Command, Control, Communications & Intelligence (C3I) Systems Analysis and Trade-Offs

Abstract

This report presents the results of a system analysis of many of the AFRL/IF programs that support target engagement under the banner of Sensor to Decision-maker to Shooter. Some of these programs cut across AFRL directorates, are funded by multiple sources and have joint service and coalition partner involvement. The analysis also included a review of the current threat and architecture issues being flagged by Air Force as important to warfighter capabilities. The analysis focused on meeting current needs as well as outlining technical design difficulties, and transition opportunities. The AFRL/IF has done an excellent job in gaining support and funding for key programs. Strong partnerships have been established across the Air Force, Joint and Coalition communities, putting AFRL/IF in a great position to make significant technical contributions leading to a fully compliant fielded capability. This report summarizes key program findings and Recommendations.
