CLASSIFICATION (When filled in): UNCLASSIFIED

The main objective of this effort is to modernize and align Naval Command and Control for Integrated Joint/Coalition Fires and make it deployable to afloat and ashore sites such as the Carrier Strike Groups (CSG) to include CRUDES/DDGs and Carrier Airwing assets, Expeditionary Strike Group (ESG), Marine Corps NMESIS, Army HIMARS, Airforce assets, Coalition Forces, Tactical Fleet Command Centers (TFCC), Operational Command Post (OCP) and the Maritime Operations Centers (MOC). This effort will enhance the warfighters decision-making and information gathering effectiveness by integrating and taking advantage of Machine Learning/ Artificial Intelligence (ML/AI) approaches. The intent is to mature / modernize the technologies, increase their Technology Readiness Level (TRL) and prepare them for transition to a number of possible Programs of Record (PoR). This effort will include providing prototype validation, research and development, software development, implementation, test and verification for advanced C2 techno1ogies. Specifically, this effort will provide development of software products utilizing microservices, containers, service mesh, and kubernetes previously explored under the C2X project for use in command and control environment. The development work will include the design and implementation of container-based software, research and performance characterization of C2 application functionality, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Operations Research (AI/ML/OR), capturing and validating user stories, workflows, applying cybersecurity best practices, utilizing a DEVSECOPS pipeline, and related Navy Mission Essential Tasks, and development of associated technical documentation.
