- Description
- The purpose of this modification is to make the following changes: A) SECTION I, "Funding Opportunity Description" is revised to add a new focus area. Offers may submit White Papers for this new area at any time. There is not a specific submission date other than those identified in Section IV/Application and Submission Information, Paragraph 3/Submission Dates and Times. No other changes have been made. ____________________________________ In SECTION I add the following information immediately following Paragraph 4/Advanced Tactical Data Links (ATDL): 5. Radio Frequency (RF) Resiliency for AOC Mission Systems The Combined/Joint Force Air Component Commander's (C/JFACC's) ability to Command & Control (C2) air power is threatened by emerging anti-access/area-denial (A2/AD) security challenges around the globe, to include the changing US overseas defense posture, and emergence of space and cyberspace as contested domains of future conflicts. Based on these trends, and the Air Operation Centers (AOCs) dependence on Internet Protocol (IP) and satellite based systems, the C/JFACC's C2 abilities in a contested environment are at risk. A solution to combat these threats must be integrated into AOCs. Technology gains in the area of Wideband High Frequency (WBHF) may provide a distributed control capability to maintain a degree of C2. Solutions should include stand-alone RF systems at all AOCs and bases, and a deployable RF capability for dispersed/austere sites. For example, WBHF could provide AOCs the ability to ensure that critical mission products, such as Air Tasking Orders (ATOs) and Air Combat Orders (ACOs), are able to reach remote Wings. Reasearch areas include: A) Conduct experiments and demonstrations providing validation of critical capabilities and enhancements to WBHF systems B) Model the future WBHF network for the AOC, to demonstrate scenario-based mission impact C) Conduct fielding studies of WBHF systems D) Develop a WBHF mesh network architecture that supports data routing and dissemination E) Develop Automatic Link Establishment (ALE) techniques for WBHF F) Develop the required security protection to pass ATOs and ACOs, to include the integration of secure Type 1 encryption devices with WBHF systems
