Applications Development

Abstract

Command and Control, Incident Management, Emergency Response Application (C2IMERA) is a C2 system that addresses installation commanders' and staff's ability to support Airfield, Flight and Emergency 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 myriad 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.) 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. No Budget Year FY22 funding requested; FY22 project efforts are detailed in PE 0207522F, Airbase Air Defense Systems. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability. The use of such programs funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, 0606398F. In FY21 $0.00M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY22 $0.00M is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element. 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.
