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 System (TBMCS) - Joint mandated Air War planning tool for the generation, dissemination and execution of the Air Tasking Order (ATO). TBMCS is an Air Force lead program, which provides the automated tools necessary to manage tactical air operations, execute area air defense and airspace management in the tactical area of operation, and coordinate operations with components of other military services. TBMCS is located at the Tactical Air Command Center (TACC), with remotes located throughout the Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF). It is scalable, allowing for joint, coalition and service specific operations. It is an evolutionary acquisition program. 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. AN/MSQ-143A (V)I - funding will allow CTN to execute transportability testing and conduct a Field User Evaluation (FUE) of this system configuration. These events will wrap up the Testing for this configuration and allow the CTN Program Office to go to the MDA for a fielding decision for this system configuration. AN/MSQ-143A (V)I MTAOM Interface (USMC AC2 adaptive layer)- funding for this effort will allow CTN to conduct developmental testing of this interface. It will also allow the Program Office to conduct an IV&V of the software baseline that includes this adaptive layer. It will also fund the Follow On Test & Evaluation (FOT&E) of this interface. All of these events will be used by the MDA to make a fielding decision for the interface between CTN and MTAOM. 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). Joint Cooperative Target ID Ground (JCTI-G) - The Program was refocused late in FY-11 to reflect the results of a JFCOM led AoA that determined the best path to follow for continued reduction of fratricide incidents. This was to support ongoing Funded and Programmed Capability Improvements (FPCI), supported by USMC Headquarters Capability Development & Integration (HQ CD&I) Branch. The FY12 JCTI-G resources will be applied to systems that will mitigate fratricide and improve operational effectiveness. Twenty four systems have been identified and all are on the Marine Corps' high priority requirement list. These funds will enable these programs to be modified, upgraded, and fielded to meet the current threat and the intent of the JCTI-G Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Vice Chief of Staff Army (VCSA) and Assistant Commandant of the Marine Corps (ACMC) dated 14 Jan 2010. This documents the Army and Marine Corps agreement to develop and field systems that will close the fratricide gap associated with the friendly Fires on Dismounts incidences. All of these Programs facilitate the warfighter's positive identification of friendly ground forces, thereby accelerating force sorting and enabling more effective and expeditious tactical decision-making. 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. Funds support testing and Information Assurance (IA) certification activities, integration of emerging technology, and On The Move (OTM) capabilities. 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. Product is intended to fit into the cargo pocket of the uniform in order to reduce the size of the recievers. 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 tactical data link communications before, during and after operations.
