Mission Description and Budget Item Justification: This Program Element (PE) supports the engineering development directed at meeting the tactical commanders intelligence mission requirements for contingency force deployment and deep battle surveillance and targeting - as stated in Field Manual 100-5. Specific Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) and multi-spectral developments are managed within the Army's Tactical Exploitation of National Capabilities (TENCAP) program. The scope of the program is directed towards advanced techniques and capabilities to exploit National and selected theater capabilities that uniquely meet stated Army tactical intelligence and targeting needs and deficiencies for near-real-time receipt, analysis, and dissemination to the appropriate tactical echelon. Further details may be found in the Tactical Intelligence and Related Activities (TIARA) Congressional Justification Book, Volume II and the TENCAP Master Plan. The projects in this PE support research efforts in the engineering and manufacturing development phases of the acquisition strategy and are therefore correctly placed in Budget Activity 5.

A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification This project funds the development of two Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) JTAGS units. The project is a follow-on to the Tactical Surveillance Demonstration (TSD) and Tactical Surveillance Demonstration Enhancement (TSDE) programs (Project D909). JTAGS is designed for in-theater receipt, processing and dissemination of warning and alerting data from Defense Support Program (DSP) sensors and follow-on space based sensors of major tactical events such as missile launches. JTAGS supports active defense, attack operations, and passive defense. By being located in-theater, the system improves the warning and alerting response time and eliminates several single-point-failure susceptible communications relay nodes. It also serves as the in-theater element of the USSPACECOM's Tactical Event System (TES). The warning and cueing information gathered will be disseminated via Tactical Information Broadcast System (TIBS), Tactical Related Application (TRAP) and other existing in-theater communication networks.

Acquisition Strategy: JTAGS transitioned into a formal ACAT III NDI acquisition program at the MS II In-Process Review (IPR) on 6 May 1994. Based on the decision made by the Milestone Decision Authority (MDA), JTAGS entered the Engineering and Manufacturing (EMD) phase. The EMD phase called for design, total integration and delivery of two EMD prototypes. Technical and operational testing was completed in Nov 95. Milestone III approval was obtained on 26 Feb 1996.

FY 1995 Accomplishments:

	6897	Developed and delivered two JTAGS EMD units.
	1851	Completed developmental and operational testing of EMD units.
	687	Prepared for MS III decision review.

A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification: This project supports the engineering 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), Electronic Processing Dissemination System (EPDS) and Tactical Exploitation System (TES). The Army's emerging TES will incorporate the standards and protocols dictated by the Common Imagery Ground/Surface System (CIG/SS) 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)). Graphic Situation Display (GSD) is a jointly funded program to develop a means to computer generate, transmit, and display graphical representations of the battle space thereby saving communicating bandwidth, manpower and time. The beta software portion of the GSD effort was funded with FY 1993 Military Exploitation of Reconnaissance and Intelligence Technology (MERIT) funds.

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. 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.

FY 1995 Accomplishments:
