Army Tactical Command & Control Hardware & Software
Abstract
The Common Hardware Systems (CHS) program acquires and sustains highly flexible, state-of-the-art, cost effective, common, and simplified non-developmental C5ISR solutions that improve interoperability and connectivity on the battlefield while garnering efficient competition to integrate the latest commercial technology onto the Army tactical network. 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. Common Software (CS) is the suite of systems through which the Army develops, integrates and tests common software products and/or components used for communication between Army Mission Command Systems and 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 Mission Command (MC) 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. This program element also includes the Central Technical Support Facility (CTSF) which is the Army's single strategic facility responsible for executing Army Interoperability Certification (AIC) system of system verification/validation checkout, testing, and configuration management for the Army's LandWarNet Baseline. The Technical Management Division (TMD) effectively manages the System-of-Systems engineering, Enterprise and Integration efforts for the continuing evolution of the network within the Program Executive Office Command, Control, Communication and Tactical (PEO C3T) portfolio of technology across the capability enhancement packages to deliver efficient and effective cross-domain technical solutions. The Mounted Computing Environment (MCE) is one of the six computing environments formalized by the AAE under the Common Operating Environment (COE) via the AAE Directive to Program Executive Offices dated 20 December 2011. MCE standardizes end-user environments and enables streamlined deployment of new warfighting applications. The Joint Battle Command - Platform (JBC-P) is the foundational element and core software platform of the MCE. Future development of the MCE will leverage JBC-P hardware and software to consolidate and integrate multiple warfighting systems in the Platform (Mounted) environment and will speed delivery of new Mission Command applications to the warfighter while improving the effectiveness and value of current systems. In FY 2016, these funds are being realigned from PE/Project 0203740A/484. The Command Post Computing Environment (CPCE), one of the computing environments under the Common Operating Environment (COE), provides a common foundation (Common Infrastructure / Common Services) for Warfighter Capabilities. The CPCE establishes a Common Core Software Baseline and Hardware Configuration upon which future Warfighter capabilities can be built. The CPCE targets Command and Control (C2) capability development at tactical echelons that span from the company to all Army Service Component Commands (ASCC). The CPCE will be the most critical computing environment developed to support the command posts and combat operations. In FY 2016, these funds are being realigned from PE/Project 0604805A/593. Tactical Digital Media (TDM) is comprised of photo, video and audio recording and editing equipment that will be assembled and issued as variant kits tailored to unit mission requirements. TDM kits address modernization gaps associated with all operational Combat Camera (COMCAM), Public Affairs (PA), and Military Information Support Operations (MISO) units. TDM provides essential imagery, multimedia products, and live interview capabilities that directly contribute to successful execution of a Commander's strategic engagement and communications strategy across the full range of military operations. Tactical Network Operations (NetOps) and Management (TNOM) is the program which will develop and integrate the Tactical NetOps software capabilities in support of NetOps Convergence, PEO C3T STARNET objectives and emerging Cyber Center Of Excellence (CCOE) requirements. The end state program is designed to synchronize LandWarNet NetOps efforts in an integrated and interoperable framework, spanning all echelons of command and supporting the full range of military operations for Army, Joint, and Coalition Forces in order to ensure converged NetOps. The initial mission is convergence of all Tactical Defensive Cyber Operations (DCO) and DoD Information Network (DoDIN) functions into a single integrated set of Tactical NetOps and Management software. This integrated solution provides NetOps capability from the Soldier to the Theater network entry point and supports the Implementation of the Integrated Tactical NetOps (ITNO) Capability Production Document (CPD). Tactical Enhancement supports testing requirements for capabilities procured and fielded under the Signal Modernization Program. Signal Modernization will modernize legacy terrestrial communications links and increase capacity of the Expeditionary Signal Battalions. It will also provide transport convergence for Warfighter Information Network- Tactical (WIN-T) Increment 1 units, bringing Top Secret Intel, Medical, and Sustainment capabilities from their legacy stovepipe transport systems on to the WIN-T network.
