TFPR 1 Task Force Paul Revere Briefer: Lt Col Terry Tichenor Office: ESC/SRC Ext: DSN Date: 19 May 2003

TFPR 2 Paul Revere in FY 03 Evaluate mission relationships and impact of Doctrine, CONOPS, Ops. Architecture and System Architecture on an MC2A-like platform

TFPR 3 Paul Revere - Purpose  Paul Revere (LL 707) is a C2 CONSTELLATION ASSET –Rapidly reconfigurable –C2C experimentation, concept demo, integration and assessment –Focus on demonstrating BM C2 and horizontal integration across C2C  Employ AT-AOC-like BMC2 functionality to execute Find, Fix, Track, Target, Engage, Assess (F2T2EA)  Demonstrate wideband LOS and BLOS comm  Uses modular/flexible/standard hardware/software – MC2A designers get results from experimentation

TFPR 4 Why ESC & N404PA?  MIT/LL is an FFRDC with an approved flight facility –US Government designated ESC as contract manager for MIT/LL property – includes GFR responsibility –ESC Commander designates GFR –ESC/SR has history of local flying operations –ESC/CX has rich lab (CEIF) environment  ESC/SR has execution oversight  ESC/CX has programmatic oversight

TFPR 5 N404PA History  Boeing B hangared at Hanscom Field, MA –Purchased in 1989 for $13.5M –Continuous flight test operations for 9 Years  Extensive modification for advanced technology test –$22M in structural modifications in 1992 –MIT/Lincoln Laboratory was prime integrator  Highly Experienced Test Team –Government and Laboratory flight test crew – 9+ years experience on this airplane  SECAF briefed on TFPR concept Oct 01  Funding & Empty Tube in Jan 02  Flew in JEFX 02 Spiral 3 & 4 (June & Aug 02)

TFPR 10 What We Learned (JEFX 02)  Horizontal Integration Key to This Effort –Teaming among contractors and operators “Blue Collar Systems Engineering” MIT Lincoln Laboratory

TFPR 11 What We Learned Operators Over 8 months of trust and teaming working through enormous details is priceless asset

TFPR 12 FY 2002 Lesson Learned  Doctrine – Multiple AOC Combat Ops –Execution of TCTs by two stand alone entities was not supported by existing AOC doctrine  CONOPS – Operational vs. Tactical –CONOPS development for JEFX 2002 showed challenge of transitioning between tactical and operational level of C2  Ops Architecture – Operators in the seat –Use of new AFSC’s, airborne functions, operational level execution in an airborne environment  MMI – KVM as level 1 horizontal integration –Disparate systems didn’t allow machine to machine interface, visual interface as first level MMI was insufficient for effective combat ops  System Architecture – Plug and Play –Open architecture allowed operators to move without changing system or interfaces  Systems - Ruggedization and persistence –Software will require additional “ruggedizing” for an airborne application (RF environment, single point nodes)

TFPR 13 PR FY03 Approach  Use Limited Objective Experiments (LOEs) –Mapped to JEFX04 Focus areas –LOE 1: Net Centric Infrastructure (NCI) –LOE 2: Predictive Battlespace Awareness (PBA) –LOE 3: Effects Based Operations (EBO)  Use both simulation/simulator (TACCSF) and live venues  Identify Min Ops & Assessment Crew for each LOE  Map “initiatives” into appropriate LOE

TFPR 14 EXPERIMENT OBJECTIVES OPERATOR Evaluation in the F2T2EA Crucible - What can you do? - What do you need to do? - What would you like to do? Desert Pivot SIMEX Flags and JEFX Performed in Realistic Environments Systems System Architecture MMI/ICD/API Ops Architecture CONOPS Doctrine Lessons learned captured across the full span of the MC2C hierarchy

TFPR 15 Task Force Paul Revere Summary  A small team focusing on real solutions for battle- management integration –Stress systems in real environments –Focused operations and operators –Risk reduction for future C2 integration  Tangible efforts leading to future capability –Doctrine and CONOPS for new ways to fight –Identify and correct system shortfalls as we use our C2ISR equipment in new ways –Rapidly create actionable information
