Ballistic Missile Defense Command and Control, Battle Management & Communication
Abstract
The Ballistic Missile Defense Command and Control, Battle Management, and Communications (C2BMC) Program establishes the System by linking together the external sensors and weapons of independent Elements into a layered missile defense system such that the whole is more capable and robust than the sum of its parts -- thus increasing the footprint of the Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) with greater performance and defensive coverage. The C2BMC enables the BMDS to manage complex threats -- near simultaneous enemy missile shots aimed at theater, regional, or homeland assets. The systems linked through C2BMC include Phased Array Tracking Radar Intercept on Target (PATRIOT), Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD), Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD), Ground Based Midcourse Defense (GMD); and sensors such as the Army Navy/Ground Transportable Radar Surveillance model 2 (AN/TPY-2) radar, Sea-Based X-Band Radar (SBX), Space-Based Infrared System (SBIRS), and (BMDS) Overhead Persistent Infra-Red (OPIR) Architecture (BOA). The C2BMC Program will ship a C2BMC Deployable Interface Node (CDIN) with a forward based AN/TPY-2 identified for a future BMDS deployment. The C2BMC program will also upgrade existing suite to Spiral 6.4 suite for Central Command (CENTCOM), install communications, support hardware-in-the-loop (HWIL) integration testing, provide operations and distrainment, and add a training suite in CENTCOM. Based on the Missile Defense Agency`s defined architectures and system specifications, the C2BMC program will provide the warfighter the capability to plan the Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) fight while concurrently tracking all potential ballistic missile threats, and pairing any sensor with any shooter to defeat ballistic missile threats at any range, in any phase, in all theaters. C2BMC battle management, via the Global Engagement Manager (GEM), will deliver full X-Band radar sensor control and capabilities for Improved threat object correlation which calculates a common threat track from multiple sensors through data fusion, with sufficient data accuracy and timeliness for BMDS weapon Elements to enable successful engagements via Link-16 and Extremely High Frequency (EHF) satellite communications. The C2BMC program will also work to increase coalition partners` capabilities. The C2BMC Program will expand defense of the United States, allies, and deployed forces by continuing work which has focused on limited Iranian long-range threats by enabling a coordinated defense against short- to intermediate-range threats in two regions/theaters. One of the best ways to dissuade, deter, and defeat ballistic missile threats is through integrated ballistic missile defense capabilities: weapons; sensors; and command and control, battle management, and communications. A potential or actual attack may cross regions and may fly higher and faster than stand-alone, autonomous capabilities operated by a single Military Service can defend against. Integrated Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) capabilities draw on space-, land-, and sea-based assets operated by multiple Services to provide the best sensor information about the enemy missiles location and track a more diverse and effective set of weapon options to be used by the Combatant Commander to defeat the attack; with all connected by a unifying Command and Control, Battle Management, and Communications (C2BMC) system. As a result, an effort funded in a program element may be critical to the success of efforts in other program elements. These connections are referred to as interdependencies.

- The FY 2011 increase of $111.815 Million reflects a congressional increase (Department of Defense and Full Year Continuing Appropriation Act, FY 2011 (Public Law 112-10)). The FY 2012 decrease of $0.463 Million reflects a congressional reduction (Consolidated Appropriation Act of FY 2012 (Public Law 112-74)). The FY 2013 increase of $36.215 Million reflects a realignment of Department of Defense priorities.
