Threat Environments Defined Permissive Contested Denied

Permissive Many missions normally conducted under these conditions Robust commercial communications and networking infrastructure normally exists Forces able to network with freedom of action Threats do exist… such as RF interception and viruses Forces able to provide fully sufficient comms paths

Contested Escalate… the environment becomes contested Forces face more specific threats to networking, SATCOM and RF jamming Forces can expect to leverage the military-specific infrastructure that exists including MILSATCOM, dedicated networks, encryption, and anti-jam capabilities Forces begin to suffer from intermittent degradations to SATCOM & RF links GPS signals interrupted momentarily, but there is no significant degradation to precision navigation Despite the growing threat, Forces still able to provide at least one comms path for most information requirements

Denied Further Escalation…the environment becomes denied Forces lose both commercial and military-specific networking infrastructure due to adversary action SATCOM links and GPS reception are lost…RF links are severely degraded Forces unable to provide at least one comms path for most information requirements…and have lost GPS precision navigation capabilities How will the scenario play out with the use and introduction of unmanned systems and the integration with manned systems?

DoD Initiative to achieve “More Without More” was successful Unmanned systems operations integrated into commercial space, freedom of navigation and airspace Commercially fielded unmanned systems, in all operational domains, out- number fielded military unmanned systems US DoD still world leader in unmanned systems investments (S&T, R&D, proc.) Nx-Generation unmanned systems operational in all domains Highly autonomous and interoperable unmanned and manned systems Manned and unmanned platforms have greater capabilities and capacity Manned/unmanned teaming enables highly effective synchronous and asynchronous operations worldwide More unmanned platforms, fewer manned platforms fielded Communications Architecture that enables: – Command-and-Control at machine speed and machine-to-machine speed – Man-on-the-loop and man-in-the-loop – Self healing Layered Network that is not space dependent Blue Team 2025 Framework Statements

U.S. Department of Defense Budget DoD Initiative “More Without More” Achieved

U.S. Department of Defense Def Sec Gates’ Achieved Budget Efficiencies Beyond 5-yrs More Unmanned Platforms and Fewer Manned Platforms in 2025

Supply Support  FY10 Conducting Performance Based Logistics (PBL) Business Case Analysis (BCA)  Combination of organic and contractor supply support  PBL opportunities based on commonality between platforms Training and Training Su pport  Courseware  Devices (crew & operator)  Modeling and Simulation Computer Resources Support Packaging, Handling, Storage & Transportation (PHS&T)  Continue to assess based on commonality across the platforms Support Equipment  Evaluating opportunities based on commonality of components & basing locations Facilities  CONUS:  Evaluating potential for common maintenance hub  OCONUS:  EUCOM –  CENTCOM –  PACOM – U.S. Department of Defense Budget Much More Than Hardware Manpower and Personnel  Operators to be capable of conducting operations with other services  Ability to perform mutually supportive maintenance based on service specific requirements and basing/maintenance locations Computers & Semi-Conductors Enabled “More Without More”- not Platforms Technical Data  Configuration Management  Open Architecture Systems Integration  New Technology Insertion Science & Technology Design & Interface Maintenance Planning  Evaluating common I-Level and D-Level opportunities  Leveraging UAS PHM

Cleared for Open Publication 11-S-1201 DoD UAS Flight Hours (By Department, By Fiscal Year) Flight Hours As of December 31, 2010 Number of Fielded UAS and Flight Hours Continued Near-exponential Growth. Other Unmanned Systems Domains Experience Similar Growth.

Moore’s Law Enables 2025 Highly Autonomous Unmanned Systems Only Imagined Possible During 2011 Moore’s Law

Metcalfe’s Law Enabled 2025 Layered Networks and Communications Architecture for Command and Control to Operate at Machine Speed and Machine-to-Machine Speed Metcalfe’s Law

Moore’s and Metcalfe’s Laws Enable DoD to Progress Beyond 2011 Stovepipe and Bandwidth Constrained Operations DoD’s Current State Approach to Coordinated Operations

Networked Battle Space of 2025, all Operational Domains, Manned and Unmanned, Command and Control at Machine Speed, Self Healing, Man-on-the-loop and not Space Dependent Networked Battlespace Provide the Warfighter Higher Level of Interoperability and Capability
