Abstract
Joint Interoperability of Tactical Command and Control Systems (JINTACCS) $5.803M - The USMC JINTACCS program provides for critical engineering services. JINTACCS is essential to USMC development and maintenance of tactical data exchange standards (Link 16, Variable Message Format (VMF), United States Message Text Format (USMTF), etc.) focused on achieving Joint interoperability through: (1) the standardization of message protocols, format, content, implementation, and documentation; (2) the assessment and identification of Tactical Data Link (TDL) and tactical data message interoperability shortfalls and their impact to interoperability; (3) the alignment of TDL and tactical data message implementation with desired capabilities; and (4) the posturing Marine Corps TDL and tactical data message users for migration to emerging formats and transmission waveforms. This includes: (1) The continued exploration of solutions for addressing a Joint capability gap in tactical radio bridging; (2) Implementation and management of the Marine Corps Interoperability Enhancement Program (IEP), a Chairman Joint Chief of Staff Instruction (CJCSI) 6610.01E required process for using automated tools and procedures to assess bit-level interoperability of systems implementing TDL and tactical data messages and document Marine Corps systems' TDL bit-level message implementation; and (3) Expand TDL and VMF support to include Marine Corps aviation and intelligence systems to ensure adherence to standards and to enable interoperability with Joint and Allied command and control and weapon systems. Long Range Radar (AN/TPS-59) $11.606M - The AN/TPS-59A(V)3 is a transportable, three dimensional, tactical radar system that provides the Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) with long-range surveillance. It is the MAGTF's only ground based long range sensor that provides the capability to detect and report Air Breathing Targets (ABT) and track Theater Ballistic Missiles (TBM). The AN/TPS-59A(V)3 Radar System is connected to the Common Aviation Command and Control Systems (CAC2S). It provides the air defense controllers data and may be used autonomously to conduct Ground control Intercept, tactical en-route Air Traffic Control (ATC), or TBM alert operations via the joint Integrated Air Missile Defense (IAMD) encrypted Link-16. The USMC extended the AN/TPS-59 service life through 2035; therefore, in order to maintain its operational relevance on the battlefield, a number of modernization efforts are being initiated. The Digital Receiver and Exciter (DREX) upgrade will convert the analog receivers and exciters to digital to address Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS) issues, enable spectral agility, reduce noise, reduce false alarms, and enhance electronic counter-countermeasures (ECCM) capability. This effort will include an essential simulation and test environment capability.
