Integrated Command & Control Applications

Abstract

The goal of the Integrated Command & Control Applications (IC2A) program is to reduce the development time, costs, and risks associated with the acquisition and development of an enterprise oriented Command & Control (C2) capability by defining a reference architecture to enhance common application use and reuse. This is accomplished via Congressional Earmarks identified in Project 2524. Project 2523, Product Lines provides program management of the IC2A program. Project 2524, Reuse and Component Support (RCS) identifies, develops, tests, and provides re-useable software components and products to the IC2A program and other programmed systems of record. RCS minimizes development cost and time by defining a Command & Control (C2) architecture approach consistent with net-centric principles and guidance that ensures compliance and interoperability using standards based service oriented architecture components. The use of web services as a common product line on a C2 reference architecture improves software quality, interoperability and reliability while reducing fielding times and overall life cycle costs enabling the Air Force to achieve a net-centric operations and warfare capability. This program is categorized as Budget Activity (BA) 5 to reflect a program in System Demonstration and Development (SD&D).
