Air Ops Cmd & Control (C2) Sys
Abstract
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 area of operation. It is scalable, allowing for joint, coalition and service specific operations. It is an evolutionary acquisition program. Increase from FY16 to FY17 of $1.376M funds development and test and evaluation of USMC developed software releases that support the software baseline for Cyber Security upgrades as well as Cyber Security Accreditation. Composite Tracking Network (CTN) - Provides 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. This data is then provided to the warfighter in the form of composite, real-time, air surveillance tracks to the Marine Air Command and Control node and is integral in providing an accurate representation of the airspace to reduce ground to air and air to air fratricide, facilitate more effective integration of air and surface fires, extend the air defensive capability of the Naval force in the littorals and enable integrated fire control (IFC) for the Marine Corps. The funding increase from FY16 to FY17 of $3.273M is to support Common Array Block-Expeditionary (CAB-E) Antenna Engineering Development Model (EDM) developmental and field testing, which is priority due to the CAB-E being the replacement for the current Compact Solid State Antenna (CSSA) that will become obsolete by FY 2018. The increase also is for CTN to support Ground/Air Task-Oriented Radar (G/ATOR) Developmental Tests (DTs) and Operational Assessment (OA) to test its interoperability with G/ATOR, the TPS-59 Mode V antenna, and the Common Aviation Command and Control System (CAC2S). 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 Air/Ground 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). 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 Battalion-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 $1.098M from FY16 to FY17 will begin funding market research in anticipation of hardware refresh to begin in FY18. 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) 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 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 Fires Observers (JFO), Joint Terminal Attack Coordinators (JTAC), and Forward Air Controller (FAC). The RVVT family of systems is reported as an IT system in the NC36 budget submission. (RDTE: 0206313M). The decrease of $1.020M from FY16 to FY17 is due to a decreased requirement.
