A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification: Supports the tactical commander's intelligence requirements for contingency force development and deep battle targeting as stated in Field Manual 100-5. Specific developments are managed within the Army's Tactical Exploitation of National Capabilities (TENCAP) program. The scope of the program is to leverage specific data and capabilities available from existing and emerging National and selected theater capabilities that meet stated Army tactical intelligence information and targeting needs to correct deficiencies, and develop concepts, techniques and prototype processors to exploit critical data for near-real time integration into the appropriate tactical echelon. This project supports the advanced development/enhancement of the Electronic Tactical User Terminal (ETUT), Mobile Integrated Tactical Terminal (MITT) (replaces the Tactical High Mobility Terminal (THMT)), Forward Area Support Terminal (FAST), Tactical Exploitation System (TES), and Electronic Processing and Dissemination System (EPDS). The Army's emerging TES will incorporate the standards and protocols dictated by the Common Imagery Ground Surface System (CIGSS) program. TES brings all of the existing and emerging Army TENCAP capabilities (EPDS, MIES, and ETRAC) into an integrated common baseline; downsized modular and scaleable to meet a wide range of contingency requirements. TENCAP Common Baseline addresses common subsystems, planned improvements, key activities and ongoing/planned initiatives determined to have potential application to multiple TENCAP systems, including MIES and ETRAC that are funded under the Defense Airborne Reconnaissance Program (DARP) (PE 0305154D). Specific details are provided in the Tactical Intelligence and Related Activities (TIARA) Congressional Justification Book, Volume II, and in the Army TENCAP Master Plan. This Program Element (PE) focuses on efforts associated with advanced technology development used to demonstrate general military utility to include demonstration and validation in the area of TENCAP and is correctly placed in Budget Activity 4.

Acquisition Strategy: As pioneers in rapid acquisition, ASPO's success in delivering systems as those described above to warfighters can be directly attributed to an environment emphasizing stable funding, low density acquisition, minimal use of MILSPECS, and managed competition. By tailoring existing technology, leveraging the best commercial practices, and using commercial and government-off the shelf software, ASPO minimizes risk while maximizing efficiency. Strong user involvement and a robust operations and maintenance program and a vigorous P3I effort ensure programmatic success. Finally, dedicated cradle to grave Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) for TENCAP systems is accomplished through a coordinated effort by Government and contractor personnel and facilities.
