Focus Area 1: Geolocation and Tagging, Tracking, Locating The ability to have instant and accurate knowledge of the status and location of friendly and enemy forces and assets is a vital factor in determining the victor of the conflict. This ability becomes even more critical in today's environment of non-linear warfare. Areas of interest within this focus area include: Emerging precision geolocation techniques. These techniques may combine air and space assets by fusing the data sources to improve overall accuracy. Innovative methods of correlating and deconflicting Joint Blue Force Situational Awareness (JBFSA) information using the latest technologies (e.g., artificial intelligence, fuzzy logic, self-learning applications) to enhance situational awareness (SA). Tools to provide JBFSA location data to crews in aircraft cockpits, tanks, artillery, etc. in real-time. Current dissemination architectures may be modified to get pertinent real-time JBFSA data to shooters. Methods of routing digital information with minimal man-in-the-loop operations, across various interfaces, formats and mediums are needed. New and emerging technologies to tag and track blue, coalition or red forces. These technologies should be non-intrusive, covert, easily applied and sustained, and can be easily integrated into existing architectures, devices and operations concepts. Populating and improving Common Operational Pictures (COPs) and exchanging data. Alternative navigation methods less reliant on Global Positioning System (GPS) or innovative methods of augmenting GPS to make it less vulnerable. Exploitation of emerging wireless network capabilities. - 2. Focus Area 2: Sensor, Data Fusion and Dissemination This focus area is interested in exploiting existing or planned space-based IR sensors or other sensors whose primary mission is not battlespace awareness. These additional sensors may include the integration of commercial and civil (NASA, NOAA) systems. The emphasis is on deriving data or information for the BA/TI missions in real or near real-time, and easily fusing or correlating these products with the products from systems designed specifically for the BA/TI missions. For the purpose of this focus area, the Battlespace is on the ground. Respondees should describe how and to what extent their concept addresses one or more of the following issues: How do the proposed systems or algorithms improve our ability to identify known IR emitters/emissions? How do the proposed systems or algorithms improve our ability to identify and/or characterize moving targets? How do the proposed systems or algorithms help in extracting new targets of interest? How do the proposed systems help in geolocation of IR emitters/emissions? How do the proposed systems help in differentiation of closely spaced IR emitters/emissions? How do the proposed systems help in characterizing the target signatures beyond what is available from existing IR-based systems? How do we implement time-dominant cloud computing architecture to facilitate data sharing and fusion among data providers and customers? How do we develop and implement data standardization and harmonization across the range of sensors? - 3. Focus Area 3: Unconventional/Asymmetric Warfare/Support to Special Operations Unconventional/Asymmetric warfare is unique mission set with unique requirements. Special Operations Forces (SOF) are integrated with all service branches in support of the Joint fight to include paramilitary forces in support of Homeland Security. The new relationships between military, non-traditional civilian, and/or coalition forces will often require the sharing of releasable versions of classified capabilities or products. Tools and architectures used to achieve this ability must be capable of rapid data transfer; and they must be interoperable with a variety of other systems, including conventional and unconventional military, paramilitary, and civilian systems. The high mobility of these forces and the variety of mission types involved in such warfare mandate that devices used in such operations have small footprints, low weights, are easy to use, and have multifunctional operation to support these missions. Most of these systems must be human transportable. If devices have a user interface, consideration should be given to making the interface available in foreign languages. These forces depend on robust communication architectures and accurate, timely information flow. That information exchange must be scalable and tailored to the specific mission. Regardless of the information being relayed, the issue is how to disseminate this time sensitive data from US and/or Coalition forces throughout a multinational coalition group. Areas of interest within this focus area include: Cyber effects to enable irregular warfare. Space force enhancement (e.g., SATCOM, PNT, space weather). Tools to detect Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) with sufficient timeliness and standoff range to allow safe disarming or avoidance. Tools to fuse behavioral models and/or historical data with current ISR capabilities to accurately predict future IED events or geographical areas for concern. Tools to detect, target, and track weapons of mass destruction. Methods to link local area data networks via satellite to a COP. Commercially available device(s)/application(s) that can be used to merge military and civilian capabilities. Technology solutions should consider classification/releasability of data, size and weight issues, and compatibility with current and future systems. Emphasis should be placed on achieving a relatively high data rate to "disadvantaged" users such as SOF, to enable the timely receipt of actionable data. Tools, equipment, and software to support Special Operations Forces. Tools and equipment that enable wide-band, low profile communications in man-pack portable configurations to include LPI/LPD/LPX capabilities. Communication encryption software that has the potential to meet TYPE I standards. Commercial foreign-releasable tools for imagery analysis and download, situational awareness, mission planning, and force tracking. Multi-role Antenna arrays needed for aircraft with roll-on, roll-off installation without requiring aircraft modification. Tools to enhance Building Partnership Capacities and coalition partners' mission capabilities and effectiveness. - 4. Focus Area 4: Situational Awareness Persistence can be achieved with long loitering assets or with sophisticated exploitation techniques (e.g., change detection). Persistent SA leverages capabilities of both national reconnaissance assets and theater assets to provide decision makers needed information at the time and in the format needed and feeds tools that provide comprehensive battlespace awareness. Persistent SA provides "the means to find, fix and finish combat operations against new and elusive foes:" dynamic targeting, all-weather precision, restrictive rules of engagement, collateral damage control and security access issues. AF TENCAP is looking for innovative ideas/concepts that leverage both our national systems capabilities and leading-edge technologies, to provide a significant enhancement to our Persistent SA capability. Specific areas of interest include: Timely, all weather detection, identification and location of hard