(U) A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification
Air Force Theater Missile Defense (TMD) is focused in three areas: Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (C4I) enhancements; Improvements to existing Attack Operations systems; and the development of the Airborne Laser. PE028060F is primarily concerned with C4I and Attack Operations as part of the Air Force focus in TMD, but also addresses some initial low-level studies and analysis for the Airborne Laser (ABL) technology program. AF TMD concentrates on defining improvements to existing operational capabilities, developing and evaluating prototypes, demonstrating as well as simulating modifications during operational concept demonstrations, and coordinating the transition of these capabilities to operational systems. C4I improvements contribute greatly to the overall effectiveness of TMD systems developed by each of the Services and the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization (Patriot, THAAD, etc.). C4I enhancements improve our ability to assess, target, plan and task attackers to counter Theater Missile (TM) threats. The C4I program encompasses JTIDS TMD Upgrades (including, for example, TMD Message Set Integration and JTIDS Range Extension), Distributed Battle Management, Operations Decision Tools (Time Critical Target Aid (TCTA), Defensive Planning Module (DPM), Attack Operations Decision Aid (AODA), and Active Defense Decision Aid (ADDA)), Intel Support Systems (Intel Support Concept and Real Time Intel Tools) and integration of these systems within the Air Force and among the Services. Attack Operations focuses on improving the ability to locate, identify, target and destroy theater missiles and supporting infrastructure on the ground. Attack Operations is concerned with the theater missile threat from production through deployment, prior to and during launch, as well as soon after launch before critical mobile targets are able to egress to hide locations. The foundation for Attack Operations is improved C4I and automatic target cueing/recognition (ATC/R) upgrades to one or more airborne platforms (Joint STARS, F-15E, Rivet Joint, U-2). The Air Force program is based upon taking our defense against the growing theater missile threat to the enemy by making near-term modifications to existing theater assets. The TMD program is concerned with improving existing operational capability, evaluating and demonstrating prototypes, as well as simulating modifications during operational concept demonstrations.
(U) Acquisition Strategy: HQ ASC will provide the program management for the concept exploration of TMD Attack Operations. ASC will conduct lab demonstrations with Wright Labs and support CONOPS development and requirements definition by analyzing and demonstrating measures of effectiveness for various sensor improvements and cueing schemes. HQ ESC will provide program management for the concept exploration of C4I enhancements. Prototypes and analysis of improvements to existing C4I assets will compliment the Attack Operations effort with combined participation in Operational Concept Demonstrations. These Attack Operations and BMC4I analyses and demonstrations are specifically targeted against operational deficiencies identified in the TMD Mission Area Plan (MAP), are traceable to the AF and JROC Mission Need Statement (MNS) and are consistent with the ACC TMD Concept of Operations (CONOPS). Integration of TMD requirements and fielding of proposed material solutions will continue beyond concept exploration in the appropriate program element for a particular system. For example, the TMD demonstration and requirements analysis for Joint STARS ATR may transition into a Joint STARS P3I effort within the Joint STARS program element. Existing contracts will be used for those systems where engineering change proposals are appropriate. Systems Engineering and Technical Analysis (SETA) contracts will be used to support the requirements definition phase of TMD improvements. In those areas where new materiel solutions are necessary to correct a deficiency, the source selection process will be followed to establish a new contract.
*FY94 TMD tasks were funded in PE27411F and PE63617F.

(U) A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification
C4I enhancements are needed to reduce the battle management and command & control timelines associated with the theater missile threat. The C4I program includes:
1) Operations and maintenance of the Tactical Air Command and Control Simulation Facility (TACCSF);
2) Procurement of four MCE/TPS-75 with expert missile tracker (EMT) capability;
3) Intel Support Systems which include the development and revision of the Intel Support Concept (ISC), automation of the country studies, and development of the Real Time Intel Tool for TMD IPB;
4) JTIDS TMD Upgrades which are the development and integration of TMD messages into JTIDS host platforms and the extension of JTIDS beyond line of sight;
5) Operations Decision Support Tools which include the integration of the Time Critical Target Aid into TBM Core Systems (TBMCS) architecture, the development and migration of the Defensive Planning Module into TBMCS, and initiating the development of the Attack Operations and Active Defense Decision Aids.
6) Distributed Battle Management (Airborne DBM prototype) concept, which enhances the forward execution capabilities of the TACS to counter the short timeline of time critical targets. This includes the development, integration and test of the DBM capability on an airborne platform. The program will leverage off the capabilities of the current ground Combat Integration Capability (CIC) program which integrates and fuses various intelligence and surveillance feeds to provide the CINCs with an effective battle management capability.

(U) A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification
Improvements in Attack Operations are based on the ability to locate, identify, and destroy theater missiles and associated infrastructure on the ground. In addition to the enhancements to C4I, Attack Operations project focuses on sensor capabilities and CONOPS and requirements development for TMD offensive counter-air and optimized integration with defensive systems. Automatic target cueing/recognition (ATC/R) upgrades to Joint STARS, F-15E, and potentially U-2, F-16 and UAVs are analyzed in demonstrations and simulation during Operational Concept Demonstrations and CINC experiments. A cost and operational effectiveness analysis of the Airborne Laser will be conducted in FY96, and its contribution to post-launch attack operations will be considered. The optimum set of sensor improvements will be proposed as P3I upgrades within existing program elements.
