Personnel Recovery Command and Control (PRC2)

Abstract

This budget activity funds operational development necessary to acquire, modify, and sustain a segment of Air Force's Command and Control (C2) capabilities and services associated with Personnel Recovery. The Personnel Recovery Command and Control (PRC2) program develops and delivers tools and services for planning, collaborating and managing search and rescue efforts, and disseminating related information. PRC2 provides an adaptive, networked, decentralized and situationally-appropriate personnel recovery command and control system which supports personnel accountability and recovery missions worldwide. PRC2 delivers a globally accessible, collaborative, interoperable and integrated system to prevent, prepare for and respond to isolating events across the Range of Military Operation in the joint/coalition operating environment. The system collects, stores and delivers personnel/identity biometric data, emergency locator beacon registrations, isolated personnel reports, evasion plans of action, incident reports and other information management capabilities for predictive, preventive and personnel vulnerability analysis/assessment in support of Personnel Recovery across Department of Defense and other national and international entities. Future capabilities and upgrades will incorporate several mission threads capable of sharing important data to Recovery Coordinators located in the Air Operations Center (AOC) as well as Area of Responsibility (AoR) which will expedite initial recovery planning processes. Activities also include studies and analysis to support both current program planning and execution, as well as future program planning. 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.
