Description
Description — Intelligence Support Equipment
This budget line item includes Military Intelligence Program (MIP) funds for Marine Corps Intelligence capabilities necessary to support the employment of intelligence, reconnaissance, surveillance (ISR), and target acquisition resources integral to delivering decision advantage at the speed of operational relevance outlined in the 2022 National Defense Strategy and integral to Force Design 2030. This equipment will be employed inside the weapons engagement zone (WEZ) and will support the warfighter in populating the kill-web and shortening the kill-chain process. This capability involves sensing the operational environment through a variety of systems, from satellites overhead to reconnaissance Marines on the ground, and providing that information to Marine Corps Intelligence Commanders, Joint Intelligence Centers, and to Five Eyes (FVEY) partners for use in operational planning. COMMUNICATION EMITTER SENSING and ATTACKING SYSTEM (CESAS): This is a high-power ground electronic attack (EA) system which disrupts, denies, and degrades enemy communications in support of reconnaissance/counter-reconnaissance (RXR) and infantry maneuver. CESAS supports Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) by contributing sensor data to joint Electromagnetic Battle Management (EMBM) systems to provide decision advantage to commanders. CESAS is employed by trained operators from the Marine Radio Battalions and Marine Forces Special Operations Command (MARFORSOC) to sense and make sense of the electromagnetic spectrum and provide non-kinetic fires tailored to support infantry and maneuver elements. CESAS provides sensing and attacking in the high frequency (HF), very high frequency (VHF), and ultra-high frequency (UHF) ranges against enemy emitters with modern modulation schemes. An increase to the CESAS II Family of Systems (FoS) Authorized Acquisition Objective (AAO) in support of Force Design 2030 initiatives equips SIEW Teams to the infantry battalion, Radio Reconnaissance Teams (RRTs), Light Armored Vehicle - Electronic Warfare (LAV-EW), MARFORSOC operators, and the Supporting Establishment with modern electronic warfare (EW) systems capable of countering peer threat emitters. CESAS II FoS uses an incremental acquisition strategy, incorporating the Enhanced EW phased approach to integrating new capabilities to maintain pace with adversaries. Spectrum Services Framework (SSF) comprises a suite of services and applications that are hosted on Marine Corps Enterprise Network (MCEN)-Secret Internet Protocol Router (SIPR) (MCEN-S) infrastructure operating at the Secret level. SSF is a software-only, hardware agnostic, agile development program that uses a Services Oriented Architecture (SOA) framework that functions across internet protocol for the purposes of enabling Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations (EMSO) users the tools necessary to perform their mission. SSF supports ingestion, management, and dissemination of spectrum dependent system data while providing analytic and visualization services for Command and Control (C2) of EMSO. SSF currently ingests and correlates Electromagnetic Spectrum (EMS) data from national level databases and is prioritizing development efforts to integrate with organic Marine Corps sensor platforms. INTEGRATED BROADCAST RADIO (IBR): IBR is a tactical terminal that provides direct, over-the-air access to the Integrated Broadcast Service (IBS) and receive and process near-real time (NRT) multi-intelligence data from strategic, theater, and tactical sensors to include: signals intelligence information, target tracks, Theater Ballistic Missile Defense indications and warnings, and other situational awareness data. IBR supports Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations and Distributed Operations concepts by providing battlespace awareness to commanders at the tactical level via resilient communications pathways designed for disadvantaged or denied users, including intelligence and operations personnel, Marine Corps Infantry, long-range fires weapon systems, and aviation platforms. Marine Corps IBR terminals are employed at all echelons with the MAGTF. Marine Corps IBR tactical terminals conform to the Department of Defense (DoD) objectives of interoperability and commonality to receive and process multi-intelligence data. Able to operate in a receive-only mode for critical emissions control, IBR tactical terminals provide the Marine Corps with low-signature and affordable capabilities that enhance joint and international interoperability, increase maritime domain awareness, and enable a range of operations in the fast paced, widely dispersed, peer-threat operating environment. The U.S. Air Force is the executive agent (EA) for IBS, directing a multiservice and international Architecture designed to keep pace with commanders' targeting and information requirements identified in the Joint Requirements Oversight Counsel (JROC) approved IBS Enterprise Information Systems - Capability Development Document (IS-CDD). Current IBR tactical terminals include the Embedded National Tactical Receiver (ENTR) version 2 (V2) and the ENTR version 4 (V4), which provide connectivity to the IBS Common Interactive Broadcast and IBS Alternative Path via UHF satellite communications (SATCOM) channels. Future plans