A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification
FY21 increased by $12M to maintain NIFC Increment 2 and for the design, testing and fielding of NIFC Increment 3; but was offset by an under execution adjustment of
$2.776M to account for the availability of prior year execution balances.
3159 Naval Integrated Fire Control (NIFC) Systems Engineering Integration and Test (SEI&T) project is a systems engineering effort to extend the Naval Integrated Air
and Missile Defense battlespace out to the maximum kinematic range of our weapons for the air, surface, and strike warfare missions. This includes targets beyond
the detection range of the shooter. The NIFC project exploits capabilities inherent in existing systems, optimizes current and emerging technologies in component
system upgrades, integrates them together, and performs kill chain tests, forming an interoperable System of Systems (SoS) to maximize future defense capabilities.
As directed by OPNAV, the project is focused on SEI&T efforts to integrate the From The Sea (FTS) family of kill chains which includes the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye,
Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC), AEGIS, and SM-6 missile along with other networks and sensors. Along with executing NIFC Inc 2 developmental test &
fielding the SEIT supports the design of the current kill chain and system configuration and architectures. Future NIFC efforts (e.g. NIFC Inc 3) includes SEIT activities
across a broad range of systems and architectures. The From the Air (FTA) family of kill chains consisting of surveillance platforms, tactical aircraft, data links, and air-
launched weapons. This PE will support efforts including system definition and architecture development, performance prediction, performance assessment, system test
and risk reduction efforts, system analysis, modeling and simulation, and capability demonstrations for the FTS and FTA families of kill chains. The project also facilitates
the development of the concept of operations with the warfighter to maximize effectiveness when deployed with the Fleet.
3242 Naval Integrated Fire Control (NIFC) From the Air (FTA) Systems Engineering Integration and Test (SEI&T) project is a new start for systems engineering effort to
integrate NIFC FTA capabilities within "Pillar Programs" (F/A-18 & EA-18G, E-2D, F-35, Link-16 and Tactical Targeting Network Technology Data Links, and AIM-120
and AIM-9X weapons). Based on the advancing threat, there remains an imperative to improve lethality, survivability and interoperability by extending the battlespace
out to the maximum kinematic range of our weapons for the air, surface, and strike warfare missions. The NIFC FTA project leverages capabilities inherent in existing
systems, optimizes current and emerging technologies in platform system upgrades, and integrates them together to form interoperable System of Systems (SoS) to
maximize offensive and defensive FTA integrated capabilities. As directed from OPNAV, the project is focused on development of Air Warfare, Surface Warfare, and
