Maneuver Control System

Abstract

Tactical Mission Command (TMC) is a suite of products and services that provide commanders and staffs executive decision making capability in a collaborative environment, planning tools, and Common Operational Picture (COP) management and other maneuver functional tools. TMC satisfies requirements and capabilities identified in the Maneuver Control System (MCS) Good Enough Operational Requirements Document (ORD) and MCS 6.4 Capability Production Document (CPD) which includes Army migration to Department of Defense (DoD) net-centric environment. The overarching capability includes a user-defined COP with integrated Command and Control (C2) and Situational Awareness (SA), map-centric collaboration, Army Battle Command System (ABCS) and other enabling system interoperability, data management, and enterprise services. The suite of products include Command Post of the Future (CPOF), Battle Command Common Services (BCCS) that provides the consolidate server and services infrastructure for systems supporting Army Battle Command from Battalion to Army Component Command, Battalion and Above Joint Convergence with the Marine Corps, and Tactical Web Portal for Knowledge management. TMC products and services are compliant with the joint technical architecture. In addition, this project funds the development of a collaborative Mission Command (MC) environment for ABCS to operate more efficiently and effectively. The MC environment will serve as a common foundation for functionality development and support by collapsing onto a common architecture and infrastructure. MC Convergence/ Common Operating Environment (COE) development and integration will significantly enhance the ability of commanders and staff to effectively conduct collaborative mission planning and execution across a range of operations and spectrum of conflict.
