Production/Field Coordination for Capability Sets
Abstract
This project provides for the development of a coordinated plan for the Production (Integrating components onto vehicle systems) and Fielding (logistics and training) of those Brigade components (both hardware/software in A and/or B Kits) and Division/Corps components (used primarily on the Command Post computing environment) that successfully passed the Network Integration Evaluation (NIE) and have been certified as interoperable for fielding through Army Interoperability Certification events and were approved by the Army's Leadership to be incorporated in subsequent Tactical Capability Sets (TCS). This project request funds for the coordination of the required activity plan with the applicable Program of Records (PEOs/PMs). This project does not fund the actual production, integration, nor fielding costs associated with the Tactical Capability Set. This project includes government and contractor efforts to integrate and validate that the Army is fielding platforms, components and software that are integrated together to provide increased capabilities for the soldier that are supportable and trainable. This project includes the following efforts: Provides oversight and direct coordination between participating PEOs, PMs, RDECOMs and the Army's Brigade Combat Teams (BCT) receiving the Tactical Capability Set package, throughout all phases of the Vehicle Integration and Synchronized Fielding process. This begins with strategic design development and coordination and configuration management of the integrated network components onto weapon systems. This includes the Tactical Capability Set's Network Architecture Design and the final Tactical Capability Set Configuration, the design, development and production of each product's "Integration Kit" (IK), the design, development and production of each platform's A-Kit, the synchronized integration of all products onto the Brigade Combat Team's war fighting platforms. This project also includes the direct support during each of the unit's "New Equipment Training" and "New Equipment Fielding", along with the preparation for the BTC's rotation through one of the Army's Combat Training Centers, (Joint Readiness Training Center (JRTC) or National Training Center (NTC). Upon completion of the Combat Training Center (CTC) rotation the support teams provide oversight to ensure that all training assets are reset and moved to the follow-on BCT and that all After Action activities are closed out. This project also includes coordination with DA staff for synchronization of NIE with Integration and Interoperability events leading to Army Interoperability Certification and coordinating mission command Army Interoperability Certification (AIC) baseline to support fielding. The FY 2014 funding is supporting the TCS fielding in CY 2014 and also conducting the planning for TCS 15 through the POM. During FY 2014 the Army's plan is to conduct four (4) Capability Set-Sync Fielding events utilizing two TCS-SF teams.
