On July 31, the U.S. Navy posted the request for proposals (RFP) for the Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance, and Targeting (ISR&T) Follow-On acquisition. Responses are due by 11:00 a.m. Pacific on August 22.
The Mission Engineering and Analysis (ME&A) Department (D580000) of the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWD) supports Department of Defense (DoD) and Intelligence Community (IC) Agencies and Programs by providing Research, Development, Testing and Evaluation (RDT&E) technical assistance to current/future ISR&T systems.
The range of Department ISR&T assistance extends from Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) evaluation and initial engineering design, through operational deployment of systems which is provided in context to enabling the development and employment of current/emerging Navy/Joint all domain warfare weapon systems. The Department serves as a focal point for defining system requirements, system design and integration plans, prototype systems development, and Testing and Evaluation for Programs and/or Agencies that field systems or components that support or derive ISR&T products.
The context of ISR&T DoD and IC sponsored RDT&E efforts focus on Joint All Domain Warfare Operations as aligned to the Joint All Domain Command Control (JADC2) vision. Primary emphasis is placed on Joint/Navy War at Sea (JWAS) Distributed Maritime Operations (DMO) offensive Over the Horizon (OTH) Information Warfare (IW), maritime Anti-Surface Warfare (ASuW) and land Strike Warfare (STW) deliberate & dynamic targeting operations involving National & Theater Overhead Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) and long-range weapon systems. Secondary emphasis is placed on Tactical/Organic Intelligence, Surveillance, and ISR, direct targeting operations and other Warfare Areas (e.g. Air Warfare, Anti-Submarine Warfare, Mine Warfare, Air & Missile Defense).
ISR&T efforts focus on enabling multi-echelon “Intel & Ops” Integrated Kill Chain operations working across DoD, IC and Special Access multi-level security operations. This involves the synchronization of Intelligence Tasking Collection, Processing, Exploitation Dissemination (TCPED) with Operations Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence (C4I) platform-weapon Operations Find, Fix, Track, Target, Engage, Assess (F2T2EA) engagement cycles. This includes ISR&T systems encompassing Imagery, Signals, Electronic, Communications, Measurement & Signals, Human, Moving, Full Motion Video, Open-Source Intelligence (IMINT, SIGINT, ELINT, COMINT, MASINT, HUMINT, MOVINT, FMV, OS) or other capabilities.
This further includes Operational & Tactical Level of War (OLW-TLW) Command, Control, Communications, and Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance (C4ISR) Battle Management Aids (BMAs) for Combined Effects based targeting Course of Action (COA) decision-making in the planning and execution of mixed: air-surface-subsurface launched homogeneous & heterogeneous, kinetic & non/kinetic, cooperative & collaborative, autonomous & semi/autonomous, subsonic-supersonic-hypersonic and, standard & Net Enabled Weapons (NEWs).