and buried targets. Near-real-time detection, location and identification of Personal Communications Systems. Indications and warnings of imminent or potential threats and activities of interest. Detection, location and identification of targets employing advanced camouflage, concealment and deception tactics (camouflage, foliage obscuration, co-located with civilians). Detecting, identifying and locating difficult to detect and LPI/LPD/LPX signals such as short up-time/blinking emitters, frequency hopping and spread-spectrum signals, and low power signals/jammers, etc.. Timely detection, characterization and location of intentional and unintentional electromagnetic interference affecting military or commercial SATCOM. Detection, characterization, and geolocation of the source of attacks against our space assets. Automated, multi-INT data mining, data fusion, exploitation, and analysis systems/tools that leverage multi-sensor/multi-platform data to provide reliable, scalable, contacting and time dominant intel and reporting. Automated exploitation systems that include effective multi-intelligence data mining capabilities and/or automated target recognition capabilities. Effective Specific Emitter Identification (SEI)/Specific Emitter Tracking (SET) capabilities that address multiple targets, across all of the electromagnetic spectrum, moving or stationary, real or decoy. Remote chemical/biological agent detection and identification. Due to high false alarm rates using existing passive sensors, explore active sensing technology to increase sensitivity and reduce false alarms over current deployed systems. In addition, dissemination of accurate chemical/biological detection identification and characterization via existing battlefield architectures as well as population of common operating pictures for a more complete battlefield status is desired. - 5. Focus Area 5: Space Situational Awareness Many space systems have been developed for specific purposes and are used only for their primary intended missions. This interest area includes exploiting planned and existing space and ground based sensors for SSA missions which may not be the primary or intended purpose of the sensors. The goal is to use these sensors to map/track or improve mapping/tracking of space objects. The products developed under this focus area need to be used eventually on a Common Operating Environment (COE) platform and integrated with a visualization tool; however, development of the COE is not the goal of this focus area. How do we develop and implement data standardization and harmonization across the range of sensors contributing to SSA? How do we perform IR multi-stage correlation, sensor cross-cueing in the Space Surveillance Network, and multi-source fusion of space tracks using IR and radar? How do we develop software to determine space systems ops status, and sensor coverage of space? How do we provide the capability to correlate and fuse imagery, optical, and other INTs, both of space objects and from space sensors, with IR and radar? What capabilities exist to integrate space systems C2 with Space & Terrestrial sensor status and configuration? How do we create an interface for an enhanced visualization tool to feed a space COP display? How do we leverage multiple phenomenologies (e.g., polarimetry, spectral data, RF emissions) from existing systems to better satisfy our satellite intelligence needs? How do we use existing or planned sensors, including those with a non-SSA mission, to manually or automatically track space objects? How do we implement a real-time cloud computing architecture to facilitate data sharing and fusion among data providers and customers? How do we enhance, integrate or improve applicable "walker" capabilities? - 6. Focus Area 6: Cyber and Spectrum Warfare Operations AF TENCAP seeks to leverage innovative cyber and/or RF-enabled capabilities in each of the areas defined below to enhance joint warfighting posture for situational awareness (SA), enhanced intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), operational preparation of the environment (OPE), battle damage assessment (BDA) and offensive cyber purposes. Primary interest is in the development of capabilities which integrate across warfighting domains. Desired capabilities/techniques exclude enterprise IT infrastructure, systems and applications. Specific areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: Capabilities/techniques for RF-enabled capabilities: - o Rapid integration of relatively mature RF-enabled cyber capabilities with tactical airframes or special mission platforms. - o Rapid development and integration of cyber with software-defined radios. - o Rapid development of highly sophisticated EW techniques and/or technologies. Risk reduction prototyping of next-generation, tactical cyber and/or EW capabilities. Offensive capabilities/techniques against data confidentiality, integrity and availability and active defense (e.g., penetration testing) capabilities. Cyber and/or EW capabilities that provide obfuscated communications and/or techniques for tactical warfighter platforms to achieve global reach and access. Capabilities /techniques that protect tactical warfighter assets against spectrum or electromagnetic interference (EMI) threats - o Capabilities/and or techniques that provide indications and warnings (I&W), situational awareness (SA) and/or automated force protection countermeasures. Capabilities and/or techniques that support cyber and/or EW operational preparation of the environment (OPE), enhanced ISR, measures of effectiveness/performance (MOE/MOP), and /or battle damage assessments (BDA). End to end command and control (C2) infrastructure specifically tailored to the projection of full-spectrum tactical cyber capabilities. - 7. Focus Area 7: Air Superiority Achieving Air Superiority encompasses a broad range of capabilities in many mission areas spanning air, space and cyber domains. In order to fully characterize the relevant Science and Technology (S&T) trends that will shape future capabilities required for Air Superiority. Tools should be developed in critical mission areas of persistent battlespace awareness including sensors/sensor suites, robust, net-centric operations, offensive and proactive defensive cyber capabilities and rapid global mobility. The technologies will come primarily from non-material solutions and should be developed to enhance the core tenants of Air Superiority and ensure a streamlined approach to further enhance campaign planning in an A2/AD environment. Survivable and secure netted tools and technologies that attain or enhance robust, survivable, and flexible LPI/LPD high-bandwidth communications and datalink architectures to effectively execute command and control in an A2/AD environment. Survivable, interoperable, multi-platform, full-spectrum, state-of-the-art offensive and defensive electronic warfare (EW) capabilities--electronic Attack (EA), electronic protect (EP), and electronic support (ES). Integrate off-board sources (space-based, government and commercial) to improve organic precision direction-finding (DF) and geolocation of threat systems and enhance situational awareness. Tools to expand the capabilities of aircraft to carry additional and/or standoff weapons loads in different configurati...
