Small Unit Expeditionary Mission Command Research
Abstract
This effort investigates and designs components of agile, modular, non-traditional Command Post platforms designed to enable the mission command network, supporting decentralized and distributed mission command operations in the future operating environment. Investigates material node platforms and other component concepts supporting rapid emplacement and displacement with enhanced survivability, mobility, signature management protection, and secured/non-degraded communication capabilities. Investigates and conducts experiments to validate component performance in a multi-domain battle operations. The large-footprint and logistics-intensive nature of current mission command systems compromise Soldier Lethality and mission effectiveness and do not provide the enhanced mobility and protection necessary to effectively execute mission command operations in the extremely expeditionary, multi-domain environment of the future. This research effort will enable tactical leaders to make timely decisions, integrate more seamlessly into the battlefield through a decrease in size, signature, and logistics burden, and will increase both maneuverability and survivability by enabling the development of agile Command Posts that support Multi-Domain Operations.
