Ballistic Missile Defense C2BMC Block 3.0
Abstract
Based on the Missile Defense Agency`s defined architectures and system specifications, the Command and Control, Battle Management and Communications (C2BMC) Program will provide the warfighter the capability to plan the Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) fight while concurrently tracking all potential ballistic missile threats, and pairing any sensor with any shooter to defeat ballistic missile threats at any range, in any phase, in all theaters. The C2BMC Program will also work to increase coalition partners` capabilities. To expand defense of the United States to include limited Iranian long-range threats, C2BMC goals are to deliver: Fully integrated BMD Planner and situational awareness displays with integrated intelligence information and defended asset priority schemes Initial interfaces between weapons and sensors compatible with DoD network-centric service-oriented architecture - network enabled command and control Northern Command (NORTHCOM) and European Command (EUCOM) expansion of Global Engagement Manager (GEM) Incorporation of BMDS Overhead Persistent Infra-Red (OPIR) Architecture (BOA) sensor data for radar cueing Update C2BMC model (BCM), continuously validated by Critical Engagement Conditions (CECs), for system-level performance assessment to verify models and simulations Improved network monitoring and computer network defense at the BMDS Network Operations and Security Center (BNOSC) Incorporate emerging Enhanced C2BMC advanced technologies into the C2BMC architecture Robust secure Information Assurance (IA) architecture C2BMC ELEMENT The BMD Planner will evolve to a net centric capability and add integrated air and missile defense capability. The system will be designed to interface with the service components and their evolving systems and enable cross planning between the Combatant Commanders. The Planner will continue to initialize the Global Engagement Manager (GEM) capability as it comes on line and will continue to be the initialization source for situational awareness. Situational Awareness (SA) improvements include the migration to network centric command and control which is tied to evolving Department of Defense command and control architectures. Other improvements include a Regional Summary Screen combining Combatant Command (COCOM) and GEM information, enhanced Protection Capability (PROCAP) to give the warfighter an assessment of how the BMDS architecture is protecting a specific defended area by a display of individual weapon system engagements and information coordination with updates of command authority decision information (Essential Elements of Information), display of debris fields (consequence management) based on Element provided data. The result will be an integrated common operating picture across the Combatant Commands. C2BMC will evolve SA capability on network enabled command and control to reduce hardware footprint and expand SA to additional users. C2BMC battle management, via the GEM, delivers Common X-Band radar (AN/TPY-2 and Sea-Based X-Band) sensor control and capabilities for the following Unifying Missile Defense Functions (UMDFs), which are included in BMDS Integrated Build D approved content. Improved threat/object correlation, by accounting for sensor bias and threat features to calculate a common threat track from multiple sensors, incorporation of BMDS Overhead Non-imaging Infra-Red (OPIR) Architecture (BOA) and Space Based Infra-Red System (SBIRS) (Increment 2) sensor data for improved radar cueing, and improved engageable system threat tracks, that has sufficient Quality of Service (QoS) -that is, sufficient data accuracy and low enough latency- for BMDS Element`s fire control to enable successful ballistic missile engagements, for regional elements via Link-16 and EHF (e.g., Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) and Aegis BMD) and Ground Based Midcourse Defense (GMD) Fire Control (GFC) Integrated BMDS system discrimination via data fusion Sensor registration to assess the quality of radar data received in the BMDS System track generation and publishing to all BMDS Elements using multiple (geographically filterable) sensors, with an ability to create a Target Object Map for use in the GMD interceptor end-game Sensor management and weapons engagement coordination aids to direct the BMDS fight and make efficient use of limited inventory Engagement direction with sensor-weapon system target pairing BMDS battle management will operate in two regions as well as across regions while providing global situational awareness. The BMD Communications Network portion of C2BMC includes upgrades to the Parallel Staging Network, a dedicated Secret Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPRNET) point-of-presence for greater network service and security, computer network defense, and continued improvement in network monitoring for information assurance via the BMDS Network Operations and Security (BNOSC). Development, construction and integration of the BMDS Communications System Complex-Transportable (BCSC-T), High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) Based Communications Node (HBCN), and C2BMC Deployable Interface Node (CDIN) also continue. The BCSC-T is a relocatable standardized communication complex. The HBCN and CDIN are both a rapidly deployable standardized communication complex. The BCSC-T, CDIN, and HBCN provide terrestrial communication control functionalities as well as satellite communications and power supply system. Common threat engineering efforts begin in FY 2010. Threat engineering produces common and consistent adversary trajectory and signature data and directly supports the development of BMD System architecture, BMD Specification, and execution of the Integrated Master Test Plan (IMTP). These BMDS common threat data are updated to reflect the latest intelligence community assessments of adversary capabilities and are contained in the Adversary Data Packages (ADP) for BMDS Builds and drives BMDS ground tests, flight tests, digital simulation, and pre- and post-mission analysis activities. Matured capability will be included in Spirals 6.4D and then delivered to the field for concurrent development testing and operational use. SITE ACTIVATION C2BMC capabilities (hardware and software) will be deployed to Northern Command (NORTHCOM), Strategic Command (STRATCOM), Pacific Command (PACOM), European Command (EUCOM), and Central Command (CENTCOM) with existing sites receiving upgrades as needed. A Global Engagement Manager (GEM) suite will be deployed in EUCOM with back-up suite added. Deployment to these Combatant Commands continues to expand the BMDS on a global scale, providing increased protection to the U.S., and its friends and Allies. Current capability will expand with numerous BMD Planner, web browser, and Enterprise Workstation installations per warfighter requirements. Site Activation also includes participation in planning for future BMDS operations and site installations.
