BMD European Comm Support

Abstract

The BMDS Block 4.0 mission is to defend allies and deployed forces in Europe from limited Iranian long-range threats, and expand protection of United States. The European Communications Interface (ECI) located in Ramstein, Germany will provide an integrated layered defense by networking and unifying (common purpose) individual element components (sensors, weapon systems, fire control) with all military echelons across the globe. This will allow the National Command Authority (NCA) and commanders at strategic and tactical levels to systematically plan the fight (BMD Planner), commonly see it unfold (situational awareness), and dynamically direct/adjust (Global Engagement Manager (GEM)/Battle Management) networked sensors and weapons systems (BMD Network) to optimally engage (one shot - one kill) ballistic missile threats at any range, in any phase of flight, at any time. The Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) Communications System Complex (BCSC) consolidates all of the communications systems in one facility: Satellite Communications (SATCOM), Defense Information Systems Network (DISN) core, campus communications (includes the Defense Systems Network (DSN), Secret Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPRNET), Non-Secure Internet Protocol Router Network (NIPRNET) to include Video Teleconferencing Internet Protocol (VTCoIP) capability, and unclassified telephone service), Gateway, communications management, and wide area networks. This capability will provide the communications connectivity from the ECI to the BMDS Network. Establish European Communications Interface (ECI) communications in support of the BMDS Block 4.0 mission to defend allies and deployed forces in Europe from limited Iranian long-range threats, and expand protection of United States.
