(U) A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification : This program is designed to rapidly transition development efforts in the science and technology base directly to warfighting commands. Projects are directly responsive to operational requirements for improved battle management, communications, theater missile defense, and surveillance capability. Takes advantage of advanced technology developments throughout the services and industry as well as off-the-shelf technology. This research is in Category 4, Demonstration and Validation. Its products are primarily advanced development models, rapid prototype efforts, and software developed through evolutionary acquisition methods. The program also defines system architectures and develops communications technology for modernization and improving the Air Force portion of the Tri-Service communications networks which the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) oversees. Beginning in FY 1994, the Tactical Air Information Production and Distribution project has included funding and tasks from PE 0303126F, Long Haul Communications, including the Secure Survivable Communications Network (SSCN).

(U) A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification : Field automated decision support systems for the Air Operations Center (AOC). Initial capability was the Advanced Planning System (APS) decision aid. APS supplies combat planners with an automated capability to pull together the information on resources, weaponeering options, and the current battle situation that will reduce time to generate the Air Tasking Order (ATO) by a factor of ten. Current development focus is the Force Level Execution (FLEX) system in support of the Combat Operations Division of the AOC. FLEX will provide automated execution management and control of operations.
