C2BMC Development and Deployment
Abstract
This activity provides funding for development and deployment of C2BMC capability Spirals that will link sensors and shooters to enable integrated BMDS capabilities. Spiral 8.2-1 supports Enhanced Homeland Defense by providing increased Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD) battlespace, Link 16 track reporting of additional sensors, enhanced sensor tasking to meet track quality and discrimination requirements to support GMD engagements. Spiral 8.2-1 also provides access to the BMDS Overhead Persistent Infra-Red (OPIR) assets and upgraded Space Based Infra-Red System (SBIRS) sensor data. Spiral 8.2-1 has completed development and is currently in verification testing to support FY 2017 fielding. Spiral 8.2-3 supports EPAA Phase 3 by providing critical sensor management and track reporting improvements supporting Aegis BMD Engage-on-Remote (EOR) functionality, improvements to OPIR-based cueing of sensors and shooters, and integration with the new Army IAMD Battle Command System (IBCS). Spiral 8.2-3 is currently in development and is scheduled for an FY 2019 delivery. Spiral 8.2-5 will integrate the Long Range Discrimination Radar (LRDR) into the BMDS. Spiral 8.2-5 is in requirements analysis and is scheduled to be fielded in the 2020 time frame. Funding for Spirals includes Prime contractor development, C2BMC Communications, C2BMC Experimentation Lab (X-Lab), and Enterprise Sensors Lab (ESL).
