Networking And Mission Planning

Abstract

The Fiscal Year (FY) 2018 budget request funds the development of Networking and Mission Planning systems required to horizontally and vertically integrate the battlefield and the integration of those systems into Army aircraft. Tasks in this Project support research, development, and test efforts in the Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) phases of these systems. The DVE/BORES program increases survivability for both tactical operations and training missions within the Degraded Visual Environment which severely reduces or eliminates the aircrew's visibility due to atmospheric obscurants. DVE/BORES will combine obscurant penetrating sensor(s) with aircraft state data, via a fusion/synthetic vision system, to provide an initial capability for takeoff and landing modes of flight during brownout conditions. DVE/BORES will improve safety, reduce risk and add flexibility to aviation units by enhancing aircrew awareness through real-time detection and warning of terrain, obstacles and hazards. DVE/BORES will consist of rotorcraft sensor(s), software, software related firmware, and pilot to system interfaces and cueing. The Aviation Data Exploitation Capability (ADEC) is an Army aviation automated information system program providing specific capabilities needed at the aviation unit level to implement and support improvements within aviation operations, safety, and training to increase operational effectiveness and situational awareness at all command echelons. ADEC provides a common and interoperable capability required to implement the DoD mandated Military Flight Operations Quality Assurance processes. ADEC will standardize flight scheduling/management, risk management, mission approval, and flight data analysis and visualization. ADEC provides interfaces to Centralized Aviation Flight Records System (CAFRS) to reduce data entry and the information technology footprint while enabling disconnected and split based operations. The Improved Data Modem (IDM) provides digital connectivity among airborne and ground platforms and transmission of air-to-air target data between IDM equipped aircraft using existing radio and crypto equipment. IDM new software architecture will incorporate the ability to host IDM functionality on hardware that meets the minimum requirements to run the IDM Operating Flight Program. These efforts will include development and testing of that capability, as well as any documentation required to ensure Government Purpose rights to the new software.
