MOUNTED BATTLE COMMAND ON-THE-MOVE (MBCOTM)
Abstract
The Mounted Battle Command On The Move System (MBCOTM) is a Command, Control, Computers, Communications, Intelligence (C4I) mission equipment package (B Kit) integrated onto Bradley, Stryker and Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) platforms which allows commanders to move to the decisive point on the battlefield. The focus of MBCOTM is to facilitate commander execution of net centric operations versus command post centric operations. MBCOTM provides the battlefield Commander situational awareness in the form of a digital common operational picture, enabling a Commander to maintain situational understanding while On The Move and when physically separated from the fixed Command Post performing Battlefield circulation. MBCOTM supports the mission area command and control by integrating network and SATCOM enablers to include components resident in the WIN-T Increment 2 architecture, as well as a number of Battelfield Automated Systems including Command Post of the Future (CPoF). MBCOTM program is being terminated as a result of competing fiscal priorities during the development of the FY 2011 President's Budget. The termination plan has been signed by Program Executive Office for Command, Control and Communications - Tactical (PEO C3T) and is currently at Headquarters, Department of the Army (HQ DA).
