Abstract
Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) Command and Control (C2) Systems and Applications (MAGTF C2 SA) - 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 Warfighter's Situational Awareness and Increasing/Maximizing the Commander's decision space. Joint Battle Command - Platform (JBC-P) Family of Systems (FoS) - JBC-P FoS is an Army led ACAT II program of Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) interest, formerly known as the Blue Force Tracker (BFT) FoS. It is comprised of L-Band SATCOM and is a digital, battle command information FoS that provides integrated, on the move, timely, relevant Command and Control Situational Awareness (C2SA) information to tactical combat, combat support and combat service support commanders, leaders, and key C2 nodes. JBC-P FoS will provide JROC mandated C2SA convergence across Combat Operations Centers (COC), ground vehicles and dismounted personnel. Identity Dominance System-MC (IDS-MC) - IDS-MC is a multi-modal (fingerprint, iris and face) biometric collection system that provides the USMC a reliable and effective capability to collect, share, match, access, verify and store identity information. IDS-MC will enable the Marine to collect appropriate biometric, biographical and reference information on an individual and match this locally developed information with pre-existing information available to the expeditionary force. The system will display match results with linkage to the respective individual's biographical and reference information as well as help analyze the response, update records as appropriate, create reports and disseminate updated information. The primary mission of IDS-MC is to provide the Marine Corps with the means to identify persons encountered in the battle space. While IDS-MC is not an intelligence analysis system, it does provide identification information in support of military intelligence and law enforcement operations by providing positive identification of persons of interest. IDS-MC is an enabler in the areas of detainee management and questioning, base access, counterintelligence screening, border control, law enforcement, displaced persons' management and aiding in humanitarian assistance missions. IDS-MC supports the tactical application of identity dominance and fully supports a forward presence, crisis response and contingency response capability. The Expeditionary Forensics and Exploitation Capability (EFEC) provides tactical and operational level forensic technical exploitation capabilities required by Marine Corps forward deployed forces. EFEC provides organic Marine Corps forensic capabilities that support the tactical commander with agile, ruggedized, and scalable expeditionary forensic capabilities that are compatible and fully integrated with joint, other Service, and interagency laboratories, yet also tailored to the unique operating requirements of the maritime domain. Maritime applications include the ability to support Marine Expeditionary Units and ruggedized construction for deployment of sensitive forensic testing and analysis equipment. Through the ability to recognize, protect, collect, analyze, store and share items with forensic value, EFEC positively identifies personnel and trace chemicals/elements; forensically exploits document and media in the commander's area of operation; and scientifically links identities and networks to places, events, and activities. It is a critical enabler to force protection, Counter Improvised Explosive Device, intelligence, targeting and law enforcement operations. Advanced Field Artillery Tactical Data Family of Systems (AFATDS FoS) - AFATDS FoS consists of three programs, AFATDS, Back Up Computer System (BUCS) and Mobile Tactical Shelter (MTS). The AFATDS automates the fire planning, tactical fire direction, and fire support coordination required to support maneuver from the sea and subsequent operations ashore. AFATDS integrates all supporting arms assets within the MAGTF such as mortars, cannon artillery, rockets and missiles, close air support, and naval surface fire support systems. BUCS is a hand-held computer system designed to provide a backup to the AFATDS in computing ballistic firing solutions, as well as provide survey and Meteorological functions in support of artillery. Additionally BUCS is the primary ballistic firing solution system during Ship To Objective Maneuver (STOM) and for the Expeditionary Fire Support System (EFSS). The MTS is a Lightweight Multi-purpose Shelter mounted on a High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) which protects both the AFATDS and operators from the environment. MTS enables rapid emplacement and displacement of fire support elements and provides networked communications on the move. Realignment of effort to new Project (C3773) in FY 19 and beyond reflects USMC Program Management Office (PMO) reorganization to improve support of USMC OPFOR. Target Hand-Off System (THS) - The THS addressed a Marine Corps operational requirement for a lightweight, handheld, and accurate target acquisition engagement coordination system. THS provides MAGTF Commanders with the only man-portable target location capability that allows Air Officers and Fire Support Coordinators to prosecute identified targets. The THS' advance interoperability capability provides the MAGTF Commander with the only portable target acquisition system able to interoperate with all target prosecution platforms available in the battlefield. The THS is designed for the Forward Air Controllers (FACs), Forward Observers (FOs), Fire Support Teams (FSTs), Firepower Control Teams (FCTs), Tactical Air Control Parties (TACPs) and Reconnaissance Teams to quickly acquire targets in day, night and near-all-weather visibility conditions, in order to conduct precise, rapid indirect surface fire support, Naval Surface Fire Support (NSFS) and Close Air Support (CAS). FY19 increase is due to a realignment from PROJECT C2270 to PROJECT C3773. Realignment of effort to new Project in FY 19 and beyond reflects USMC Program Management Office (PMO)reorganization to improve support of USMC OPFOR. Handheld Command and Control (H2C2) - H2C2 project vision outlines a collective and efficient mobile computing Acquisition Strategy to ensure economies of scale and scope. The H2C2 portfolio consists of two specific capabilities - secure wireless access to multiple networks and handheld communication platforms. The handheld capability provides low cost (commercially available) platforms (smartphones and tablets) for use on every network regardless of the operational environment. The emerging technologies will enable access to both classified and unclassified systems on a single device. The secure wireless capability enables Marines burdened by wired implementations an option to leverage wireless mediums. This capability provides wireless communication between a variety of devices. Starting in FY18, Handheld efforts were re-aligned from JBC-P program.
