Editor's Notes
- Alt- operational agility
- Blue baseline for FY17= $120.4- non blue is $34.2 Need key takeaway tying into theme
- Enable communications between 5th and 4th gen assets ACC is lead command customer The 5th to 4th Gen Gateway is intended to provide a communications pathway between 5th generation fighter aircraft (F-22s and F-35s), and 4th generation aircraft equipped with Link-16. The gateway will be hosted on an F-15C to exchange data to support cooperative tactics while operating in contested airspace. Mr. David Desforges, AFLCMC/HNAG, (781) 225-4123 Provides 5th Gen fighter tactical picture currently inaccessible to 4th Gen aircraft for increased SA •IFDL to Link 16 (F-15C relay from F-22) •MADL to Link 16 (F-15C relay from F-35) Exploits the strengths of both 5th Gen and 4th Gen forces and facilitates a synergistic combat capability for sustained air dominance •Shortens Kill Chain through digital machine-to-machine cooperative engagement •Reduces fratricide, increases probability of kills, increases situational awareness and allows efficient weapons expenditures •Enables sharing of 5th Gen combat identification capability to gain tactical advantage The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, Space, Aerial & Nuclear Networks Division (AFLCMC/HNAG) is seeking qualified sources with whom to engage in cost and capability discussions in planning for the development of an Inc II to the 5th to 4th Generation Fighter Gateway; this second increment would include a multi-domain adaptable processing capability for gateway operations The prospective Inc II of the 5th to 4th Gen Gateway must provide 3 primary capabilities beyond the first increment: -An Infra-Red Search and Track (IRST) sensor, which serves as an alternative to the host platform radar, to search for and track airborne targets -Beyond Line of Sight (BLOS) access to National data service providers -A Multi-Level Security (MLS) track correlation and data fusion processor, connected to multiple data domains, to create an advantaged Common Tactical Picture (CTP). Increment II must use an IRST sensor. The developer must also develop a means for maintaining Satellite Communications (SATCOM) in a dynamics air environment. Finally, using information gather from IFDL, MADL, on-board IRST, National Technical Means (NTM), and Link-16, the developer must be able to create a MLS CTP to share through Link-16. Capability to provide and support hardware, software, tools and capability for integration, troubleshooting, data collection and debug via a ‘development kit’ of the radio Demonstrated capability for components to perform and interface in an Open Mission System (OMS) infrastructure Demonstrated an ability to fuse and correlate data from multiple domains into a single CTP https://iq.govwin.com/neo/opportunity/view/136806 There is a growing capability in the U. S. Air Force for 5th generation to 4th generation (5th to 4th) data transfer and interoperability. This capability allows sharing of 5th generation Situational Awareness (SA) and tactical targeting data through use of ‘gateway’ terminals which interoperate over the 5th generation data links (F-22 Intraflight Data Link – IFDL; F-35 Multifunction Advanced Datalink – MADL). This shared data can then be disseminated over standard Link 16 networks to allow sharing to 4th generation aircraft. As this capability moves towards fielding, there is a need for laboratory and open air test capability to validate the interoperability of the 5th generation data link, as well as interoperability over the Link 16 network to the 4th generation aircraft and Command and Control (C2) assets. The 46th Test Squadron (46 TS) at Eglin Air Force Base has an existing, demonstrable capability for evaluating 4th generation datalinks (Link 16/Situational Awareness Data Link (SADL)/Variable Message Format (VMF) through use of their Operational Facilities (OPFACs). The Air Force requires a 5th generation surrogate and stimulator to enhance the current OPFAC capability, enabling them to fully validate any 5th to 4th gateway, ensure interoperability on both ends of that link, and to analyze the communications.

With the upgrades expected to be operational with the new version by the end of this CY- while space fence wont reach IOC until 2019 (will detect smaller sensors) information sharing between the two systems will be criticial to SSA- also looking to tie in more intel agency information (Joint Interagency Coalition Space Op Center) Currently draws data from the Space Surveillance Network (SSN), which is a network of 30 space surveillance sensors- taking in data across classified, UCALL, etc levels heavy tie in with STRATCOM Intelligence Software Sol is handling the infrastructure piece (14M contract) JSpOC: Provides “knowledge environment” for decision making by JFCC SPACE (Joint Functional Component Command)- looks at orbiting debris and other threats- collision warning to satellite operators- think of it as traffic management center Located at Vandenburg- this ties into Space Fence program (also tracks debris)- infrastructure upgrades will help them handle all the additional data they’re anticipating from it- and this will give a more complete space picture.
