The vertical scale does not start at zero: the baseline sits just below this program’s smallest year, so a low point on this line is not a small amount. Read the shape for direction and the grid below for the figures.

Description

Mission Tactical Intel Targeting Access Node (TITAN) EMD

The Tactical Intelligence Targeting Access Node (TITAN) is a key enabler of the Army Modernization Priorities in support of Army Cross Functional Teams. TITAN is a scalable and expeditionary intelligence ground station that supports commanders across the entire Multi-Domain Operations (MDO)/Joint All Domain Operations (JADO) battlefield framework with capabilities tailored to echelon. TITAN leverages Space, High Altitude, Aerial and Terrestrial layer sensors to provide targetable data to fires networks as well as multi-discipline intelligence support to targeting and Situation Awareness/Situation Understanding (SA/SU) in support of mission command. TITAN will support Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) tools through Project Linchpin and other government sources and leverage Critical Radio Frequency (RF) technologies as they become available. TITAN is the Army Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) ground station that consolidates the sensor processing capabilities in the current Distributed Common Ground System-Army (DCGS-A) Operational-Intelligence Ground Station (OGS), Tactical-Intelligence Ground Station (TGS), the Advanced Miniaturized Data Acquisition System Dissemination Vehicle (ADV) and the Remote Ground Terminal (RGT). Additionally, TITAN will access sensor data of Tactical Space Layer assets, National assets, the Multi-Domain Sensing Systems (MDSS) as well as commercial overhead sensors. Consequently, the TITAN ground station conducts deep sensing operations with the abilities to Task, Collect, Process, Exploit, and Disseminate (TCPED) information from Space, High Altitude, Aerial, and Terrestrial Layer sensors in support of Long Range Precision Fires (LRPF) operations. The FY 2026 cost of the Titan Intelligence Targeting Access Node (TITAN) Middle Tier of Acquisition effort is $23.7 million, including RDT&E and procurement of prototype units. The Department will certify FYDP funding in a future budget submission.

Mission Tactical Intelligence Targeting Access Node EMD

TITAN directly addresses the U.S. Army Combined Arms Center's (USACAC) Multi-Domain Operations (MDO) gap #1: Lack of echelons above corps (EAC) multi-domain deep sensing, analysis, and processing, exploitation and dissemination (PED) for indications & warning (I&W) and anti-access/area denial (A2/AD) targeting. Furthermore, TITAN indirectly addresses MDO Gap 2: No theater detect, decide, deliver, assess (D3A) and convergence of Long Range Precision Fires (LRPF) to disintegrate A2/AD and MDO Gap #3: Lack of EAC LRPF capacity to disintegrate A2/AD and shape the deep fight. TITAN supports these MDO gaps by providing the sensor data receipt and control, analysis, exploitation, and dissemination functions needed to enable LRPF. The FY26 RDTE Dollars in the amount of $44.273M will fund the completion of Development, Integration, and Testing of production-representative TITAN prototype systems. Funding will integrate high altitude, aerial and terrestrial sensor data feeds. Funding will integrate TENCAP-developed Space-Ground Component Kit (SGCK). Resources fund updates, integration, accreditation, & testing of new capabilities resulting from new sensor feeds and emerging technologies. Support includes Developmental and Soldier touchpoints to test-fix-test capabilities. Funding will also support initiation/execution of the Software Acquisition Pathway (SWP) and the continued development of the TITAN SW Baseline. The FY 2026 cost of the Titan Intelligence Targeting Access Node (TITAN) Middle Tier of Acquisition effort is $23.7 million, including RDT&E and procurement of prototype units. The Department will certify FYDP funding in a future budget submission.

Justification

Accomplishments & Planned Programs (8)

Project Management

Funds needed to execute system development and integration activities, deliver acquisition and logistics documentation, perform system cyber security, accreditation and Human Systems Integration (HSI) efforts.

System Development and Integration

Funds development and integration activities of production-representative TITAN prototype systems. Integrates system SW baseline and HW system architecture and interfaces. Integrates high altitude, aerial and terrestrial data feeds onto TITAN platform. Integration of TENCAP's SGCK to allow access to commercial, National and Tactical Space Layer capabilities.

Test Activities

Supports Developmental and Operational Testing activities for production-representative TITAN prototype systems in support of system production decision. Funds all T&E events required by Army Test Community, including multiple soldier touch points.

TITAN Advanced - Prototype

Funds hardware and software associated with the development of the Advanced TITAN Variant throughout the Prototype Maturation Phase.

TITAN Basic - Prototype

Funds hardware and software associated the development of Basic TITAN Variants throughout the Prototype Maturation Phase.

Support to Initial Prototypes

Funds support requirements and activities associated with TITAN prototypes during Rapid Prototyping to included New Equipment Training, SW Licensing, initial prototype spares and repair parts, contractor logistics support, etc.

Development and Prototyping of Artificial Intelligence/ Machine Learning Operations Platform

Fund initial establishment of secure and trusted MLOPS environment for rapid and continuous delivery of AI/ML models optimized to work on various configurations. Fund maturation of existing technology that needs minor enhancements to meet Army needs. This includes AI/ML algorithms that will transition to TITAN from various programs across the DoD and IC and need to be tuned for Army use cases.

Software Development and Deployment

Funds the rapid development, deployment, and insertion of upgrades and improvement to TITAN specific software.
