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 tactical, state-of-the-art, fully qualified, interoperable, compatible, deployable, and survivable hardware and computer networking equipment for command, control, and communications for the United States Army and other Department of Defense (DoD) services. CHS provides technical support, common standardized testing and system design / configuration management across Army tactical programs to ensure interoperability and integration of hardware throughout the development of capabilities, to facilitate and simplify the selection of common hardware solutions across the operational battlefield and to create efficiencies through streamlined common hardware configurations across the Common Operating Environments (COE)s. CHS also provides worldwide repair, maintenance, logistics, and technical support services 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 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 COE modernization 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 software maturity and readiness, development/modification of software 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 (Mission 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.
