Tactical Exploitation Of National Capabilities
Abstract
TENCAP exploits national capabilities to pace evolving threats in support of operations during conflict and competition. TENCAP systems and technologies provide deep sensing to support commanders' situational understanding (patterns of life, threat intentions, etc.), indications & warnings (detection of enemy mobilization and hostile activity), and intelligence support to targeting (order of battle, electronic target folders, target detection, Battle Damage Assessment, etc.). TENCAP systems and technologies support Theater-level fires and effects, TENCAP systems enable integrated Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) / Electronic Warfare (EW) / and Cyberspace operations. TENCAP supports Army modernization priorities including Long Range Precision Fires, Assured Position Navigation and Timing/Space (APNT/S), and Future Vertical Lift (FVL). In summary, TENCAP is a key enabler to defeating peer competitor Anti-Access / Area-Denial (A2/AD) strategies. The Tactical Exploitation of National Capabilities (TENCAP) office serves as the Army's centralized lead to perform National Intelligence cross-agency engineering to evaluate, enhance, prototype, and transition Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) technologies/capabilities from the National Intelligence Community (IC) into Army systems and architectures. TENCAP programs perform two vital functions for the Army's Warfighters: (1) ensures assured access to current and future National and Commercial sensors and supporting tactical architectures; and (2) exploits and influences new developments that focus on improving the Analysis and Tasking, Collection, Processing, Exploitation, Dissemination (TCPED) of intelligence data. FY2024 Base funding in the amount of $17.719 million enables systems engineering and collaborative development and prototyping on multiple National Intelligence Community (IC) advanced software and prototype developments that leverage upcoming National IC investments for Army use. This collaborative environment ensures continuous Army interoperability with National IC assets and architectures, exploits advances in commercial imagery and signal technologies, and develops prototypes that directly support the Army Warfighter. In FY24, TENCAP will begin integrating Space Force's new Space-Based ISR into the Tactical Intelligence Targeting Access Node (TITAN) Program of Record.
