Ballistic Missile Defense Command and Control, Battle Management & Communication

Abstract

The C2BMC program is the integrating element of the Missile Defense System. 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, Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense, Aegis Ashore, Ground-based Midcourse Defense, Army Integrated Air and Missile Defense Battle Command System, and sensors such as the Army Navy/Transportable Radar Surveillance and Control-2 Radar, Sea-Based X-Band Radar, Long Range Discrimination Radar, Homeland Defense, Space-Based Infrared System, and Ballistic Missile Defense Systems Overhead Persistent Infrared Architecture. 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. C2BMC begins support to integrate existing sensor elements within Missile Defense Agency and the Services into the Ballistic Missile Defense System Communications Network to establish a globally integrated sensor architecture to provide enhanced, dynamic space capabilities, and extend existing BCN network and cybersecurity management to cover the expanded architecture. Under the Missile Defense Agency's Defense of Guam Program, the C2BMC program is integrating Missile Defense and Joint systems, establishing an expeditionary and permanent Command Center and providing required communication support throughout the island.
