Abstract
Advanced Field Artillery Tactical Data System (AFATDS) - The Advanced Field Artillery Tactical Data System (AFATDS) is an automated fire support command and control (C2) system consisting of fire support application software operating on common hardware platforms, which provides the MAGTF with the ability to rapidly integrate all supporting arms assets into maneuver plans via a digital data communications links. The AFATDS program includes AFATDS software and hardware, the Effects Management Tool (EMT) (a C2PC injector), the Back-up Computer System (BUCS), and the Battery Mobile Tactical Shelter (MTS). Tactical Command Operations System (TCO) - TCO is the principle tool within the Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) for situational awareness through distribution of the Common Tactical Picture (CTP). It supports tactical operations providing information via high speed computer systems in a timely manner and includes the Intel Operations Workstations/Servers. R&D funds provide science and technology advanced concepts to be applied to the system for an increase in functional capabilities to the warfighter, to include JC2 development efforts. Target Location Designation and Handoff System (TLDHS) - Provides the ability for Forward Observers (FOs) and Forward Air Controllers (FACs) to: observe their area of interest, quickly and accurately locate ground targets, receive and display Blue Force Situational Awareness information and Fire Support Coordination Measures (FSCMs) on map displays interfaced with C2PC. TLDHS can digitally request and provide digital terminal control for target engagements by field artillery (FA) through AFATDS, close air support (CAS) aircraft, and naval surface fire support (NSFS), and the machine-to-machine interface of the system reduces the potential for fratricide due to human error and by displaying friendly positions and target locations to the terminal controller. TLDHS Block II also provides the capability to designate targets for laser-guided munitions and laser spot trackers. TLDHS Block II is comprised of and integrates two major subsystems: the Targeting Subsystem and the Target Hand-Off Subsystem. USMC Milestone C for TLDHS Block II was June 2005 and Fielding and Full rate Production Decisions were October 2006. Fluctuations of R&D across the FYDP are due to the nature of a spiral development approach. Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) Command and Control (C2) Systems Applications - MAGTF C2 SA merges the development, integration and testing of 45 existing C2 systems and applications into one common enterprise capability. They reside in all Combat Operations Centers (COCs) and related USMC C2 platforms. This effort provides greater economies of scale/affordability with system developers, technical design agents, integration agents and individual program offices. MAGTF C2 SA efforts are in alignment with the combat developers requirements for: Net-Centric systems, Development of reusable Open Architecture components, Data exposure, Enhancing the war-fighter's Situational Awareness and Increasing/Maximizing the Commander's decision space. Joint Battle Command - Platform (JBC-P) - will provide a single integrated Joint Blue Force Situational Awareness (JBFSA) capability solution for C2, Position Location Information (PLI),Mapping, Messaging, Overlays, and Routes, as required by Joint Requirements Oversight Council Memoranda 163-04, and 161-03. JBC-P will replace the BFT family of systems. BFSA/Blue Force Tracker (BFT) - The BFT System is a commerical L-Band satellite-based Tracking and Communication System. USMC was directed to converge to the BFT Family of Systems (FoS) by Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) Memorandum 163-04 direction based on OIF/OEF lessons learned. The BFT FoS is comprised of the BFT, Mounted Refresh Computer (MRC) and Tactical Operations Center (TOC) Kit. BFT provides the near real time capability to identify vehicle/squad/rotary aircraft position, track progress, and communicate with other operators of these tactical "platforms" in OIF, OEF, other OCONUS operations and CONUS training for wartime deployment. Identity Dominance System (IDS) - will provide a user friendly biometric authentication technology that will be employed to deny the enemy freedom of movement within the populace and positively identify known insurgents within an Area of Responsibility (AOR). It will enable Marine Corps and host-nation security personnel to detain, apprehend or deny entry to unwanted individuals in critical areas. The capability will enhance overall Force Protection and High-Value Target Identification by providing a means to rapidly ascertain whether or not a detained individual is wanted for criminal or terrorist activity, badge local workers and support post incident investigation by allowing collected evidence to be compared to available biometrics to identify likely suspects. Specifically, these items will enable enhanced perimeter security for high-visibility events such as national elections on foreign soil; high profile dignitary meetings between U.S. military officials and host nation political and military leaders; and U.S. military demonstrations. This capability will also enable enhanced prisoner management for the efficient administration of detainees, and improve Civil Action of DoD personnel by providing a means to track payments to host-nation workers and managed local labor who support/access facilities where military/Marines are located. Finally, this capability will enhance available intelligence by allowing "link analysis" on individuals to reveal criminal or terrorist associations not readily apparent when records are reviewed individually.
