6 Technology Growth Areas - Descriptors Brief Description (Not Inclusive) Assured Command and Control (AC2) Battlespace Awareness (BA) Integrated Fires (IF) AC2 is the ability of our naval commanders to exercise authority and direction over assigned and attached Navy and Joint forces in the accomplishment of a mission while access to and use of critical information, systems and services are denied, degraded or exploited. Sensing the environment, understanding our adversaries and operating and defending our communications and networked systems are inextricably linked to the assurance of C2. AC2 will require a more robust, protected, resilient and reliable information infrastructure that undergirds the Navy's overall information environment and allow uninterrupted worldwide communication. AC2 is enabled by essential network and data link services across secured segments of the electromagnetic spectrum to transport, share, store, protect and disseminate critical mission/combat information. Battlespace Awareness (BA) is the ability to have awareness of the environment and the status of adversary and friendly forces, yielding an interactive picture that provides timely, relevant and accurate assessments of friendly and adversary operations within the battlespace. understand the characteristics and conditions of the operating environment as it would relate to the disposition and intention of our force and an adversary force. BA will require enhanced and advanced means to rapidly sense, collect, process, analyze, and evaluate information content to exploit the operating environment. The understanding of the operating environment will serve as the basis from which nearly all decisions will be made, enabling our forces to more effectively maneuver and coordinate actions that engage and target enemy forces. Unique to BA are the decisions which require levels of synchronized Assured Command and Control (AC2) and Integrated Fires (IF) elements to provide characteristics and conditions ensuring the understanding of the operating environment and to effectively use AC2/IF elements to exploit the operating environment to our advantage. BA is aided by passive discrimination, identification and tracking of objects, persistent sensing and realtime/multi-spectral awareness, and cyber situational awareness within the operating environment. Integrated Fires (IF) is the ability to fully employ integrated information in warfare by expanding the use of advanced electronic warfare and offensive cyber effects to complement existing and planned air, surface and subsurface kinetic weapons within the battlespace. IF effects will be designed to impact and change adversary behavior, or when necessary, to control, manipulate, deny, degrade or destroy his warfighting capabilities. IF will use networks, cyberspace and space capabilities to achieve non-kinetic effects (active and passive discrimination) and kinetic effects (direct support to Fires) to exploit and attack the vulnerabilities of adversaries. IF will expand, in a deliberate and systematic methodology, both kinetic and non-kinetic weapons desired effects. IF is enabled by the use of advanced electronic warfare and offensive cyber effects to complement existing and planned air, surface and subsurface kinetic weapons within the battlespace. 6

7 Definitions of Prototype A prototype project can generally be described as a preliminary pilot, test, evaluation, demonstration, or agile development activity used to evaluate the technical or manufacturing feasibility or military utility of a particular technology, process, concept, end item, effect, or other discrete feature. Prototype projects may include systems, subsystems, components, materials, methodology, technology, or processes 7

8 Definitions of Prototype A prototype project may involve: a proof of concept a pilot a novel application of commercial technologies for defense purposes a creation, design, development, demonstration of technical or operational utility; or combinations of the foregoing, related to a prototype The quantity should generally be limited to that needed to prove technical or manufacturing feasibility or evaluate military utility 8
