0305128A Security and Intelligence Activities

A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification: This program element provides funds the Proof of Concepts to define fundamental capabilities and limitations of Intelligence XXI technologies which supports Force XXI. This requires a comprehensive understanding of the following seven critical technologies when integrated into live, virtual or constructive environments. These critical technology areas include: displays (public, cockpit and heads-up), computer hardware capable of high speed analytical and graphical processing, computer software for distributed tactical or simulation environments (including tools such as Knowledge Based Reasoning and Artificial Intelligence), networks which link tactical and high speed wide area capabilities [utilizing Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), Syncrous Optical Net (SONET) , and multi-level security capabilities] throughout all echelons, sensors for real-time information of the battlefield throughout the electromagnetic spectrum, the Dynamic Visualization Databases for live or synthetic environment (including terrain, features, texture, images, weather, environment, entities and units as a minimum) , and the Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) and Assisted Target Recognition (AITR) for timeline reductions. This project supports development of new operational concepts efforts in the intelligence arena and therefore is appropriately funded in Budget Activity 7.

Acquisition Strategy: Utilize existing INSCOM, Joint Precision Strike Demonstration and Advanced Research Project Agency contracts to obtain hardware and software integration support. Major integrated Proofs of Concepts, with the 525th Military Intelligence Brigade as the user, will occur on a quarterly basis. Major milestones in FY97 are XVIII ABC exercises (November 1996, May 1997 and September 1997) and Troop Force XXI AWE (Feb 1997).

FY 1996 Planned Program: Project not funded in FY 1996

FY 1997 Planned Program:

	465	Continue Proofs of Concepts with quarterly integration tests
	12	Small Business Innovation Research/Small Business Technology Transfer Program (SBIR/STTR)
Total	477

FY 1998 Planned Program:

	500	Expand Proof of Concepts vertically to divisions with quarterly integration tests
Total	500

FY 1999 Planned Program:

	955	Transition technology horizontally to corps/divisions continuing Proofs of Concept test with quarterly integration tests
Total	955

B. Project Change Summary	FY 1996	FY 1997	FY 1998	FY 1999
FY 1997 President's Budget	0	487	485	939
Appropriated Value		477
Adjustments to Appropriated Value	0		0	0
FY 1998 President's Budget Request	0	477	500	955

Change Summary Explanation: Project decremented (-10) for undistributed congressional reductions.

C. Other Program Funding Summary: Not Applicable

D. Schedule Profile: Proofs of Concept/Integration of prototypes for distributed control and visualization of intelligence information over commercial ATM and tactical networks will be initiated. This capability will enable two dimensional and three dimensional visualization of intelligence data for collaborative situational awareness.
