Networking And Mission Planning
Abstract
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2019 budget estimate submission 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 Program Element Support research, development, and test efforts in the Engineering and Manufacturing Development phases of these systems. The DVE Quick Reaction Capability (QRC) is an Army Directed Requirement (DR) to provide DVE systems to 15 HH-60M Blackhawk MEDEVAC helicopters and 25 Special Operations aircraft. The DVE QRC DR fulfills an immediate DVE requirement while bridging the gap between future DVE capabilities pursued within the DVE Increment I program of record. The DVE QRC DR provides a forward looking, situational awareness, fused-sensor image for single aircraft takeoff and landing in brownout conditions. The Degraded Visual Environment (DVE) Increment I program increases survivability due to DVE brownout conditions encountered during takeoff and landing. The DVE Increment I program is equally applicable to training scenarios as well as tactical operations. DVE Increment I will combine sensor(s) technology with critical aircraft flight information (aircraft state data) to provide an initial capability that increases aircrew awareness through detection and warning of hazardous terrain and obstacles. DVE Increment I improves safety, reduces risk, and maximizes flexibility for Aviation units. DVE Increment I activities include development, system testing, qualification, and aircraft integration. 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.
