B. (U) BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF MISSION REQUIREMENT AND SYSTEM CAPABILITIES:
(U) This effort provides support and technologies required for advanced Command, Control and
Communication (C3) concepts through short term demonstrations and integration with other sensor and
interceptor technology programs. There are several projects supported by this PMA. The first supports
the development of missile tracking software for PAVE PAWS and BMEWS early warning radars. Radar track
correlation and cueing techniques will be matured. Other sensors, such as the Miniature Sensor
Technology Integration (MSTI) satellite, or prototype command nodes may be included with operational
sensors. Satellite based inflight target updates will be investigated and demonstrated with experimental
interceptor testbeds. This may allow very large areas to be defended by theater weapons.
(U) This project is assigned to the Budget Activity and Program Element codes as identified in this
descriptive summary in accordance with existing Department of Defense policy. Further justification of
the Budget Activity code assigned to each Program Element is contained within the Brief Description of
Element section of each Program Element Summary.

E. (U) COMPARISON WITH FY 1994 DESCRIPTIVE SUMMARY:
1. TECHNICAL CHANGES: New BMC3 demonstrations are planned based upon FY93 successes.
2. SCHEDULE CHANGES: Major demonstrations postponed until FY95 to cnserve current funds. New FY95 demonstrations support evolving Technology Readiness Program.
3. COST CHANGES: Additional ($2.5M) funds secured for FY95 experiments.
F. (U) PROGRAM DOCUMENTATION: Final Monthly Technical Status Reports.
G. (U) RELATED ACTIVITIES: This program supports and is coordinated with developing sensor and
interceptor technologies, as well as systems BMC3 concepts.
