Strategic C3 Support
Abstract
: This project supports the mission of the Nuclear Command Control and Communications (C3) Systems Engineer to the Joint Staff and provides Executive Leadership and C3 support for the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense (OASD), Networks and Information Integration (NII). Systems Analysis supports long range planning and vulnerability assessments to ensure the Nuclear C3 System is adequate under all conditions of stress or war and recommends investment strategies to evolve the Nuclear Command and Control System (NCCS) to achieve desired capabilities. Operational Assessments of fielded systems and weapon platforms provides the sole means for verification of nuclear C3 systems’ performance in support of plans and procedures, operation orders, training, equipment, and end-to-end system configuration. Assessments provide strategic and theater level C3 interfaces into the Nuclear C3 System. Supporting efforts assure positive control of nuclear forces and connectivity between the Secretary of Defense and strategic and theater forces. Systems Engineering provides the Senior Leadership C3 System with technical and management advice, planning and engineering support, and Test & Evaluation (T&E). Leading Edge Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (C4I) technology is assessed for all communication platforms supporting Executive Travelers and Senior Leaders to include the interoperability of hardware and operational procedures. These elements support the President's and other DoD command centers and aircraft (e.g., Air Force One and the National Airborne Operations Center (NAOC)). Reduction or elimination of funding would seriously degrade DISA’s ability to perform the systems engineering functions supporting the maintenance and evolution of MEECN. DISA would not be able to provide nuclear C3 planning assistance to the Joint Staff or NII, nor perform assessments of the nuclear C3 system.
