Marine Corps Comms Systems

Abstract

This program element provides funding to develop the command and control (C2) support and information infrastructures for the Fleet Marine Force and supporting establishment. Doctrinally, the C2 support system and the information infrastructure form two parts of a triad of capabilities which permits command and control systems to be transformed into a complete operating system. The third element of the triad is command and control organization and is not covered in this program element. USMC command and control is divided into seven functional areas and one supporting functional area as follows: intelligence C2, fire support C2, air operations C2, radio systems C2, combat service support C2, warfare C2, radar systems C2, and C2 support (information processing and communications). Within this program element, subprojects have been grouped by C2 functional area for more efficient planning. Air defense weapons systems have been added to facilitate planning and a separate project is used for systems assigned to the supporting establishment. Subprojects which support the Commander's decision processes have been collected into the Command Post Systems project since these systems must work in close cooperation to ensure effective C2 of Marine Air Ground Task Forces.

Change Summary Explanation
Decrease from Previous President's Budget is primarily attributed to the following: - Command & Controls Warfare Sys Project 2274: Marine Electromagnetic Warfare Ground Family of Systems (MEGFoS) decrease of $8.046M due to completion of the development of networking capability for dismounted and team portable systems, and completion of the development and integration of the initial MEGFoS mounted and dismounted capabilities. - Information Related Capabilities (IRC) Project 3772: Signature Management (SIGMAN) decrease is due to higher Department of the Navy (DON) priorities, and impacts YETI. Details are held at a higher classification. - Fire Coordination and Sensors Project 3773: Advanced Field Artillery Tactical Data System (AFATDS) decrease is due to conclusion of AFATDS v6.8.1.4 SW development to support Marine Corps-specific GBASM requirements.
