assessment of a configurable L-class shipping C2 suite and integrated C2 application enhancements pursued in support of EF21 experimenation. FY 2014 to FY 2015 decreases also reflect these adjustments, as costs were modified, resulting in a cost savings in FY 2015. FY 2015 to FY 2016 increases also support EF21, with development and testing of a configurable C2 suite that enhances operations from aviation platforms and evaluation and experimentation with emerging technologies that support future maritime C2 capabilities.
