27 Nov 2013 CDE enduring challenge competition briefings
- 2. Command, Control, Information
and Intelligence (C2I2)
C2I2 Research Programme vision is: a collaborative partnership with the Defence & Security
community, that delivers exploitable S&T for realisable future capabilities and operations.

- 4. Short term
• Improvement in the efficient (timeliness), effective (quality) and
economic (cost) production of I2
• Development and assessment of C2 & IS concepts: role of
modern technologies and understanding / options to support
human component of C2
• Understanding of the space environment, threats, SpSA and
SBS capabilities to support the Strategic Defence and Security
Review 2015 options on “space technologies”

- 5. Medium term
• Structured and unstructured information being routinely exploited
• Improved understanding of pattern-of-life
• Delivery of targeted relevant information to deployed user
• Increased focus on early entry / contingent ops, reach-back for
C2, C2 agility - increased resilience in C2
• Enduring space weather and SpSA capability and niche
indigenous affordable space capabilities being matured

- 6. Longer term
• Predictive intelligence – estimate intent of actors and develop
threat analysis
• Cognition, sense making, problem solving, collaborative working
applied to C2
• Space will be a realistic and affordable option for reducing the
cost of current military capability / providing new indigenous
capability

- 7. CDE enduring challenges
• Situational Awareness (sensors, precision navigation and
timing, reduced GPS dependability, persistent surveillance,
status of digital systems)
• Data (cyber, information, big data, management and processing,
sense-making, visualisation, delivery, interoperability)
• Lower cost of ownership (platforms, equipment, facilities)
• New capabilities (challenging current convention, disruptive)

- 9. Programme vision
Wherever UK Armed Forces are, whatever their mission,
S&T has sensing capability to enable situational
awareness of land, air and sea, when they need it to
support appropriate military effects. By integration of a
broad range of sensor technologies, UK Armed Forces
achieve full coverage of the battlefield. Exploitation and
development of affordable sensor technology will enable
the UK to meet evolving threats and maintain UK
Sovereign capability and freedom of action.

- 11. Programme drivers (1)
• Policy / doctrine trends
– need to generate evidence base capable of informing next SDSR
(policy and strategy formulation, capability/force structure design)
– Technology White Paper drives delivery
– managed reduction in manned ISTAR platforms and single function
collectors, replaced by introduction of multi-role platforms to provide
tactical flexibility (SDSR 10)
– future battlespace „congested, cluttered, contested, and connected‟ *
– unpredictable adversaries and threats, whose behaviour will be hard
to discern and ambiguous *
– tighter integration of capability and a greater adaptation needed to
overcome future adversaries *
* Future Character of Conflict (FCOC) 2010

- 12. Programme drivers (2)
• Economic pressure
– limited investment in capability change, thus S&T needs to focus on areas that
offer defence significant advantage in the near, medium and long term.
– continued maintenance/upgrade of the sensor inventory is economically
unsustainable
– traditional sensor development routes for land, sea and air are also
economically unsustainable
– sophisticated technology is expensive and takes time to develop
• Technology trends
– Technology now enabling multi-band, multi-function operation from one sensor
– Networked sensor operation and effective real-time fusion now becoming
feasible

- 14. CDE enduring challenges
• Situational Awareness (sensors, precision
navigation and timing, reduced GPS dependability,
persistent surveillance, status of digital systems)
• Protection (personnel, platforms, facilities, digital
systems, materials)
• Lower cost of ownership (platforms, equipment,
facilities)
• New capabilities (challenging current convention,
disruptive)

- 15. CDE themed competition
February 2014
• Novel electro-optic infrared technology
– Key attributes will be low size, weight and power, and often,
low cost
– Compact technologies and multifunction components are
envisaged as being necessary
– Novel optical configurations
– True phased array technologies, optical synthetic aperture or
direct holographic imaging
– Very sensitive imagers
