Air Ops Cmd & Control (C2) Sys
Abstract
Combat Operations Center (COC) - AN/TSQ-239 (V)1-4 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 $0.807M from FY17 to FY18 will fund market research for hardware refresh beginning in FY18. 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 decrease of $3.697M from FY17 to FY18 is due to fully funding Common Array Block - Expeditionary (CAB-E) antenna integration into the CTN system in FY17. 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). 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. The increase of $3.306M from FY17 to FY18 is due to the initiation of funding in support of Air Force led Command and Control Air Operation System - Command and Control Information Services (C2AOS-C2IS) requirements. USMC is funding participation in the Air Force's test events to ensure USMC requirements are being implemented as C2AOS-C2IS will be the replacement for Air Force TBMCS. C2AOS-C2IS - is an ACAT III, post Milestone B, Air Force led program. C2AOS-C2IS will bring increased capability to the Operating Forces with a modern services based infrastructure and modern applications. C2AOS-C2IS provides additional tools to conduct: Situational Awareness and Assessment; Airspace De-confliction; Execution Management and Re-planning; Close Air Support; Targeting/Weaponeering; and Time Critical Targeting. Software development and sustainment keeps Marine Aviation relevant and operational in a joint theater. USMC risk reduction efforts include conducting Critical Analysis/Map Abstraction Layer implementation and assessment and Risk Reduction Testing. 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). MACCS RDT&E funding is not required after FY15 and is no longer included in Project Element 0206313M beginning in FY16.
