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. This program element investigates concepts and performs systems engineering to address hypersonic threats. The C2BMC enables the Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) to manage complex threats, including near-simultaneous enemy missiles aimed at theater, regional, or homeland assets. 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). 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 weapon system to defeat ballistic missile threats at any range, in all theaters. The C2BMC program also works to increase coalition partners' capabilities. This effort also investigates concepts and explores system engineering issues associated with innovative space applications for a missile defense intercept and defeat system. FY 2017 Amended Budget Request Justification: $+16.650M is required to address Joint Emergent Operational Need requirements to ensure readiness of the BMDS. $+16.650M Project MD01-C2BMC/C2BMC Development and Deployment to begin OSD Joint Rapid Acquisition Cell (JRAC)-directed efforts to develop and field a limited capability to provide missile warning and tracking of hypersonic weapons.
