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 sensors and weapons of separate 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 Patriot, Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD), Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD), Aegis Ashore, Ground Based Midcourse Defense (GMD), Army Integrated Air and Missile Defense Battle Command system (IBCS); 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). In FY 2014, the C2BMC Program shipped a C2BMC Deployable Interface Node (CDIN) in support of a second forward based AN/TPY-2 to the Pacific Command (PACOM). The C2BMC program will install communications, support Hardware-in-the-Loop (HWIL) integration testing, provide operations and sustainment, and training. 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 all theaters. C2BMC battle management will deliver full AN/TPY-2 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 Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) weapon elements to enable successful engagements via Link-16 and satellite communications. The C2BMC program also works to increase coalition partners' capabilities. This Program Element includes support for the Discrimination Improvements for Homeland Defense (DIHD) effort. The goal of this effort is to develop and field an integrated set of Element capabilities to improve BMDS effectiveness and resilience against the evolving threat. The end result will be a future BMDS architecture more capable of discriminating and destroying a re-entry vehicle with a high degree of confidence, improving Warfighter shot doctrine and preserving inventory. This effort encompasses a Near-term, Mid-term, and Far-term DIHD capability fielding. DIHD is a combined effort between Systems Engineering, Ground-based Midcourse Defense (PE 0603882C), BMD Sensors (PE 0603884C), C2BMC (PE 0603896C), Aegis BMD (PE 0603892C) and Advanced C4ISR (PE 0603179C). The C2BMC will integrate the Long Range Discrimination Radar (LRDR) into the BMDS by performing sensor management of the LRDR and fusion of LRDR sensor data into the C2BMC system tracking capability. C2BMC will provision Military Satellite Communications (MILSATCOM) and redundant terrestrial communication services from C2BMC to the LRDR. C2BMC will update interfaces to provide appropriate LRDR-based information to Ground Based Missile Defense (GMD) Fire Control (GFC) and other BMDS elements. The C2BMC Program will expand defense of the United States, allies, and deployed forces by continuing work that enables a coordinated missile defense against short- to long- range threats in multiple regions/theaters. C2BMC capability is developed and delivered incrementally. The FY 2017 delivery (Spiral 8.2-1) supports Enhanced Homeland Defense capability by providing increased Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD) battlespace, Link 16 track reporting of additional sensors, enhanced sensor tasking to meet track quality and discrimination timeliness requirements to support GMD engagements, and space situational awareness tasking support. The FY 2019 delivery (Spiral 8.2-3) supports Presidential mandate EPAA Phase 3 capability declaration by providing critical sensor management and track reporting improvements to Aegis BMD Engage-on-Remote functionality, as well as integration with the new Army IAMD Battle Command System (IBCS). 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. MD40 Program-Wide Support (PWS) consists of essential non-headquarters management efforts providing integrated and efficient support to the MDA functions and activities across the entire Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS).
