Air Ops Cmd & Control (C2) Sys
Abstract
Common Aviation Command and Control System (CAC2S) - 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 (ACE) 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). CAC2S Funding for FY15 through the FYDP is in PE 0206335M, Project 3373. 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 led 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) - Provides 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 complete the testing for this configuration and allow the CTN Program Office to go to the Milestone Decision Authority (MDA) for a fielding decision for this system configuration. 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 Marine Air Ground Task Force (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). The funding decrease ($0.995) from FY15 to FY16 is due to the completion of the MACCS Mobile Tactical Air Operations Module (MTAOM) Commercial off the Shelf (COTS) refresh. Combat Operations Center (COC) - AN/TSQ-239 (V)1/2/3/4 are a deployable, self-contained, modular, centralized and scalable facility ((V)1 MEF-size, (V)2 MSC/Div-size, (V)3 Regiment-size, (V)4 Ballatlion-size) 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. The increase of $1.920M from FY15 to FY16 will fund market research, test and software integration efforts needed to align with other C2 systems. Remote Video Viewing Terminal (RVVT) - Consists of Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) Video Down-Link (VDL) products such as the VideoScout Mobile Configuration 2 (VS-MC/2), VideoScout Mobile Configuration 3 (VS-MC/3), Man Portable Video Down-Link (MPVDL), and RVVT (Future System) that allow for the viewing and exploitation of Full Motion Video (FMV) from Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) assets. VDL systems are mission critical for Command and Control, coordination of direct and indirect fires and the prevention of fratricide. These systems provide the warfighter with video and metadata from all USMC manned and unmanned aircraft to include but not limited to Raven B, Puma, Micro-UAS, Shadow, Predator, Fire Scout, and Litening Pod on P-3, AV8-B, and F/A-18. Data is displayed to Forward Observers (FO), Joint Terminal Attack Coordinators (JTAC), and Forward Air Controller (FAC).
