Marine Air Command and Control System: Creating Resilient Sensors, Sharers, and Shooters
Abstract
aggressive adversary targeting efforts, contributing to maritime situational awareness, and supporting distributed engagement. Air and surface surveillance radar sensors are highly vulnerable to detection, are not deployed in sufficient numbers to absorb an attack, detect low flying threats at insufficient distances to intercept them over water or land, and continue to have limited deployment and mobility options in a maritime environment. Additionally, the MACCS is not currently organized, trained, or equipped to adaptively task-organize employed AC2 nodes by reconfiguring functional capabilities optimally accomplish the mission as the situation changes. The MAGTF as part of an integrated Naval Forces will sense, share, deceive, and engage peer adversary forces in a distributed maritime environment in the contact, surge, and blunt layers to achieve national military objectives along the competition continuum and improve survivability. The MACCS must deploy small and stealthy autonomous unmanned air and surface multi-spectral / modal sensors to augment larger air surveillance radars, employ networked hybrid AC2 nodes that can adapt during operations, and reinvigorate the Marine Corps aviation philosophy of centralized command and decentralized control. The objective is to swarm forces and fires to destroy adversary physical and psychological strength and increase friendly force survivability.
