Cyber Command and Control (C2)

Abstract

Cyber Command and Control (C2) provides Combatant Commanders, Joint Force Commanders and Service Component Commanders with enhanced situational awareness and battle management for cyberspace operations missions and forces. C2 establishes congressionally directed focal point to provide integrated C2 solutions to all echelons for execution of cyberspace operations to enable and accelerate planning/collaboration between Cyber Mission Forces (CMF) and Combatant Commands (CCMD). This program will integrate Cyber Command and Control (C2) with Joint, Coalition and inter-agency C2 to enhance multi-domain operations, reduce planning time, improve decision quality and speed resulting in a shorter kill chain. Capabilities will be developed to address the CMF used to conduct cyberspace operations. Additionally, it will leverage and utilize a Continuous Infrastructure/Continuous Development (CI/CD) Framework to pace development with warfighter need. C2 development activities include, but are not limited to: rapid prototyping, development of software/hardware systems; integration and transition of lab developed cyber capabilities to the warfighter; testing and evaluation; program management, studies, analysis, pilots, and demonstrations; risk reduction for emerging technologies; and development and assessment of operational systems for inclusion into C2 to meet capability requirements. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded, or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year. This program element includes non-USCYBERCOM civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver existing or emergent support weapon system capability in accordance with a USCC MOA with US Air Force.
