FORCEnet

Abstract

FORCEnet is the Navy and Marine Corps initiative to achieve Department of Navy (DoN)/Department of Defense (DoD) Transformation, Joint/Allied/Coalition Interoperability, implementing Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA), and Net-Centric Operations/Warfare (NCO/W). FORCEnet is the driver of Sea Power 21, Naval Power 21, the Naval Operating Concept for Joint Operations, and the DoN's Naval Transformation Roadmap. The FORCEnet project line funds the following efforts: (1) DoN Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) Transformation/Strategic Planning within DoN/Joint/DoD Framework: Assesses existing and emerging capabilities, develops and evaluates Navy-wide policies, plans, requirements, and compliance; develops integration and investment strategies; and accelerates innovation, testing, assessment and fielding of material and non-material solutions for enhanced operational capability, Joint/Allied/Coalition interoperability and application/enforcement of enterprise requirements/architectures/standards toward greater NCO/W capability. Supports Navy implementation of MDA capability, Maritime Operations Centers (MOC), and enterprise network efforts. (2) Accelerating Joint Warfighting Capability (Trident Warrior) (TW): Enables early delivery of NCO/W capabilities to the warfighter via Fleet-directed TW operational events with a strong emphasis on delivering MDA with MOC capability. Integrates stand-alone systems and efforts to achieve substantially enhanced capability, demonstrates/tests these capabilities in both laboratory and operational environments, and evaluates their effectiveness. Develops supporting concepts and Concept of Operations (CONOPS) to improve warfighting effectiveness. Coordinates FORCEnet efforts with other Service/Joint/DoD/National efforts to ensure Joint/Interagency/Allied/Coalition applicability and interoperability. (3) Systems Requirements Analysis/Systems Engineering (formerly Osprey Hawksbill): Supports requirements analysis and systems engineering of systems under development by DoN/DoD. Funding supports the technical and systems engineering expertise required for C4ISR systems technical requirements generation, requirements tracking, architecture development, and detailed analyses on various warfare systems under development to determine if the required Command, Control, Communications, and Computers (C4) infrastructure, resources, and other capabilities are aligned and synchronized. The funding also supports the systems engineering for the synthesis of current network-centric, C4ISR Programs of Record with existing/emerging capabilities.
