(U)Common Aviation Command and Control Sys (CAC2S)

Abstract

Common Aviation Command and Control System (CAC2S) - A coordinated modernization effort to replace the existing aviation command and control equipment of the Marine Air Command and Control System (MACCS) and to provide the Aviation Combat Element (ACE) with the necessary hardware, software, equipment, and facilities to effectively command, control, and coordinate aviation operations. The CAC2S system will accomplish the MACCS missions with a suite of operationally scalable modules to support the Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF), Joint, and Coalition Forces. The CAC2S integrates the functions of aviation command and control into an interoperable system that will support the core competencies of all Marine Corps warfighting concepts. The CAC2S, in conjunction with the MACCS organic sensors (AN/TPS-63, AN/TPS-59 and AN/TPS-80 (Ground/Air Task Oriented Radar (G/ATOR)) and weapon system Composite Tracking Network (CTN) will provide enhanced air control, improved situational awareness, sensor integration (G/ATOR and AN/TPS-59), full Tactical Data Link integration, airspace and battle planning and command functionality as well as sensor netting integration (CTN). CAC2S with these organic MACCS programs support the tenets of Expeditionary Maneuver Warfare and fosters joint interoperability. CAC2S Increment I will replace legacy aviation command and control systems in the following Marine aviation agencies: Direct Air Support Center (DASC), Tactical Air Command Center (TACC), and Tactical Air Operations Center (TAOC).
