Multi Domain Command and Control (MDC2)
Abstract
In FY 2019, Multi-Domain Command and Control (MDC2) Development was a new start in PE 0207410F, AOC, Project Number 674596, AOC WS Mods. Multi-Domain Command and Control (MDC2) is a multi-node concept which connects existing DevOps environments in order to achieve MDC2 objectives. It serves as a warfighter-centric focal point for USAF-organic rapid software development, experimentation, testing, and operationalization of MDC2 capabilities. It will explore advanced technology and leverage agile acquisition to rapidly operationalize MDC2 tools and capabilities. Experimentation to shape the future MDC2 network capability through data virtualization. The ShadowNet is a multi-node concept unifying software development with operators in order to achieve MDC2 objectives. It serves as a warfighter-centric focal point for USAF, Joint and coalition by rapidly developing capability and testing future multi-domain concepts. In FY 2020, the Air Force will develop a MDC2 capability to provide warfighters and support elements across all services and domains a common C2 platform from which disparate data sources may be leveraged and cross-domain effects may be synchronized. This common platform expands on the Kessel Run Air Operations Center platform and is undergirded by the creation of an enterprise data lake and an experimentation campaign focused on testing and developing enterprise solutions for the common enablers of data, network, and link capability. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver MDC2 capabilities. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program elements 0605826F, 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605830F, 0605831F, 0605832F, and 0605898F. As directed in the FY 2018 NDAA, Sec 825, amendment to PL 114-92 FY 2016 NDAA, Sec 828 Penalty for Cost Overruns, the FY 2018 Air Force penalty total is $14.373M. The calculated percentage reduction to each research, development, test and evaluation and procurement account will be allocated proportionally from all programs, projects, or activities under such account. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.