include EA mandated modernization requirements, including new standards for Primary, Alternate, Contingency, and Emergency (PACE) plan. TACTICAL SIGNALS INTELLIGENCE (SIGINT) COLLECTION SYSTEM (TSCS): TSCS is the primary program of record for the USMC SIGINT/EW community to provide maritime and all domain awareness to the Stand in Force and Joint Force. TSCS provides modular, lightweight, and team portable/body worn systems and components that provide signals intercept, collection, direction-finding (DF) precision geo-location, reporting, and collection management capability in the Marine Air-Ground Task Force (MAGTF). TSCS is employed by trained operators from the Marine Radio Battalions and Marine Forces Special Operations Command (MARFORSOC) to sense and make sense of the electromagnetic spectrum. TSCS contributes to the MAGTF's Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) capability, enables Electronic Warfare (EW), and lethal strike capabilities; and provides the disruptive and less-lethal capabilities appropriate for countering malign activity by actors pursuing maritime "gray zone" strategies. These capabilities enable Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations (EABO) by supporting operations to both locate and target advanced adversary communications technology. The TSCS Family of Systems (FoS) incorporates the Radio Reconnaissance Equipment Program (RREP) and Team Portable Collection Systems - Multi-Platform Capable (TPCS-MPC) programs into a single program, providing a modular and scalable suite of equipment that exploits information from more technically advanced target sets. Platform Integration Kits (PIK) allow Marines to utilize equipment from the TSCS FoS, on USMC tactical vehicles and the MV-22 to provide Precision Geolocation (PGL) capability which enables Marines to locate specific signal emitters with much higher levels of accuracy and enables precision targeting. The TSCS FoS has an incremental acquisition strategy, providing technical refresh for legacy TPCS-MPC and RREP systems as the systems become obsolete and/or require technology insertions to maintain pace with our adversaries. The prioritization of capabilities included in each increment is based on obsolescence and required capability upgrades against advanced target sets. Fluctuations within the funding profile are due to the refresh of different components each year. MARINE CORPS SENSITIVE COMPARTMENTED INFORMATION NETWORK (SCINet): is the Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI) portion of the Defense Information System Network and Intelligence Community (IC) Information Technology (IT) Enterprises. SCINet uses advanced networking technologies and associated end user devices that permit point-to-point or multi-point information exchange involving voice, text, graphics, data, and video teleconferencing using various transport technologies. The program enables Marine Corps intelligence to access national intelligence data, services and assets in support of current and future operations in both garrison and tactical environments (ashore and afloat). The end user equipment consists of garrison desktop, tactical laptops, garrison room-based, desktop and expeditionary video teleconference (VTC) equipment, COMSEC encryption devices for garrison sites, routing/switching premise and back-end garrison connections, local and expeditionary servers, cyber security tools, baseline user workstation software and 24/7 Enterprise operations support. SCINet also provides an SCI platform for data exchange of timely, current, and actionable intelligence from other services and agencies in support of Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance, and Targeting as well as maneuver and fires capabilities at all echelons. Connectivity through both SCINet and NSANet significantly enhance the detail, timeliness, and quality of intelligence support that intelligence organizations provide to Marine operating forces. SENSITIVE COMPARTMENTED INFORMATION (SCI) COMMUNICATIONS (SCI Comms): is a multi-band beyond line of sight and long-haul communications and networking Family of Systems (FoS), that provides a tactical communications capability at the Top Secret (TS)/SCI level to USMC units in support of Intelligence Operations. The SCI Comms FoS is the only deployable communications and networking system that is dedicated for TS/SCI data, video and voice communications that can receive and transmit bulk data and imagery products to and from national and tactical intelligence sources. It supports Intelligence Operations by enabling a resilient, federated system of networks to ensure all elements can fight in a degraded command and control environment. The FoS consists of palletized, and team level, man-packable systems - High Bandwidth Special Intelligence-Palletized Terminal (HBSI-PT), and SCI Comms Mobility Pack (SCI Comms MP) - which provide USMC tactical commanders with high-capacity, near-real-time access to intelligence from national agencies, joint intelligence centers, coalition service activities, intelligence producers, and other tactical units via connectivity to Sensitive Compartmented Information Network (SCI Net), and National Security Agency (NSA) Network. SCI Comms is employed at multiple levels, to include at the Infantry Battalions for SI/EW operations, as an expeditionary fly-away capability