Maritime Tactical Command & Control (MTC2)
Abstract
Maritime Tactical Command and Control (MTC2) is a next generation Command and Control (C2) software program that will deliver Battle Management Aids (BMA) and Maritime Planning Tools (MPT) to dynamically plan, direct, monitor, and assess maritime operations in support of Joint, Multi-Service, and Coalition Force planning. MTC2 leverages a System of Services to deliver capabilities improving decision speed and dynamic synchronization of forces. BMAs / MPTs are small, capability-focused deliveries that can be rapidly developed, tested, and fielded. MTC2 leverages Science and Technology (S&T) investments and engages with the Navy Requirements Governance Board (RGB) to define and prioritize the BMAs and MPTs that MTC2 will deliver and align to the Program Executive Office (PEO) Command, Control, Communications, and Intelligence (C4I) enterprise architecture (Consolidated Afloat Network Enterprise Service (CANES), Agile Core Services (ACS)) for fielding to all echelons of command (Afloat and Ashore) within the Navy. The program's objective is to provide a suite of maritime applications (BMAs / MPTs) that enable planning, execution, monitoring, and assessment in support of operational and tactical level of war requirements. MTC2 fields BMAs / MPTs designed to provide automated and structured support for tactical and operational planning, decision-making, and execution. As a software-only program that leverages enterprise infrastructure, MTC2 provides new and improved capabilities to include an Operational Planning Tool (OPT), an improved browser enabled map visualization that enables the warfighter to associate tracks to relevant data, past and predicted movements, ingest Meteorology and Oceanography information, and operational overlays. MTC2's updated architecture will enable future composable C2 capabilities to respond with a more rapid pace in changes in threats and technology. MTC2 is the Navy's solution to Global Force Management - Data Initiative (GFM-DI) which is Department of Defense (DoD) -wide enterprise solution that enables visibility/accessibility/sharing of data applicable to the entire DoD force structure. MTC2 incorporates distributed data transfer capability for enhanced operational data exchange between command and control systems, combat systems, logistics, and intelligence systems for timely threat identification, location, and status alongside blue force data. MTC2 supports alignment and provides interoperability of Navy C2 with the DoD Joint C2 way-forward. The program will fully align with Joint C2 data and service exposure and consumption goals, architectures, and Net-Centric Enterprise Service efforts. The sustainment activities include support for evolutionary acquisition, program management, training and training events, help desk, procuring software licenses, and sustainment of MTC2 Program of Record instances. FY 2024 funding will provide iterative development and delivery to targeted platforms necessary for the completion of the Navy special project. The delivery will include extended Maritime Planning Tools to support resilient Line of Sight (LoS) and Beyond Line of Sight (BLoS) communications networks, as well as Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) interfaces. MTC2 will continue executing under the Software Acquisition Pathway (SWP) and continue iterative development of MTC2 software based on the SWP Capability Needs Statement (CNS). MTC2 will continue to field Ashore/Afloat of the PoR capability to the fleet and Maritime Operations Centers (MOCs). MTC2 will continue to receive feedback from fleet users for development, integration, and testing of additional capabilities/enhancements (Battle Management Aids (BMAs) / Maritime Planning Tools (MPT)). The funding in this line also supports sustainment activities which include evolutionary acquisition and program management support, training and training events, help desk, software licenses, and sustainment of the MTC2 Program of Record.
