Topics • Mission Needs Statement • NSS-21 Operational Concept • Architecture Definition Options & Choice • Software Subcontractor • Summary
Mission Need Statement • A mobile precision strike cell is required in order to command and control US, Allied and NATO strike forces against the TBM launcher threat • Mission – Plan, task, execute and assess precision strike against TBM launchers in-theatre in support of NATO requirements
MNS Needs • NATO needs a 24-hour, reliable and integrated command and control cell which is not vulnerable to TBMs, local unrest, or terrorist violence • Reduce precision strike timelines compared to the current capability by improving target location, identification, weapons effectiveness and combat assessment. • Advance precision strike concepts of employment including real-time weapon sensor cueing, near real-time data dissemination, seamless sensor-to-shooter node communications and dynamic retargeting. • A mobile (ship-based) C&C cell is needed to perform this mission • NATO Sea- Strike 21
MNS Needs Fundamental Priniciples of TMD • Centralized Planning and Control with Decentralized Execution • Will allow integrated defense concepts to be developed and implemented • Decide, Detect and Deliver • Allows use of preapproved rules of engagement and battleplans that permit flexible decentralization schemes • Maintains continuity of operations and integrated tactical missile defense.
MNS Threat • SS-1B/C ‘SCUD’ - Short-Range TBM • Mobile Launchers • Fast Setup (<30 min) and Removal • False Targets New TBM Threats continue to be developed Existing threats are being upgraded
MNS Threat • Turkish/Cypriot Instability • Ship-based Command Cell avoids civilian riots and potential terrorist cells compared to a shore-based C&C cell Design architecture will be suitable to land and mobile based applications
MNS Threat • Land-based Cell Vulnerability • Syria/Iraq/Iran sole/combined forces in pre-emptive attacks • Diyarbakir vulnerable from each threat nation SCUDs targeting strategic forces and capabilities • SCUD range includes Ankara, other NATO bases inside Turkey • NATO Sea-Strike 21 counters this threat
MNS Requirements • Prototype cell must be operational • System must be supportable in the long-term • Hardware and software • Maintainable by NATO detachment & ships force • Interfaces with… • Ship’s systems for navigation, communications & data links, SIPRNET, ship’s internal voice net circuits, & power • NATO personnel – User interfaces must meet NATO tactical symbol standards & language requirements
NSS-21 Proposed Schedule Schedule MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP • Deploy • Deploy System • Leave Behind Support • Training/TTP Package • ARCHITECTURE TRADE OFFS AND DECISION • All Users Considered • PMO Review • PMO Approve • Demonstrate and Refine • Assessment Analysis • System Refinement • System Integration • TTP Refinement Initial Planning & Analysis DEMONSTRATION LAN & CLIENT/ SERVER USER SOFTWARE SHIP INTEGRATIONC SHIP TEST SHORE-BASED BUILD Operations Warfighter Assessments (US, NATO, CAOC, PSC)
MNS Requirements • Interoperable with: • Microwave link to shore command CAOC • Integrated Air Defense Commander (IADC) • AOCC • MASSTIC • BICES • RPC net / RAP • US & Allied air and ground forces via TADIL-J and HF/UHF communications
MNS Constraints • Command ship cannot accommodate large contingent –footprint must be small • Schedule – war imminent - 6 Months • Costs - $5M budgeted for prototype cell • PMO directed software subcontractor in order to meet 6 month goal • Drives the requirement to re-use previously developed architecture and software • Contract specifies all hardware will be new
MNS Alternatives • Shore-based cells – vulnerable to TBM • Air-Based cells - >1 year development • There are no viable alternatives to NSS-21 that: • Are not vulnerable to the TBM threat • Allow direct, in-theatre C & C of forces • Will be deliverable in 6 months
NSS-21 Cell Concept • Manning requirements: • O-6 NATO Commander – Senior Operations Officer • Leadership corps - 4 officers/NCOs • Twelve cell operators • Four 3-person teams • Guidance & support by leaders • Ships space – 5m x 9m, 3m high • Subdivided into command, operations and plan/task/assess compartments
Cell Conceptual Spaces Actors Strike Ops Task Operations Area Server Area Plan Plan/Task/Assess Area Assess SOO Area & Access Control Assess
Real-time Operations Area • Direct links to weapons • Visible from command area • Isolated from Planning area • Separate Server (Redundant) from Planning / Tasking /Assessing area
Architecture Definition • Object-oriented architecture • Hardware, software and people included • User-Case examination determines players and functions • Abbreviated user-case definition period (2 weeks) due to time constraint • Object-oriented design for future upgrades and flexibility • Ensure requirements are well understood prior to system design/integration
Architecture Definition • O-O architecture provides inheritance, encapsulation, minimizes mistakes in developing requirements • Allows for future upgrades with reasonable efforts • Will work with software sub to implement the O-O methodology
Actors • CAOC Coordinator • Cell Commander – Senior Ops Officer • TAO • Strike Force Coordinator (SFC) • Weapons Controller (2) (WCs) • Weapons Planner • Weapons Tasker • Battle Damage Assessor
User Processes • Add current available weapon • Assign available weapon • Designate target/weapon pairing • Designate weapons loitering area • Assign loitering weapon • Assemble ATO • Submit ATO
Software Subcontractor • Directed by PMO to subcontract S/W • OPAINC has developed CAOC software • Excellent teamwork in developing requirements • Certification -- SEMM Level 5 (Optimizing) by CMI 3/1/00
Subcontractor Roles • OPAINC will be the end-to-end software developer • Improved system integrity and interoperability • Leverage the company’s experience in this area • PCI will integrate the software, hardware, people • OPAINC has submitted software architecture and Budget • OPA budget will fit within overall PCI budget for NSS-21 cell • Current SW architecture provides inputs for developing NSS-21 architecture
Software Layer Hierarchy Sensor Processing Weapon Planning Weapon Execution Database Control Comm Control ATO Prep Maps Executive Communications Windows NT 2000 O.S.
Summary • NATO Sea Strike will be field-ready in time for currently unfolding conflicts • Initial field prototype ready in 6 months • User-Case examples used to ensure system design complete and flexible • Software Sub developing end-to-end software solution per requirements
