A. (U) MISSION DESCRIPTION AND BUDGET ITEM JUSTIFICATION: This Program Element (PE) contains two projects: Over-the-Horizon (OTH) Targeting and Space and Electronic Warfare (SEW) Engineering. Both projects are systems engineering non-acquisition programs with the objectives of developing, testing and validating Naval Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) architectures to support naval missions in Joint and Coalition Theater. The mission of this program element is carried out by multiple tasks that are used to ensure Naval Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence (C4I), Surveillance, and Command and Control Warfare (C2W) components of SEW are effectively integrated into the C4ISR architectures. The Program additionally ensures that (1) the composite operational capabilities of SEW systems (not the individual component systems) conform to the Naval C4ISR architecture as related to the objectives of National Defense Strategy and evolving joint visions and direction, such as "COPERNICUS...Forward", "Forward...From the Sea" and C4I For the Warrior, the Defense Science Board Summer Study Task Force on Information Architecture for the Battlefield and are guided by CINC requirements; and (2) that SEW systems and systems integration effort involves leading-edge technology transfer of information processing technologies primarily through integration of government and commercial off-the-shelf (COTS/GOTS) products to enhance the Navy's operational capability, interoperability, flexible reconfiguration, as well as reduce costs.

(U) JUSTIFICATION FOR BUDGET ACTIVITY: This program is funded under DEMONSTRATION & VALIDATION because it develops and integrates hardware for experimental test related to specific ship or aircraft applications.

A. (U) MISSION DESCRIPTION AND BUDGET ITEM JUSTIFICATION: The Over-the-Horizon Targeting (OTH-T) project supports prototyping and engineering activities critical to the development of operational capabilities to target TOMAHAWK and HARPOON cruise missiles beyond the sensor range of the launch platforms. Specifically, to: Demonstrate enhanced capability to integrate sensor data using prototype sensor interface systems, and provide that information via satellite communications to: (1) the Force Over-the-Horizon Track Coordinator (FOTC) for input into the common tactical/operational picture, and (2) to TOMAHAWK and HARPOON cruise missile targeting systems. This line supports the promulgation of composite OTH-T system specifications; Certifies the interoperability of, and exercises configuration control over any system that operates on the Officer-in-Tactical Command Information Exchange System (OTCIXS) net. This ensures the integrity of the net for transmission of OTH-T messages as new systems come onto the net, or as existing systems undergo substantive software revisions/upgrades. This line also provides technical expertise afloat and ashore via a cadre of highly-trained Fleet Systems Engineers who ensure smooth integration of new capabilities to enhance OTH-T during major Fleet exercises and demonstrations which are used to validate and evaluate developed portions of Navy Battle Force Information Architecture.

A. (U) MISSION DESCRIPTION AND BUDGET ITEM JUSTIFICATION: Space and Electronic Warfare (SEW) Engineering is a non-acquisition systems engineering effort and has the objectives of developing, testing and validating a Naval Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) architecture to support naval missions in Joint and Coalition Theater. The mission is carried out by multiple tasks that are used to ensure Naval Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence (C4I), Surveillance, and Information Warfare components are effectively integrated into the C4ISR architecture. The Project additionally ensures that (1) the composite operational capabilities of the individual component systems conform to the C4ISR as related to the objectives of National Defense Strategy and evolving joint visions and direction, such as COPERNICUS...Forward", "Forward...From the Sea" and C4I For the Warrior, the Defense Science Board Summer Study Task Force on Information Architecture for the Battlefield. This effort is guided by CINC requirements; and (2) the need to integrate leading-edge information processing technologies primarily through the use of government and commercial off-the-shelf (COTS/GOTS) products to enhance the Navy's operational capability, interoperability, flexible reconfiguration, as well as reduce costs. C4ISR architectures support the following activities in achieving a fully integrated, interoperable Naval C4I system: identify technology developments that can be brought to bear to meet and validate C4ISR operational objectives, address prioritized CINC issues; integrate Naval C4I system developments, including developments from other services and commercially developed products in support of Joint Warfare Interoperability Demonstrations (JWID); develop interface and connectivity standards based architectures to support the enhanced operational capabilities in support of the C4ISR architectures; extract lessons learned for feedback from research, development, and acquisition programs to support further C4ISR architecture development efforts or more extensive implementation. This effort also performs high-level systems architecture/engineering to support long-range planning for COPERNICUS...Forward", C4I For the Warrior, Theater Battle Management (in conjunction with the Air Force), Digitization of the Battlefield (in conjunction with the Army), Theater Ballistic Missile Defense, Mine Warfare, Amphibious Warfare integration into C4ISR, the Defense Information infrastructure (DII) and coalition force architectures; as well as technical architecture/engineering to support C4I Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) joint technical architecture initiatives.
