Mission Description and Budget Item Justification: This program element funds the development of the All Source Analysis System (ASAS) Evolutionary Acquisition (EA) system and its operational testing. ASAS is the automated support system for the intelligence and electronic warfare (IEW) functional area of the Army Battle Command System (ABCS). It is a tactically deployable Automated Data Processing (ADP) system designed to support management of IEW operations and target development in battalions, brigades, armored cavalry regiments (ACR), separate brigades, divisions, corps, and echelons above corps (EAC). The projects in this program element support research efforts in the engineering and manufacturing development phases of the acquisition strategy and therefore are correctly placed in Budget Activity 5.

A. Mission Description and Justification: Project DB19 - ASAS Evolutionary Acquisition: This project funds the development of the Army's only tactical intelligence fusion project, the ASAS Block II Evolutionary Acquisition, within the Intelligence Fusion Project Office. The successful execution of military operations requires a flexible and modular intelligence and targeting system that will provide tactical commanders a common view of the battlefield and a means for gaining a timely and comprehensive understanding of enemy force deployments, capabilities, and potential courses of action. The ASAS is a ground based, mobile, command and control, intelligence processing system. The ASAS system provides automated support to the combat commander in the areas of intelligence and collection management, all-source target and situation analysis, single- and multi-source processing, intelligence reporting, electronic warfare, and operational security as well as automation support to the battlefield commander's command and control.

Acquisition Strategy: The ASAS Block II development program will build upon and expand the capabilities and functionalities developed and produced in the ASAS Block I System including conversion to the Army Tactical Command and Control System (ATCCS) Common Hardware/Software Open architecture and the OSD directed Common Operating Environment (COE) and Modernized Integrated Database (MIDB). Additional software capabilities include enhanced intelligence and command and control functionality, jump and degraded mode operations, enhanced communications, and improved reliability and supportability. ASAS Block II strategy maximizes the use of Government Furnished Equipment (GFE), government and commercial Non-Developmental Item (NDI) software, reuse of proven Office of Secretary of Defense (OSD) and ATCCS Command, Control, Communications and Intelligence (C3I) software, multiple prototype deliveries and continuous user test and evaluation opportunities. This strategy provides early user capabilities and streamlines acquisition. Building upon experience and feedback gained from the fielded ASAS and other tactical fusion prototypes, ASAS Block II will undergo Army Systems Acquisition Review Council (ASARC) Milestone III review in FY 99.

In March 1994, the Army was directed to accelerate fielding the ASAS capability across the force (including all Military Intelligence reserve units and National Guard brigades) by FY99. This ASAS-Extended program accomplishes this through: reuse of proven Block I software; leveraging the traditional acquisition successes of Block I; use of relatively low cost NDI equipment; and tailoring the existing training and maintenance support structure. The Army's intent is to keep fielded ASAS technology as current as possible by initiating value engineering and technology insertion to the fielded ASAS, and by packaging some of the ASAS Block II software drops into capability packages and inserting them into the fielded ASAS. These capability packages will be used with all of the fielded ASAS systems and modules. ASAS Block II will be fielded to Army active and reserve armored cavalry regiments, separate brigades, divisions, corps, and echelons-above corps. Brigades and Battalions will receive Collateral Remote Workstations.

A. Mission Description and Justification: Project D2FT - ASAS Test and Evaluation: This project finances the direct costs of planning and conducting testing and evaluation of the ASAS by the Operational Test and Evaluation Command (OPTEC). ASAS is an Acquisition Category (ACAT) I system with several dedicated iterations of Test and Evaluation (Technical and Operational) between FY 95 and FY 99. Testing and evaluations are conducted under conditions, as close as possible, to those encountered in actual combat with typical user troops trained to employ the system. As necessary, OPTEC provides Army leadership with an evaluation of effectiveness and suitability of the system. Project D2FT is restructured from PE 0605712A. TECOM provides the Army leadership with testing of the ASAS, and is not a new start.
