Army Tactical Command & Control Hardware & Software
Abstract
Project 323, the Common Hardware Systems (CHS) program, acquires and sustains highly flexible, customized, cost effective, common, and simplified non-developmental Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Combat Systems, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (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, environmental and evaluation testing, system design, and end of life/configuration management across Army tactical programs to ensure interoperability and integration of hardware throughout the development of capabilities. CHS hardware evaluations facilitate and simplify the selection of common hardware solutions across the operational battlefield. CHS creates efficiencies through the acquisition of streamlined common hardware configurations across the Common Operating Environments (COE)s, the sustainment community, and tactical programs. CHS also provides logistical services to include worldwide 72-hour turnaround repair through strategically located support centers for tactical military units, manages customizable warranty, maintenance and failure rate reporting, and technical support services to support specific Army program requirements. Project 334, the Common Software (CS) program, 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. There is no FY19 RDTE funding since Common SW will be transitioning into sustainment in FY19. Project C29, the Central Technical Support Facility (CTSF), 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. Project C34 funds the PEO Command, Control, Communications-Tactical (PEO C3T) Technical Management Division (TMD), which effectively manages the System-of-Systems engineering, Enterprise and Integration efforts for the continuing evolution of the network within the PEO C3T portfolio of technology across the capability enhancement packages to deliver efficient and effective cross-domain technical solutions. Project EJ5, the Mounted Computing Environment (MCE), is one of the six computing environments (CEs) formalized by the AAE under the Common Operating Environment (COE) initiative. MCE standardizes end-user environments and enables streamlined deployment of new warfighting applications. The JBC-P is the foundational hardware element of the MCE. MCE enables Mission Command capability development to echelons from dismounted command nodes to echelons above corps, providing enhanced interoperability, and simplified end-user interface. Requirements for the MCE are established in the draft Mounted Computing Environment Information System Initial Capabilities Document (MCE IS CDD). FY2019 funding provides the means to continue to manage and develop MCE in concert with CPCE. Project EJ4, the Command Post Computing Environment (CPCE), is one of the computing environments under the Common Operating Environment (COE). It provides a common framework (Common Infrastructure / Common Services) upon which future Warfighter capabilities can be built. The CPCE targets Command and Control (C2) and Situational Awareness (SA) capability development at tactical echelons that span from Army Service Component Commands (ASCC) to company level. The CPCE will be the most critical computing environment developed to support the command posts and combat operations. Project EJ7, 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. No FY19 RDTE funding. Project EK9, Tactical Network Operations (NetOps) Management (TNOM), will support the development and integration of the Tactical NetOps software capabilities in support of Network Operations (NetOps) Convergence, Army Objectives and emerging Cyber Center of Excellence (CCOE) requirements. The end state program is designed to synchronize LandWarNet, Network-enabled Mission Command, and Global Information Grid 2.0 Network Operations (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 DoD Information Network (DoDIN) functions into a single integrated set of Tactical NetOps and Management software. This integrated solution provides NetOps capability to manage Tactical Networks from the Soldier to the Theater network entry point and supports the implementation of integrated NetOps for Unified Network Operations (UNO). UNO will deliver a standardized visualization capability (integrating both Upper and Lower Tactical Internet NetOps) in order to reduce complexity and inform the military decision making processes. UNO will also provide enhanced capability to detect, respond, and restore from cyber incidents. Project ER9, Command Post Integrated Infrastructure (CPI2), fields mobile Command Post Nodes by integrating supporting mission command solutions in accordance with Directed Requirement with a FY20 First Unit Equipped in order to enhance the survivability and mobility of brigade and below command post formations. On order, Command Post Integrated Infrastructure will replace selected elements of the legacy command post to provide improved expeditionary capability, survivability, agility, and scalability for Corps and Division Main and Tactical Command Posts, Brigade Main and Tactical Command Posts, and Battalion Command Posts. It will ensure information and support systems are introduced into the Command Post through physical integration allowing the commander to tailor the Command Post as missions dictate. Project EQ8, Mobile/Handheld Computing Environment, supports the Nett Warrior (NW) Program (named in honor of Medal of Honor recipient Colonel Robert C. Nett), also known as the Ground Soldier System (GSS) Program. The program leverages commercial smart devices and secure Army tactical radios to provide the dismounted leader an integrated mission command and situational awareness system for use during combat operations. The NW system provides leaders electronic real-time information on friendly positions; information about enemy activity and movement; navigational data and map imagery; a collaborative planning tool; and other mission related graphics which effectively puts the power of the entire Army tactical network in the hands of the dismounted leader. Project EW3, Unit Task Reorganization (UTR), is the process performed by the S6 and their staff to affect change on the network in order to support the operational mission and dynamic nature of the Army. Currently network challenges exist during this process with regard to: maintaining accurate and up to date information, distributing configuration files and activating / re-establishing the network. UTR strives to make authoritative NETOPS available across all systems, reduce cognitive burden for soldiers to plan and manage the network and reduce manual touch labor. Project EJ6, Tactical Enhancement, supports the evaluation and testing requirements for Modular Communications Node - Advanced Equipment (MCN-AE), Terrestrial Transmission (TRILOS) and Troposcatter Transmission (TROPO) capabilities procured and fielded under the Signal Modernization (SIGMOD) funding line, B00010. TRILOS and TROPO will provide redundancy communications in a Satellite denied environment by providing improved Line of Site and beyond line of sight radio systems. SIGMOD Capabilities include: MCN-AE: Provides Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI) communications to Brigades, Divisions, Corps, and Signal Battalions over the WIN-T network; TRILOS: Enables Mission Command in a Satellite Denied environment at higher throughput than the current High Capacity Line of Sight System (HCLOS). TRILOS: Enables Army units to reduce reliance on costly satellite bandwidth. TRILOS will extend the network by utilizing a significantly reduced Size, Weight and Power (SWaP) radio verses the aging HCLOS system. TROPO: Enables Mission Command in a Satellite Denied environment by providing Beyond Line of Site (BLOS) capability over longer ranges and at higher throughput than the current BLOS System. TROPO extends the network by utilizing a significantly reduced SWaP radio verses the current system. TROPO will enable Army units to reduce reliance on costly satellite bandwidth.
