Ballistic Missile Defense Command and Control, Battle Management & Communication

Abstract

The Command and Control, Battle Management, and Communications (C2BMC) program is the integrating element of the Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS). It is a vital operational system that enables the U.S. President, Secretary of Defense and Combatant Commanders at strategic, regional and operational levels to systematically plan ballistic missile defense operations, to collectively see the battle develop, and to dynamically manage designated networked sensors and weapons systems to achieve global and regional mission objectives. 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), Homeland Defense Radar - Pacific (HDR-P), Homeland Defense Radar - Hawaii, Space-Based Infrared System (SBIRS), and BMDS Overhead Persistent Infra-Red (OPIR) Architecture (BOA). The C2BMC program also works to increase coalition partners' capabilities and 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 was 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. FY 2017 MISSILE DEFEAT ENHANCEMENTS REPROGRAMMING (FY17-26 PA): +$16.300 million was required to address emergency warfighting readiness requirements in support of Mobile Sensor Integration Program and Advanced Discrimination. +$16.300M Project MD01-C2BMC/C2BMC Development and Deployment. This is a base budget requirement. * +$10.000M was required for studies and analysis to improve communications network for Mobile Sensor Integration Program. * +$6.300M was required to improve the BMDS ability to identify lethal and non-lethal objects. This Advanced Discrimination is required to continue to defend the homeland, deployed forces and regional allies against evolving threats of increasing sophistication. FY 2018 MISSILE DEFEAT AND DEFENSE ENHANCEMENTS (MDDE) BUDGET AMENDMENT: +$24.747 million is required to address emergency warfighting requirements. +$19.000M Project MD01-C2BMC/C2BMC Development and Deployment: This is a base budget requirement. * +$10.000M is required to complete studies and analysis, and field communications improvements for Mobile Sensor Integration Program. * +$6.000M is required to improve the BMDS ability to identify lethal and non-lethal objects. This Advanced Discrimination is required to continue to defend the homeland, deployed forces and regional allies against evolving threats of increasing sophistication. * +$3.000M is required to fund the C2BMC portion of the USPACOM Joint Emergent Operational Need Statement (JEON) to deliver an integrated Upper Tier (THAAD and Aegis BMD) and Lower Tier (PAC3 Missile Segment Enhancement - MSE) ballistic missile defense system that expands engagement options and increases coverage area. +$5.747M Project MT01 C2BMC Test: required to fund an SM-3 IIA flight test, in FY19, to demonstrate a capability against threat target in support of homeland defense. This is a base budget requirement.

• Document Type: R2 Budgetary Justification
• Publication Date: Oct 01, 2019
• Source ID: 0603896C_4_0400_PB_2019
• Change Summary Explanation: The FY 2017 Reprogramming Increase reflects C2BMC Experimentation Lab (X-Lab) / Enterprise Sensors Lab (ESL) support of risk mitigation by providing infrastructure upgrades enabling increased data throughput and improved security posture for discrimination integration and BMDS Overhead Persistent Infra-Red (OPIR) Architecture (BOA) capabilities. Increase in FY 2019 from PB 2018 to PB 2019 provides development and deployment of Initial Robust BMDS Post Intercept Assessment capabilities for Increment 7, increased Discrimination development efforts supporting Homeland Defense (Increment 6), upgrades development Lab hardware-in-the-loop (HWIL) infrastructure at the Missile Defense Integration and Operation Center, and increased C2BMC Cybersecurity measures including the implementation of Windows Server 2016 software.
