A. (U) MISSION DESCRIPTION AND BUDGET ITEM JUSTIFICATION: This program focuses science and technology resources in the areas of Precision Strike and Air Superiority/Defense in support of the Joint Chiefs of Staff's (JCS's) top five Joint Warfighting Capabilities and the following Joint Mission Areas (JMAs): Joint Strike, Joint Littoral Warfare, Joint Surveillance, Strategic Deterrence and Strategic Sealift/Protection.

(U) The Global Surveillance and Communications area, transferred to Program Element (PE) 0603794N for FY 1995, developed and demonstrated the capability to provide the tactical user with theater of operations, near-real-time precision targeting information, sensor-to-shooter target updating, and Battle Damage Assessment generated from multiple existing high-altitude resources supporting all the referenced Joint Mission Areas with primary applicability to Joint Surveillance and Joint Littoral Warfare Mission Areas.

(U) Precision Strike integrates surveillance and targeting capabilities developed in the Global Surveillance area with high-speed processing and precision weapons for rapid response against high-value, short-dwell targets over extended ranges. The Navy Tactical Missile System provided a demonstration launch of a Navy variant of the Army Tactical Missile System from a ship in support of the Navy's Surface Fire Support mission.

(U) The Air Superiority and Defense area develops and demonstrates all-weather, day/night engagement capabilities against manned aircraft, cruise missiles (including supersonic sea-skimmers), helicopters and tactical ballistic missiles that will be employing stealth and countermeasures. The Cruise Missile Defense (CMD) Advanced Technology effort includes: 1) an Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration (ACTD), Phase I, which demonstrates that an AEGIS ship (or other surface based missile launch platform) using one or more surrogate airborne sensor partners can provide greatly expanded air defense capabilities leading to a robust capability against overland cruise missiles beyond surface based radar line-of-sight; 2) and a CMD Phase II that accelerates and aligns E-2C Airborne Early Warning (AEW) aircraft and Standard Missile (SM-2) programs toward a fielded CMD capability and balances performance, cost, schedule and risk across multiple technology programs; and initiates advanced missile technology efforts to develop and demonstrate engagement capabilities against next generation overland cruise missiles. The Airship Demonstration assesses the potential contribution that airships could make to the airborne component of the ship self defense/cooperative engagement capability, over-the-horizon targeting and surveillance, and other relevant mission areas. Supporting the Strategic Deterrence and Strategic Sealift/Protection JMAs, the Mobile Offshore Base Project will demonstrate the feasibility of a forward positioned Strike Platform in geographical areas where surrounding non-aligned countries desire to maintain their sovereignty.

Beginning in FY 96, the PE will be divided into two projects, Cruise Missile Defense (R2145) and Mobile Offshore Base (R2266). These two projects were both previously tasks funded within project 2145.

(U) Cruise Missile Defense: This is a continuation of a program initiated in FY 94. The Cruise Missile Defense AdvancedTechnology effort includes: 1) an ACTD, Phase I, which demonstrates that an AEGIS ship (or other surface based missile launch platform) using one or more surrogate airborne sensor partners can provide greatly expanded air defense capabilities leading to a robust capability against overland cruise missiles beyond surface based radar line-of-sight; 2) and a CMD Phase II that accelerates and aligns E-2C AEW aircraft and Standard Missile (SM-2) programs toward a fielded CMD capability and balances performance, cost, schedule and risk across multiple technology programs; and initiates advanced missile technology efforts to develop and demonstrate engagement capabilities against next generation overland cruise missiles.

(U) Mobile Offshore Base (MOB): New project starting in FY 96 to develop a MOB concept to provide a means by which a long-term U.S. presence can be maintained. Technology issues associated with both semi-submersible and mono-hull modules connected into platforms between 1000 and 3000 meters in length will be explored. Technical challenges include mobility to get on station, as well as sea keeping and stability to support cargo transfer.

(U) JUSTIFICATION FOR BUDGET ACTIVITY: This program is budgeted within the ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT Budget Activity because it encompasses design, development, simulation, or experimental testing or prototype hardware to validate technological feasibility and concept of operations and reduce technological risk prior to initiation of a new acquisition program or transition to an ongoing acquisition program.

(U) Funding: FY 1995 reduction reflects a combination of (-$1,500) due to a Congressional S&T rescission and a minor increase in program requirements (+995). Funding level decrease in FY 1996 reflects Program Review decision to split the PE into two projects: (-$13,500) moves to MOB stand alone project R2266; undistributed Congressional reductions (-$1,326); revised DoD inflation estimates (-$701). FY 1997 changes reflect: revised DoD inflation estimates (-$1,400); minor repricing adjustments (-$639); a transfer to Mobile Offshore Base (MOB)(-$9,731) and a reduction based on program realignment (-$11,381).
