MARINE AIR-GROUND TASK FORCE (MAGTF) COMMAND, CONTROL, COMMUNICATIONS, AND COMPUTERS (C4)
Abstract
With this submission, the name of the category changed to now include MAGTF in the title. This change is made to provide clarification between separate C4 efforts discussed in another project within this PE. This activity encompasses all FD/MCWL C4 related experimentation efforts including assessment of equipment, new TTPs, training programs, and proposed organizational changes associated with enhanced C4 capabilities. Although this category covers several small (less than $500K per FY) efforts being pursued by FD/MCWL, most programs listed below are considered major (valued at $500K or more) or have near real-time operational impact. Investments in this activity will be conducted under the Thrust Areas of C4ISR and Cyber/EW. The FY 2015 to FY 2016 increase in category funding is attributable to focusing on EF21, with development and testing of a configurable C2 suite that enhances operations from aviation platforms and evaluation and experimentation with emerging technologies that support future maritime C2 capabilities. The FY 2016 to FY 2017 decrease in category funding is mainly due to a culmination of experimentation with modified commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) waveforms; thereby allowing a shift into using existing POR-based waveforms to conduct further experimentation.
