Joint Battle Command - Platform (JBC-P)
Abstract
This Project supports the JBC-P and MMC FoS programs that are the cornerstone of Joint Forces command and control situational awareness and communications, and include networks that enable the movement of data and provide a secure BFT capability in both platforms and command posts. This capability provides soldiers and commanders a near real-time map-based view of the battlefield, reducing fratricide and populating the Tactical Common Operating Picture. Modernization of the JBC-P capability will be accomplished via the MMC FoS approach to maximize development flexibility and support incremental JBC-P capability improvements over time. The MMC FoS addresses the BFT-3 effort under the MMC-T program and the next generation software development under MMC-S (previously captured in the MCE funding line); planning is underway for future MMC FoS programs to address compute and store requirements. The MMC-T program continues development of the next generation BFT capabilities (BFT-3), including electronic warfare (EW) and cyber resiliency using a modular open systems approach, developing the next generation BFT-3 transceiver and encryption device, which will provide the Warfighter with multiple avenues to transmit voice/data information while increasing EW and cyber resiliency. The MMC-S program continues next generation software development that facilitates convergence of WfF applications into the MCE infrastructure, as well as developing smart routing processes that will use the BFT-3 network, along with leveraging all available networks in the platform. MMC-S will improve upon existing JBC-P capability and prepare the software to host applications (apps) developed by external programs to provide robust WfF capabilities within the MCE. FY 2024 funding supports MMC-T development and systems engineering efforts to continue the transceiver and encryption device prototype development. MMC-T development activities will include the integration of the BFT waveform and terrestrial radio line of sight waveform on the transceiver; integration of the transceiver and encryption device to each mounted platform; and interoperability with the BFT-2 Satellite Network Control Center (SNCC) and Satellite Ground Station (SGS). FY 2024 funding supports MMC-S software and infrastructure development to facilitate convergence of WfF applications and smart routing capabilities as part of the next MMC-S release. MMC- S activities will include development of the MCE infrastructure to host WfF apps; continued DevOps and a Developmental Test; an Operational Test to support a Fielding Decision; an Army Interoperability Certification Test; and interface development to Integrated and Firing Platforms.
