Air Ops Cmd & Control (C2) Sys
Abstract
Common Aviation Command and Control System (CAC2S) is a coordinated modernization effort to replace the existing aviation command and control equipment of the Marine Air Command and Control System (MACCS) and to provide the Aviation Combat Element with the necessary hardware, software, equipment, and facilities to effectively command, control, and coordinate aviation operations. The CAC2S system will accomplish the MACCS missions with a suite of operationally scalable modules to support the Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF), Joint, and Coalition Forces. The CAC2S integrates the functions of aviation command and control into an interoperable system that will support the core competencies of all Marine Corps warfighting concepts. The CAC2S, in conjunction with MACCS organic sensors and weapons systems, supports the tenets of Expeditionary Maneuver Warfare and fosters joint interoperability. CAC2S Increment I will replace legacy aviation command and control systems in the following Marine aviation agencies: Direct Air Support Center (DASC), Tactical Air Command Center (TACC), and Tactical Air Operations Center (TAOC). Theater Battle Management Core Systems (TBMCS) - provides the commander the automated tools necessary to generate, disseminate, and execute the Air Tasking Order (ATO), as mandated by the Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff in July 1993. It is an evolutionary acquisition, allowing for the rapid development/fielding of hardware and software to meet today's rapidly advancing technology. It is fielded to all four Marine Tactical Air Command Squadrons (MTACS) and the supporting establishment. The Composite Tracking Network (CTN) - will provide the Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) Commander a ground based sensor netting solution that significantly improves situational awareness by correlating sensor measurement data (target position, speed, heading, Identification Friend and Foe (IFF), etc.) from local and remote radars in the Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC) network, which is then provided to the warfighter in the form of composite, real-time, air surveillance tracks. The Marine Air Command and Control System (MACCS) Sustainment - consists of various command and control agencies designed to provide the Aviation Combat Element (ACE) commander with the ability to monitor, supervise and influence the application of Marine aviation assets in support of MAGTF operations. The MACCS Sustainment provides funding to keep these fielded systems ready, relevant and capable until their functions are replaced by the Common Aviation Command and Control System (CAC2S). Single Integrated Air Picture (SIAP) - is the product of fused, common, continual, unambiguous tracks of airborne objects within the surveillance area. A SIAP will be achieved through the use of a model-based architecture computerized specification (the Integrated Architecture Behavior Model, or IABM). The IABM provides the common architectural standard (Platform-Independent Model, or PIM) for systems that make up the joint SIAP SoS. Each of the Services, through their respective SIAP program offices, develops Platform-Specific Models (PSM) of the IABM that are used to develop SIAP solutions for incorporation into Service-designated platforms. Battlefield Target Identification Device (BTID) - In FY09 and beyond - will be a cooperative battlefield target identification device that employs encrypted, Ka band, millimeter wave, question and answer technology. It will consist of interrogator and transponder antennae, transceiver, and communications/electrical interface unit. It will be fielded as three variants: interrogaror/transponder system for Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle (EFVs), Light Amphibious Vehicles (LAVs), and M1A1s; interrogator-only for Heavy Machine Gun (HMG), Anti-Tank Guided Missile (ATGM), and Target Location Data Hand-off System (TLDHS); and transponder-only system for combat support and combat service support vehicles. When fielded, mounted weapon systems will have the capability to identify targets as friendly or unknown, at ranges to 6 km, before engaging them. They and all other designated vehicles will also possess the capability to rapidly identify themselves as friendly to weapon systems equipped with comparable systems prior to being engaged. As a result, incidents of fratricide and collateral damage will decline, while the range at which targets may be engaged without fear of misidentification will increase dramatically. The system will be interoperable with Joint, Allied, and Coalition forces' cooperative target identification systems. Combat Operations Center (COC) AN/TSQ-239 (V)2/3/4 is a deployable, self-contained, modular, scalable and centralized facility which provides digital, shared Command and Control/Situational Awareness functionalities to enhance the Common Operational Picture (COP) for the Command Element, Ground Command Element, Air Combat Element, and Logistics Combat Element. It is a commercial-off-the-shelf integrated hardware solution using unit provided radios, re-hosted tactical data systems, and available Marine Corps prime movers to transport the system. FY10 funds required for H/W refresh for Golf model 2010 upgrades. Funding also supports 2 MEB Urgent Universal Needs Statement (UUNS) (Mar 09) to include OEF supplemental kits of various configurations, Tactical Collaboration Work Station (TCWS) integration (MCCDC) LOC and OIF Force retrograde. Remote Video Viewing Terminal (RVVT) - Provides warfighter with video connectivity to multiple types of aerial platforms (Pioneer, Dragon Eye, Raven B, Shadow, Predator, Fire Scout, and Litening Pod on P-3, AV8-B, and F/A-18). Data is displayed to Regimental Combat Teams and Forward Air Controller operators who coordinate with higher headquarters for fires. Program Office is pursuing a MS B in FY11. Joint Interface Control Office (JICO) Support System (JSS) - will provide net-centric services through a transformational management system to enable internet protocol-based networks of the future to operate efficiently with current tactical networks. It will manage complex tactical networks through an automated toolset and information repository that enables planning, management and analysis of communications before, during and after operations. GROUP 1 (formerly known as TIER I UAS) - The Program Office is pursuing a rapid acquisition approach to quickly field new technology and capabilities to the warfighter. The strategy is to use evolutionary acquisition with two incremental developments to meet the final desired SURSS requirements. The SURSS Block 0, Dragon Eye, was the first increment and is currently fielded to deployed units. For the Block 1 increment the USMC adopted the USSOCOM Rucksack Portable UAV (RPUAV) ORD, which meets the USMC's requirement and began migrating to the joint materiel solution, the Raven B. The Army Program Manager for Unmanned Aircraft Systems is the program manager of record. By leveraging off of this joint program already in the production phase, the USMC is able to rapidly field systems to deployed warfighters. TIER II/UAS - This is a combined Navy (PE#0305204N) and Marine Corps (PEs#0206313M/#0206625M) budget submission. The Tier II/UAS is a new start program that will provide persistent, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) support for tactical level maneuver decisions and unit level force defense/force protection for Navy ships and Marine Corps land forces. This system will fill the ISR capability shortfalls identified by the Navy Small Tactical Unmanned Aircraft System (STUAS) and Marine Corps Tier II UAS efforts. Consisting of four air vehicles, two ground control stations, multiple payloads, and associated launch, recovery and support equipment, this system will support the Navy missions including building the Recognized Maritime Picture, Maritime Security Operations, Maritime Interdiction Operations, and support of Navy units operating from sea/shore in OCO and the Marine Cops close range (<50 nautical miles (nm)) UAS enabling enhanced decision-making and improved integration with ground schemes of maneuver. This submission is the Marine Corps portion of the program and has been coordinated with the Navy budget submission PE# 0305204N. This program was moved to Program Element 0206625M in FY10 and beyond.
