A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification: Supports the tactical commander's intelligence requirements for contingency force development and deep battle targeting as stated in Field Manual 100-5. Specific developments are managed within the Army's Tactical Exploitation of National Capabilities (TENCAP) program. The scope of the program is to leverage specific data and capabilities available from existing and emerging national and selected theater capabilities that meet stated Army tactical intelligence information and targeting needs. This project supports the advanced development/enhancement of the Electronic Tactical User Terminal (ETUT), Mobile Integrated Tactical Terminal (MITT), Forward Area Support Terminal (FAST), Tactical Exploitation System (TES), and Advanced Electronic Processing and Dissemination System (AEPDS). The Army's emerging TES will incorporate the standards and protocols dictated by the Common Imagery Ground Surface System (CIGSS) program. TES brings all of the existing and emerging Army TENCAP capabilities [AEPDS, Modernized Imagery Exploitation System (MIES), and Enhanced Tactical Radar Correlator (ETRAC)] into an integrated common baseline; downsized modular and scaleable to meet a wide range of contingency requirements. TENCAP Common Baseline addresses common subsystems, planned improvements, key activities and ongoing/planned initiatives determined to have potential application to multiple TENCAP systems, including MIES and ETRAC that are funded under the Defense Airborne Reconnaissance Program (DARP) (PE 0305154D). Specific details are provided in the Tactical Intelligence and Related Activities (TIARA) Congressional Justification Book, Volume II, and in the Army TENCAP Master Plan. This Program Element (PE) focuses on efforts associated with advanced technology development used to demonstrate general military utility to include demonstration and validation in the area of TENCAP and is correctly placed in Budget Activity 4.
Acquisition Strategy: The Army Space Program Office (ASPO) strives for an acquisition environment emphasizing stable funding, low density acquisition, minimal use of MILSPECS, and managed competition. By tailoring existing technology, leveraging the best commercial practices, and using commercial and government off the shelf software, ASPO minimizes risk while maximizing efficiency. Strong user involvement, a robust operations and maintenance program and a vigorous technology insertion effort ensure programmatic success. Finally, dedicated cradle to grave Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) for TENCAP systems is accomplished through a coordinated effort by government and contractor personnel and facilities.
