JOINT BATTLE COMMAND - PLATFORM (JBC-P)
Abstract
Joint Battle Command - Platforms (JBC-P), which includes Blue Force Tracking and Army Aviation, provides true Joint force Command and Control (C2) Situational Awareness (SA) and communications (e.g., terrestrial, celestial) capability at the platform level through command center locations (e.g., Network Operations Centers, Theater Operation Commands (TOCs), Brigade Command Posts) and enables mission accomplishment across the entire spectrum of Joint military operations. JBC-P serves as the cornerstone for Joint Blue Force Situational Awareness (JBFSA). It provides continuous near-real-time identification of friendly locations to populate the Joint Common Operating Picture (JCOP). Joint Battle Command - Platforms (JBC-P) enhances Joint Combat Identification to increase combat effectiveness and reduces fratricide in a secure environment. It enables Joint, net-centric C2/Battle Command by seamlessly passing/sharing relevant information vertically and horizontally, within all levels of command, regardless of Service unit hierarchy. In addition to utilizing the existing FBCB2/BFT system, JBC-P system hardware consists of a family of computers (e.g., handhelds, tablets, ruggedized computers, beacons and in-dash computers), communications equipment (e.g., satellite tranceivers/antennas), encryption devices (e.g., KGV-72), and ancillary equipment (e.g., Mission Data Loader, Disk Duplicator, cables, installation kits, etc.). $3.935 million is programmed for FY11 RDTE to pay for JBC-P C2/SA Convergence.
