Future "Battle Command Prototype" for Military Experimentation and Training

Abstract

The Army is transforming itself into a lighter, modular and more rapidly deployable force. The new Army will be capable of adjusting to a changing set of missions, ranging from warfighting to peacekeeping, as requirements dictate. Desired operational capabilities will be achieved via evolution to a System of Systems (SOS) utilizing mobile-networked command, control, communication and computer (C4) functionalities. The SOS functions include: autonomous robotic systems, precision direct and indirect fires, airborne and ground organic sensor platforms, and adverse-weather reconnaissance, surveillance, targeting and acquisition. Using modeling, simulation and experimentation will facilitate this evolution to this design. The primary focus of this paper is to provide an overview of CERDEC s Future Battle Command prototype, the Mobile Command and Control (MC2) system: its capabilities and how it is supporting Future Force M&S, experimentation and training.