for crisis response and humanitarian and disaster relief, and in support of MAGTF intelligence support to MSE, MEF and MARFOR commanders. SCI Comms coordinates with other Marine Corps C4ISR programs of record to leverage existing capabilities in support of SCI Communications requirements in accordance with NSA and DIA directives. SCI Comms continues to expand communications transport options to provide additional layers of resiliency and redundancy. TERRESTRIAL COLLECTION SYSTEM (TCS): provides a tactical sensor Family of Systems (FoS) to enable near-real time persistent intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance to the Marine Corps and Joint Community. Marine Corps Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations provide Stand-In-Forces placement and access inside an enemy's weapon engagement zone for the emplacement of a network of collection systems that enhance the situational awareness of naval and joint forces operating in the littorals and the wider maritime domain. The Terrestrial Collection System (TCS) FoS equips Intelligence Battalions, Reconnaissance Battalions, Marine Littoral Regiments (MLRs), and Littoral Combat Teams (LCTs) with a network of unattended ground and maritime sensors to enhance Ground and Maritime Domain Awareness and support Recon/Counter-Recon operations. Ground sensors include land-based electro optical/infrared (EO/IR), acoustic, magnetic, and seismic sensors for the detection and identification of ground-based targets. Maritime sensors include both land and sea-based sensors. Land-based maritime sensors encompass surface search radar and passive detection of AIS signals for the detection and identification of maritime targets. Sea based maritime sensors are unattended/autonomous surface platform capable of acoustic, EO/IR, and oceanographic/meteorological sensing to detect and identify maritime targets and increase deep maritime domain awareness beyond the range of shore-based sensors. TCS sensors identify location, disposition, movement, and direction of enemy activity using all-weather multi-modal sensor systems to provide indications and warning of enemy activity for dissemination through Joint All Domain Command and Control (JADC2) using DCGS-MC and the Minotaur Ecosystem for ingestion into a Joint Common Intelligence/Operating Picture. COUNTERINTELLIGENCE AND HUMAN INTELLIGENCE (CI/HUMINT) Equipment Program Family of Systems (CIHEP FoS): provides the Marine Corps Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Enterprise (MCISRE) with an integrated, standardized, and interoperable suite of collection, information, and communication systems to fulfill Human Intelligence (HUMINT) and Counterintelligence (CI) Intelligence Collection Requirement (ICR). Intelligence Information and Finished Reporting derived from users enable by CIHEP FoS assets is disseminated to CI and Security Agencies, the greater Intelligence Community (IC), and the Joint Force for follow-on action or analysis to inform Military Commanders' and Civilian Agency Decision Makers in their decision-making process. The CIHEP program provides CI/HUMINT Marines serving as either Department of the Navy (DON) CI Personnel or USMC employed HUMINT Collectors with specialized collection equipment that is lightweight, modular, and tailorable to execute the full spectrum of tactical and non-tactical task associated with DON CI Activities and IC or USMC directed HUMINT Collection Operations, while equipped with only items necessary for mission accomplishment. This innovation enables CI/HUMINT Marines to maintain a reduced profile a controllable footprint while performing both HUMINT and CI collection and reporting activities whether in permissive or non-permissive austere environments anywhere in the world without reliance on Marine Corps' communications infrastructure. CI/HUMINT Marine elements are task-organized to rapidly and effectively deploy and collect, process, and disseminate CI and HUMINT information to address Joint Force Commander's Critical Information Requirements (CCIR) in support of Military Operations and Planning, directly address and support IC Enterprise Critical Intelligence Information Requirements (CIR), ICRs, as well as provide direct and indirect support CI and Security Agencies in the conduct of CI Investigations and Operations addressing Investigative and operational Knowledge Gaps and Priority Information Requirements (PIR). CI/HUMINT Marines have unique placement and access by virtue of the Marine Corps' expeditionary mission, enabling the collection, processing, and dissemination of human derived information while performing their HUMINT Collector Role or All-domain exploitation while fulfilling their CI Agent role that is not commonly accessible by other enterprise collection assets This variable enables them to satisfy service, Joint and National level Intelligence Requirements simultaneously. The CIHEP FoS Technical Surveillance and Countermeasures (TSCM) capability designed to detect, locate, identify, neutralize, and exploit a wide variety of adversarial penetration surveillance technologies or vulnerabilities to prevent unauthorized access to classified and sensitive information, as well as enable the user to counter technical threats targeting secure assets such as SCIFs, Sensitive Technologies, Secure Facilities, Operational Use Vehicles and other.
