Army Tactical Command & Control Hardware & Software
Abstract
The umbrella program to exploit automation technology for the conduct of combat operations is the Army Tactical Command and Control System (ATCCS) program which is a component of the Army Battle Command System (ABCS). The ATCCS program provides automation in the five battlefield functional areas (BFAs) with the following specific systems: (1) Maneuver Control System (MCS); (2) Effects and Fires Command and Control Systems (EFCCS); (3) All Source Analysis System (ASAS) for Intelligence/Electronic Warfare; (4) Forward Area Air Defense Command, Control and Intelligence System (FAADC2I); and (5) Battle Command Sustainment Support System (BCS3). To provide an overall technically sound, cost effective, and operationally responsive approach, the design and development of ATCCS must be accomplished on a total systems basis. The Common Hardware Systems (CHS) program provides state-of-the-art, fully qualified, interoperable, compatible, deployable, and survivable hardware and computer networking equipment for command, control, and communications at all echelons of command for the United States Army and other Department of Defense (DoD) services. CHS services are provided through strategically located contractor-operated Regional Support Centers (RSC) for tactical military units and management of a comprehensive 5-year warranty and 72-hour turnaround for repairs. Common Software(CS) is the program through which the Army procures, develops, integrates and tests common software products and/or components used for communication between ABCS, Joint and coalition Command and Control (C2) applications. The CS project provides state-of-the-art software technologies and functionality that is used by numerous Army Battle Command Systems (ABCS) and joint systems to eliminate the need for service independent development and duplication of effort. The CS project also manages and performs technology demonstrations of emerging technologies for future use by Army C2 systems. The CS program is a cornerstone in the Army's digitization efforts. Funding supports on-going development of common software solutions and the technical evaluation of previously developed software capabilities for integration into the computing environments of the Army COE architecture to include appropriate Mounted and Mobile Computing environments. Efforts will include assessment of softwarematurity and readiness, development/modification of software as necessary to integrate, integration with common computing environments, and validation. This program element also includes the Central Technical Support Facility (CTSF) which is the Army's single strategic facility responsible for executing SoS Interoperability checkout, testing, physical system integration and configuration management of the Army's LandWarNet Baseline. The Technical Management Division (TMD) effectively manages the engineering, Enterprise and Integration efforts within the Program Executive Office Command, Control, Communication and Tactical (PEO C3T) portfolio of technology and across the capability enhancement packages to deliver efficient and effective cross-domain technical solutions. TMD efforts will focus on System-of-Systems (SOS) engineering and integration for evolution of the network (Warfighter Information Network-Tactical, Joint Tactical Radio System) and associated services (Unified Battle Command, Joint Battle Command-Platform, Net-Enabled Command Capability, Network Service Center) with increased emphasis on immediate Warfighter needs as well as leveraging emerging technologies. TMD efforts support working Army Network Modernization strategy and implementation to include: network integration; emerging technologies; coordination of network services; current and force integrated Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Combat Systems, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) network/transport architectures; integrated developmental, technical, and operational test schedules/documentation; and the tactical assessment and execution of the enterprise implementation and framework. TMD synchronizes the integration of many Headquarters, Department Of The Army (HQDA) initiatives and also oversees the technical analysis supporting the Army Common Operating Environment (COE) Assessment and implementation. The JNN Warfighter Information Network-Tactical (WIN-T Increment 1) is intended to replace MSE while moving the Army to a unified EOIP Communications System. JNN Testing is the Increment 1b Technical Insertion to Increment 1a for Operational Test, which was conducted in FY 2012 in conjunction with the Increment 2 Initial Operational Test and Evaluation. These systems support the Legacy to Objective transition path. The network is capable of passing unclassified and classified traffic, throughout its entire structure, from Home Station Operations center to the furthest forward Battalion Elements. Designed to meet modularity and rapid deployment mandate, the network is
