Maritime Tactical Command & Control (MTC2)

Abstract

Maritime Tactical Command and Control (MTC2) is a software program which will provide tactical Command and Control (C2) capabilities in addition to supporting Maritime unique Operational Level of War capabilities not supported by the Joint C2 Program, to all echelons of command within the Navy. The goal is to provide a means for Naval commanders at the Operational Level of War (OLW), Fleet Numbered Commanders, Naval Joint Task Force (JTF), Joint Force Maritime Component Commander (JFMCC), and subordinate commanders, Cruiser-Strike Group (CSG) Commanders, Naval Expeditionary Force Commanders, Amphibious Task Force (ATF)/Landing Force Commanders, Destroyer Squadron (DESRON) Commanders, and individual platform commanders) to deploy personnel and equipment through a set of requisite tools that enable the Navy command structure to plan, execute, monitor, and assess its mission requirements. War fighter capabilities defined in Naval Warfare Publication 3-32, 5-01 and Joint Publications 5.0 require a path for maritime-unique tactical (C2) capabilities at all levels of war. This dedicated program will enable the evolutionary acquisition of maritime-unique (C2) capabilities towards the Services Oriented Architecture standards being adopted. It will provide continual increased functional capability, war fighter effectiveness and Commander control for management of tactical forces in all levels of war. MTC2 will fully align and support DoD Joint C2 data and service exposure and consumption goals, architectures and Net-Centric Enterprise Services efforts. MTC2 will be software only, and require the Navy Common Computing Enterprise (CCE) provided by Integrated Shipboard Network System (ISNS), Consolidated Afloat Network Enterprise Service (CANES), Navy/Marines Corps Intranet (NMCI), Overseas Navy Enterprise Network (ONE-NET), Next Generation Enterprise Network (NGEN), and Joint Worldwide Intelligence Communications Systems (JWICS) to serve as the underlying information technology infrastructure of network and hardware for MTC2 software.
