Common Mission Computing and Displays (CMCD)
Abstract
The Common Mission Computing and Displays (CMCD) program enables the development, procurement, integration, test and fielding of common capabilities through the use of commercial off the shelf mission computing and displays products as part of the CMCD family of systems across multiple platforms. As part of CMCD, the Mission Computer Alternative (MCA) provides for a current state technology common mission computing baseline across multiple legacy aircraft platforms to include the T-45 Goshawk, F/A-18E/F, EA-18G and E-2D Hawkeye. MCA allows for Technology Refresh and cyber protection activities to be conducted throughout the life cycle of the mission computer in the Multi-Use Laboratory Environment (MULE) in a proactive manner. The MULE will also evaluate cyber solutions in accordance with the processes defined in the Risk Management Framework for cyber protections. Mission Computer Alternative (MCA) will enable platforms to remain relevant and quickly gain a tactical edge with new capabilities without waiting years for the traditional mission computer redesign, test and fielding process. Also, part of the CMCD program is the Common Display Alternatives (CDA) initiative to increase pilot tactical and situational awareness and improve the man-machine interface for naval aviators. The CDA initiative evaluates military aircraft platform requirements and commercial aircraft display products for applicability to those military aircraft platforms. Commercial displays are known for their high reliability and the incorporation of the latest technologies.
