Advanced Battle Management System
Abstract
ABMS leverages and complements ongoing efforts and emerging technologies across services, agencies, laboratories, and industry partners. The hardware development approach is based on continuous integration and delivery of incremental capability improvement over time, with emphasis on open and modular systems that can be rapidly transitioned and widely deployed. Software will be deployed using a development/security/operations (DevSecOps) approach with multiple partners. Key points of emphasis include open and reusable software, cloud deployments for scaling and data management, and cyber resiliency. The DevSecOps approach directed by DoD facilitates integration efforts by traditional and non-traditional software providers, with or without prime contractor involvement. ABMS executes onramp events with a COCOM sponsor every four months. These events show proposed technical solutions across the ABMS product lines, demonstrate capabilities being developed in an operationally-relevant scenario, and have the potential to generate leave-behind capabilities if requested. The participating platforms and COCOMs will vary from event to event. Capabilities developed in the ABMS portfolio will be presented at onramp events as they become ready for demonstration, with multiple capabilities being demonstrated at each event. Each event informs the next development sprint as well as future events while also reducing technology risk. This approach also facilitates rapid integration by making the technology visible and performing initial operationally-relevant testing for a broad COCOM audience. Specific event costs are contained in the JADC2 PE 3040115F (BPAC 673380), formerly known as MDC2, while development costs are contained in the ABMS PE.
