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 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 - Hawaii (HDR-H), Pacific Radar, Long Range Discrimination Radar (LRDR), 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.

Change Summary Explanation
Net decrease in FY 2018 from PB19 to PB20 reflects the combined effect of enacted congressional adjustments for improved discrimination and Mobile Sensor Integration (MSI) Phase I, reduction for concurrent development efforts, and the C2BMC portion of the congressional general RDT&E reduction. Increase in FY 2019 from PB19 to PB20 reflects the enacted congressional adjustments for MSI Phase II and Cybersecurity and reductions for S8.2-3 scope adjustment and C2BMC future incremental capabilities. Increase in FY 2020 from PB19 to PB20 provides enhanced regional and homeland defense capabilities related to hypersonic tracking, advanced discrimination techniques, and integration of discriminating radars in accordance with the BMDS Phased Implementation Plan (PIP). This increase also reflects the transfer of Space-Based Infrared Sensors/BMDS Overhead Persistent Infra-Red (OPIR) Architecture test lab support from PE0603914C to PE0603896C to consolidate and gain efficiencies in lab efforts.
