Ballistic Missile Defense Command and Control, Battle Management & Communication
Abstract
The Ballistic Missile Defense Command and Control, Battle Management and Communications (C2BMC) Program provides hardware and develops software to link separate sensors and weapons into an integrated, layered missile defense system that provides greater performance and defensive coverage than is possible with stand-alone elements. The C2BMC enables the BMDS to manage complex threats, including near-simultaneous enemy missiles 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), and 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 2015, the C2BMC Program successfully tested and activated a C2BMC Deployable Interface Node (CDIN) in support of a second forward based AN/TPY-2 in the Pacific Command (PACOM). This capability improves homeland defense against emerging threats from North Korea and provides the Combatant Commander (CCMD) greater flexibility for regional defense in the PACOM Area of Responsibility (AOR). C2BMC delivered long haul communication upgrades to EUCOM, CENTCOM and PACOM AN/TPY-2 sites and to the Aegis Ashore site in Romania. The C2BMC Program also delivered the capability to integrate BMDS Middle East and European missile defense capabilities allowing both CCMD to leverage each other's assets. Based on defined BMDS architectures and system specifications, C2BMC provides the warfighter the capability to plan the 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. The C2BMC program will deliver full AN/TPY-2 X-Band radar sensor control and capabilities for improved threat object correlation to develop a common threat track from multiple sensors, with sufficient data accuracy and timeliness to enable successful engagements. The C2BMC program also works to increase coalition partners' capabilities. The C2BMC program provides continuous incremental capability upgrades to the Warfighter via software Spirals; therefore, there are necessary overlaps in the fielded and in-development Spirals' activities. C2BMC structures software Spiral development and support cycles to meet defined fielding dates within the established Ground Test campaign schedules while allowing sufficient time for development and verification and validation test activities. The fieldings of Spirals are phased to accommodate fiscal and performance priorities, in coordination with Combatant Commanders' intent. Currently, Spiral 6.4 provides continuous global operations across five Combatant Commands (CCMDs) and supports EPAA Phases 1 and 2. The next Spiral (Spiral 8.2-1) has completed development and is currently in verification testing in preparation for scheduled fielding in FY 2017. Spiral 8.2-1 will support Enhanced Homeland Defense capability by providing increased 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. Spiral 8.2-1 will also provide access to the BMDS OPIR assets and upgraded SBIRS sensor data to enable much earlier cueing for radars and shooters. Spiral 8.2-3 is currently in development and is scheduled for FY 2019 delivery. Spiral 8.2-3 will enable Aegis BMD to provide a five-fold increase in defended area by providing critical sensor management and track reporting improvements for Aegis BMD Engage-on-Remote (EOR) functionality in support of EPAA Phase 3, improve OPIR-based cueing of radars and shooters in all phases of threat engagements, and provide integration with the new Army Integrated Air and Missile Defense Battle Command System (IBCS). C2BMC is conducting requirements analysis for the future Spiral 8.2-5 which will integrate and control the Long Range Discrimination Radar (LRDR) into the BMDS in the 2020 time frame. C2BMC will perform sensor management of the LRDR and fusion of LRDR sensor data into the C2BMC system tracking capability. C2BMC will update interfaces to provide appropriate LRDR-based information to the GMD Fire Control (GFC) and other BMDS elements. C2BMC also provides the Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) Communications Network (BCN), which connects an expanding set of sensors and weapons systems, to enable the National Command Authority and the strategic, theater, and tactical level commanders to optimally engage ballistic missile threats including near simultaneous theater, regional and homeland attacks. The BCN provides a robust, end-to-end, high availability, operational communications network infrastructure with diverse paths to rapidly share information across the global Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS). The C2BMC system and networks are protected from cyber-attacks by layered defenses that start with circuits comprising the BCN that are isolated from the known networks. Where the BCN and the known networks meet, layers of firewalls, encryption devices, routers and switches each with specific access control lists (ACLs), further protect the internal systems and allow only identified and approved users and systems access to the C2BMC data. Effective network management will coordinate and integrate across diverse equipment platforms, interface with other DoD communications systems, evolve information standards and capabilities, and adhere to the DoD Risk Management Framework (RMF). Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) services are highly leveraged in providing worldwide communications. This Program Element includes support for discrimination improvement efforts, which aim 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 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 Near -term, Mid-term, and Far-term discrimination improvements capability fielding. The discrimination improvements require a coordinated effort between Systems Engineering (PE 0603890C), Ground-based Midcourse Defense (PE 0603882C), BMD Sensors (PE 0603884C), C2BMC, Aegis BMD (PE 0603892C) and Advanced C4ISR (PE 0603179C). MD40 Program-Wide Support (PWS) consists of essential non-headquarters management efforts providing integrated and efficient support to MDA functions and activities across the entire BMDS.

- Change Summary Explanation
- In FY2015, C2BMC received a $15M mark for Spiral 8.2-3 unjustified growth without baseline. Subsequent to baselining Spiral 8.2-3 in January 2015, program of $7.239M was restored from within the agency in support of Spiral 8.2-3 Early Development Tasks and sensor-to-host interface, cybersecurity strategy and crypto redesign and hardware redesign in support of hit assessment experimentation. The FY 2017 adjustment reflects a realignment of Department of Defense priorities.
