JOINT BATTLE COMMAND - PLATFORM (JBC-P)
Abstract
Joint Battle Command - Platform (JBC-P) 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. JBC-P will develop new hardware items and software capabilities designed to run on existing Force XXI Battle Command Brigade and Below (FBCB2) systems, thus reducing the Army's investment in new hardware. The new JBC-P hardware includes: ruggedized remoteable vehicle computers (tablets), dismounted devices for use with tablets, one way beacons, and ancillary equipment (e.g., Secure Mission Data Loader (SMDL), cables, installation kits, etc.). Fiscal Year 2013 funds provide for the completion of software products for the Army's Capability Set 13-14 fieldings and system/software requirements analysis and system architecture definition for the Army's Capability Set 15-16 products. Efforts include system/software engineering, software development, testing and project management.
