Joint Battle Command - Platform (JBC-P)
Abstract
The Joint Battle Command - Platform (JBC-P) program is the cornerstone of joint forces Command and Control (C2) Situational Awareness (SA) and communications. JBC-P provides secure Blue Force Tracking capability at the Platform and Command Post levels, reducing fratricide and enabling mission accomplishment across the entire spectrum of tactical military operations. JBC-P provides continuous near-real-time identification of friendly locations to populate the tactical Common Operating Picture (COP) and enables joint, Net-Centric C2/Battle Command by seamlessly passing/sharing relevant information vertically and horizontally, within all tactical levels of command and control. The JBC-P program will field new hardware (ruggedized dismountable vehicle computer systems and ancillary equipment) and software capabilities, and will leverage the Armys previous equipment investments by installing the new JBC-P software on existing Force XXI Battle Command Brigade and Below (FBCB2) computer systems. As part of the software-focused mounted computing environment (MCE) initiative, JBC-P will continue to evolve its core system design to employ open standards, defined processes, and common lower-level software components that will allow the JBC-P core software to support future application development and interoperability among other Mission Command (MC) applications and services in the mounted tactical environment. Fiscal Year 2014 funds provide for software development, system engineering, and test and integration efforts that support the evolution of core JBC-P software to the interoperable mounted environment.
