Applications Development

Abstract

Command and Control, Incident Management, Emergency Response Application (C2IMERA) is a C2 system that addresses installation commanders' and staffs' ability to execute daily C2 and Air Operations. C2IMERA funds provide enhanced installation command and control to improve decision speed, quality, and lethality by incorporating direct user feedback, connecting people, automating daily operations, and integrating data from a myriad of systems. C2IMERA receives input from users and system interfaces, and displays data on the real-time, interactive Common Operating Picture (COP) and consolidated dashboards. C2IMERA also provides a theater level, Higher Headquarters module to aggregate theater-wide installation to provide real-time awareness of critical data. C2IMERA provides automated communications via the COP, automated emails, notifications, and alerts, alleviating the need for briefings, meetings, and radio communication(s). The C2IMERA operational concept has three capability areas: • C2 collaboration across the Wing - operate/fight the base • Wing Situational Awareness • Wing Collaboration/reporting to HHQ (i.e., AOC, AFFOR, Command Center etc.) As part of C2IMERA emergency management, Disaster Response Force Common Operating Picture (DRF COP) funds identify and/or develop, implement, and maintain a standardized, singular, and near real-time situational awareness COP for Air Force disaster response forces. DRF COP supports incidents or events at the tactical, operational, and strategic level, allowing information to be shared and exchanged across the Air Force enterprise and other relevant external agencies within the Continental United States (CONUS) and Outside the Continental United States (OCONUS) Air Force Installations. Requirements include Command and Control Operations Career Field (1C3X1) community as the core Installation C2 node, supporting Base Operations, Mission Management and Monitoring, Higher Headquarters Information Exchange Requirements (IERs), Emergency Action Messaging, Situation Reports (SITREP) automation, and other key enablers supporting the operational concept. C2IMERA FY23 funds will support the Agile Dev Ops development of enhanced architecture to make C2IMERA more scalable, add additional integrations and enhance data automation. This includes architecting the application to operate in Degraded, Disconnected, Intermittent and Low-Bandwidth (D-DIL) environments to support key operational concepts such as Agile Combat Employment. This program is part of the overarching Kessel Run portfolio. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver C2IMERA weapon system capability. The use of such programs funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605831F. In FY19 $00.000M, in FY20 $00.000M, and in FY21 $00.000M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element. 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 2019 Air Force penalty total is $50.0M. 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.
