National Integration To Tactical Systems

Abstract

TENCAP exploits national capabilities to pace evolving threats in support of operations during conflict and competition. TENCAP systems and technologies provide deep sensing to support 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.). TENCAP systems and technologies support Theater-level fires and effects, TENCAP systems enable integrated Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) / Electronic Warfare (EW) / and Cyberspace operations. TENCAP supports Army modernization priorities including Long Range Precision Fires, Assured Position Navigation and Timing/Space (PNT/S), Future Vertical Lift (FVL), and Air Missile Defense (AMD). In summary, TENCAP is a key enabler to defeating peer competitor Anti-Access / Area-Denial (A2/AD) strategies. Funding for this project allows the Army's Tactical Exploitation of National Capabilities (TENCAP) office to monitor, synchronize the transition, and integrate new, updated, and emerging National Intelligence Community (IC) technologies, capabilities, and standards into Army Programs of Record during early stages of development when costs are lowest. The project helps the Army to: (1) maintain operational relevance of Army programs and address changes in technology and the threat, (2) ensure Army programs maintain interoperability with and access to the National IC community architecture and systems as they evolve, and (3) advance the Army's ability to conduct analysis and tasking, collection, processing, exploitation, dissemination (TCPED) of intelligence data. FY 2024 Base funding in the amount of $3.187 million provides integration of validated National IC capabilities and prioritized by the TENCAP General Officer Steering Group (TGOSG) into Army Programs of Record. The funded efforts include system development and integration of National sensors, architectures, and capabilities.
