Command and Control Rapid Prototyping Continuum (C2RPC): The Framework for Achieving a New C2 Strategy
Abstract
The U.S. Navy is undergoing a major Command and Control (C2) transformation to meet changes in its operational commitments and to ensure that necessary operational information (12) is delivered to the "right person, at the right time, and in the right way." Almost a decade after the terrorist attacks on 9-11, Navy missions have expanded to include such unconventional warfare areas as counterterrorism, counterinsurgency, information operations, security cooperation, humanitarian relief, and civil-military operations. To meet these additional missions, the Navy increasingly needs to interoperate with other U.S. military services, U.S. governmental agencies, and a diverse list of international partners. In this new environment, Information and Intelligence (12) have become core war-fighting enablers. The Command and Control Rapid Prototyping Continuum (C2RPC) is a new initiative designed to produce enhanced operational concepts and capabilities and establishes a technology readiness venue for piloting new C2 capability increments at selected operational commands. C2RPC is a jointly-funded, cooperative effort spearheaded by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) and Program Executive Office for Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (PEO C4I), in cooperation with Commander, U.S. Pacific Fleet (COMPACFLT).
