C2 Air Operations Suite - C2 Info Services

Abstract

Command and Control (C2) Air Operations Suite - C2 Information Services (C2AOS-C2IS) funds operational development necessary to acquire and modify segments of Air Force's (AF) C2 capabilities and services. Applications Development provides worldwide operational capabilities for AF C2 in support of DoD, Coalition Partners, and other government agencies. These efforts focus on support of the Joint Forces Air Component Commander (JFACC) that provides air, space and cyber support as presented to the AOC and to other AF and Joint Services C2 systems. Applications Development efforts deliver capabilities identified in the Joint Command and Control (JC2) Capability Development Document (CDD) (2013). These activities include C2AOS-C2IS needs identified in the Capability Definition Package (CDP) (2012). Applications Development: C2AOS-C2IS creates web-enabled information services to expose air operations data using standardized schemas, such as those developed by the Air Operations Community of Interest. C2AOS-C2IS also develops and matures net-centric C2 applications for air battle planning, execution, and management functions. These applications include Network Enabled Weapons (NEW); the remainder of the CDP and Theater Battle Management Core Systems - Force Level (TBMCS FL) functionality; services to support air mission and Friendly Order of Battle execution, Alerting, Publish and Subscribe, Content Management and Reporting; and integration with a JC2 Reference Architecture (RA) host infrastructure environment. Unit Level: Command and Control, Incident Management, Emergency Response Application (C2IMERA; formerly Unit Command and Control [UC2]) funds develop and integrate C2IMERA as an evolving sequence of increasing software capabilities that support a wing commander's ability to track base level resources, incident management, and provide a real time Common Operating Picture. All in all enabling a commander to have total situational awareness during peace and wartime operations. C2IMERA operations software systems addresses needs identified in the TBMCS Operational Requirements Document (ORD) (2001), the UC2 Baseline System Requirements Document (SRD), and AF Form 1067, Modification Proposal, requirements documents. C2IMERA is utilizing Agile Software Development and Operations (DevOps) methodology by directly soliciting user feedback for improvements to the software. C2IMERA is fielded to Wing Operations Centers (WOC), the Maintenance Operations Centers (MOC), the Emergency Operations Centers (EOC), Crisis Action Teams (CAT), and many other work-centers across multiple MAJCOMs with plans to expand for use as an AF wide application. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver Applications Development and Unit Level capabilities. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program elements 0605826F, 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605830F, 0605831F, 0605832F, and 0605898F. As directed in the FY 2018 NDAA, Sec 825, amendment to PL 114-92 FY 2016 NDAA, Sec 828 Penalty for Cost Overruns, the FY 2018 Air Force penalty total is $14.373M. The calculated percentage reduction to each research, development, test and evaluation and procurement account will be allocated proportionally from all programs, projects, or activities under such account. 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.
