Missile Defense Integration & Operations Center (MDIOC) - Block 3.0

Abstract

The C2BMC Testbed located at the Missile Defense Integration and Operations Center (MDIOC) supports the program office by providing the test articles, test environment, analysis tools, and communications interfaces to conduct Element Verification, Hardware-in-the-Loop Tests, and Systems Test programs. The testbed provides systems and support to recurring warfighter training, exercises, and war-game events. In addition, the C2BMC Testbed maintains the Experimentation Laboratory (X-Lab) where advanced concepts, new technology, and risk reduction prototypes are developed and tested. The C2BMC Testbed also provides infrastructure support to the warfighter by managing the requirements and facilities for the C2BMC Control Center (CCC) and the Distributed Multi-echelon Training System (DMETS). The Joint Early Warning Laboratory (JEWL) is a computing and analysis resource located at the Missile Defense Integration and Operations Center (MDIOC). The JEWL is used by several tasks to support analysis and studies to assess and improve theater Early Warning (EW) and Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) performance. The different Technical Requirement Document (TRD) tasks using the JEWL support Missile Defense Agency (MDA), United States Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM) and Joint Integrated Air and Missile Defense Organization (JIAMDO) with resources and Subject Matter Expertise (SME)s in a wide variety of disciplines including early warning, tactical communications, data links, tactical data processors and theater EW architectures and radar Infrared (IR) integration efforts. The JEWL is the USSTRATCOM designated facility for testing all changes or additions to the Theater Event System (TES) architecture. JEWL replicates all known theater EW architecture and maintains a replay capability for fault isolation, anomaly identification, and can modify data to isolate anomalies. JEWL supports BMD system by providing timely analysis and comparisons of BMD and legacy EW data. Quick Reports and Comparison Reports provide C2BMC Directorate timely insight into the Overhead Persistent Infrared (OPIR) data provided to C2BMC by ground processors and C2BMC reporting. The JEWL brings together the technical and operational EW communities.
