UNCLASSIFIED Next Generation Ground Multi-Int Thrust Area Shared Situational Awareness PED Integrated Ground ISR Platform Electronic Warfare RF Collection HUMINT Shared Purpose IMINT (U) Vision - Leverage existing COTS/GOTS technology to enhance current ground intelligence capabilities for collection, processing, exploitation dissemination while capitalizing on I 2 WD internal developmental S&T efforts Purpose: Utilize experience and expertise to support technical portfolio integration, demonstration risk reduction, and transition. Products: • Quality Systems Engineering and Program Management • Existing teaming from within C 4 ISR Co. E for design/fabrication, logistics, software development, information assurance, communications and technical readiness assessment. • Technical demonstration: Proof of Concept, LBRR. • Collection, analysis and dissemination of program lessons learned UNCLASSIFIED Payoffs: • Support Army Requirements Oversight Council (AROC) decision to INVEST in Multi-INT capabilities. • Support I 2 WD core mission to provide matured technology capabilities to Programs Of Record (POR)
UNCLASSIFIED Multi-Function Airborne Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Purpose: Individual sensor modalities have historically been stove-piped, limiting collaboration on multi -sensor platforms. A strategy will be developed for a Multi-Int approach to airborne ISR/RSTA, both at the sensor node and at remote locations. The strategy will encompass all Army airborne manned and unmanned platforms addressing open architecture, modularity, and scalability of the payloads. Product(s): Payoff: • Alignment of future R&D programs at I 2 WD • A multi-division Airborne ISR Integrated with a unified multi-int vision Product Team • Risk reduction for anticipated multi-int • Technology roadmap for converging platforms (ARL-E) architectures of varying sensor modalities • Sensor Interoperability between labs at I 2 WD • Transition technology and techniques to Program Offices (PM SAI, PM FW, etc. ) for investigating Multi-Int architecture inclusion in Army PORs (Gray Eagle, EMARSS, approaches ARL-E) • Aircraft Integration Laboratory capable of simulating an multi-int aircraft configuration and environment UNCLASSIFIED 8
UNCLASSIFIED RITE Thrust Area (U) Vision - To Inform the development of future Army capability sets, Align S&T Investments across the directorate, and Fulfill capability gaps targeted toward operational trends in the changing threat environment Purpose: Develop an assured, scalable and extended network architecture and a suite of on-the-move capabilities fielded on mounted and dismounted platforms to achieve a robust network and to leverage ISR to provide effective and relevant support to maneuver forces during all phases of unified land operations. Products: • Advanced Collection at the Edge • Robust & Secure Network Transport • Processing & Dissemination at the Edge • Relevant Tactical Information /Edge Applications • Collaboration and Mtd/Mbl/HH Devices at the Edge UNCLASSIFIED Payoffs: • Situational Awareness to the Edge • PED at/near the Edge – Organic • Synchronization with Tactical TOC (BCT) and Strategic Intelligence
