Tactical Intel Targeting Access Node Adv Develop

Abstract

This project funds development and prototyping of space-to-ground station capabilities to provide timely assured access to National and Commercial Space-Based Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) sensor data supporting 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.). Funding for TITAN Advance Development funding will also prototype software analytic capabilities to increase the speed, precision and accuracy of the intelligence cycle through Automated/Assisted Sensor-to-Shooter (S2S) workflows. These capabilities will be integrated into the TITAN Ground Station Program of Record (POR). FY2025 base funding in the amount of $17.856 million enables the TENCAP program to dedicate appropriate engineering support to improve the TITAN Surrogates, TITAN Pre-Prototypes, and Space Ground Component Kits (SGCK) and ensure they continues to leverage legacy and emergent National Reconnaissance (NRO) Overhead Systems (NOS) and Commercial sensors in collaboration with required systems to receive required products through planned IC architectural changes over time. The SGCK is a component of the TITAN POR that provides TITAN access to space capabilities. The SGCK consists of a mission critical small form- factor antenna, specialized software, Automated Target Recognition tools, and enhanced interoperability with the fires architecture to support the Army's Long Range Precision Fires (LRPF) priority. The SGCK, originally developed by TENCAP, was integrated into the TITAN POR in FY23 and provides, rapid availability of National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) Overhead Systems (NOS) Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) and Signal Intelligence (SIGINT) data from Theater, National and Commercial sources. The TITAN Surrogates and TITAN Pre-Prototypes are systems that provide risk reduction and lessons learned to improve the TITAN POR.
