SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS. Seeking industries input on Initiatives for participation in Empire Challenge 09 (EC09) scheduled for July 2009. Risk Reduction Limited Objective Experiments may be required for Initiatives throughout the year to ensure interoperability of selected technologies, systems, and Tactics, Techniques, & Processes (TTPs). An Initiative is defined as a new or existing technology, system, or TTP that satisfies an operational requirement to satisfy Information, Surveillance, Reconnaissance (ISR) related capability gaps.
The Empire Challenge experimentation series is the premier ISR experiment event directed by the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence (USD(I)). There are four major principals who support the USD(I) US Joint Forces Command (JFCOM), Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS), Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC), and National Geospatial Agency (NGA). In addition, Coalition and NATO participants are also extensively involved to ensure interoperability and exposure to these Initiatives. USJFCOM J2/JTC-I will lead the coordination and execution of EC09.
The primary focus of EC09 is to identify new Technologies/ Systems/ TTPs that will satisfy Joint Capability Areas (JCAs) for ISR Transformation as well as Command and Control of ISR assets involved. In addition, Combatant Command (COCOM) Challenges, Joint Urgent Operations Needs (JUONs), and Joint Priority Lists (JPLs) are also key considerations.

Relevant areas of interest:
Azimuth Sensing System: There is an urgent need for a system capable of improving targeting accuracy. Current weapon systems are capable of engaging targets with an accuracy that exceeds the limits of the targeting equipment. Currently only laser designation provides a practical solution to this problem, however, this makes the operator vulnerable to counterattacks. Accurate knowledge of a user location coupled with range, heading, and elevation to target provides a solution where a brief range-finding designation will allow for a target's location to be know well enough to call for a precision strike.

SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS. Seeking industries input on Initiatives for participation in Empire Challenge 09 (EC09) scheduled for July 2009. Risk Reduction Limited Objective Experiments may be required for Initiatives throughout the year to ensure interoperability of selected technologies, systems, and Tactics, Techniques, & Processes (TTPs). An Initiative is defined as a new or existing technology, system, or TTP that satisfies an operational requirement to satisfy Information, Surveillance, Reconnaissance (ISR) related capability gaps.
The Empire Challenge experimentation series is the premier ISR experiment event directed by the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence (USD(I)). There are four major principals who support the USD(I) US Joint Forces Command (JFCOM), Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS), Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC), and National Geospatial Agency (NGA). In addition, Coalition and NATO participants are also extensively involved to ensure interoperability and exposure to these Initiatives. USJFCOM J2/JTC-I will lead the coordination and execution of EC09.
The primary focus of EC09 is to identify new Technologies/ Systems/ TTPs that will satisfy Joint Capability Areas (JCAs) for ISR Transformation as well as Command and Control of ISR assets involved. In addition, Combatant Command (COCOM) Challenges, Joint Urgent Operations Needs (JUONs), and Joint Priority Lists (JPLs) are also key considerations.

Relevant areas of interest:
Azimuth Sensing System: There is an urgent need for a system capable of improving targeting accuracy. Current weapon systems are capable of engaging targets with an accuracy that exceeds the limits of the targeting equipment. Currently only laser designation provides a practical solution to this problem, however, this makes the operator vulnerable to counterattacks. Accurate knowledge of a user location coupled with range, heading, and elevation to target provides a solution where a brief range-finding designation will allow for a target's location to be know well enough to call for a precision strike.
