JOINT BATTLE COMMAND - PLATFORM (JBC-P)
Abstract
Joint Battle Command - Platforms (JBC-P), which includes Blue Force Tracking (BFT) and Army Aviation, provides true Joint force Command and Control (C2) Situational Awareness (SA) and communications (e.g., terrestrial, celestial) capability at the platform level through command center locations (e.g., Network Operations Centers (NOC), Tactical Operation Centers (TOCs), Brigade Command Posts) and enables mission accomplishment across the entire spectrum of military operations. JBC-P serves as the cornerstone for Joint Blue Force Situational Awareness (JBFSA). It provides continuous near-real-time identification of friendly locations to populate the Joint Common Operating Picture (JCOP). JBC-P enhances Joint Combat Identification to increase combat effectiveness and reduce fratricide in a secure environment. It enables Joint, Net-Centric Command and Control (C2)/Battle Command by seamlessly passing/sharing relevant information vertically and horizontally, within all levels of command, regardless of Service unit hierarchy. In addition to utilizing the FBCB2/BFT system, JBC-P system hardware consists of a family of computers (e.g., handhelds, tablets, ruggedized computers, beacons, and in-dash computers), communications equipment (e.g., satellite transceivers/antennas), encryption devices (e.g., KGV-72), and ancillary equipment (e.g., Mission Data Loader, Disc Duplicator, cables, installation kits, etc.). JBC-P RDTE Funding began in FY10. FY10 RDTE funding is shown in Program Element (654805) and Project No. (589). Beginning in FY11, JBC-P RDTE funding will be shown in this Program Element (654805) and Project No. (593).
