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 in Platforms and Command Posts, providing soldiers and commanders a map-based Common Operating Picture of the battlefield, and as a result, reducing fratricide. As part of the Army's Common Operating Environment (COE) Architecture initiative, developed to standardize end-user environments and enable streamlined deployment of new warfighting applications, JBC-P serves a primary role as the basis of the Mounted Computing Environment (MCE), one of six (6) environments within the COE framework. Future development of the Mounted CE will leverage JBC-P hardware and software to consolidate and integrate multiple warfighting systems in the Platform (Mounted) environment. This integrated Mounted CE, with its open standards, enhanced interoperability, and simplified end-user interface will speed delivery of new Mission Command applications to the warfighter while improving the effectiveness and value of current systems. MCE efforts will transfer from PE 0604805 Project 593 to PE 0604818 Project EJ5 in FY 2016. Fiscal Year 2016 funding provides Software Design and Development, System Engineering, associated Test and Integration, and Program Management that supports the underlying JBC-P baseline and CDD threshold requirements.
