COMMAND POST COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT (CPCE)
Abstract
The Common Operating Environment (COE) is an approved set of computing technologies and standards that enables secure and interoperable applications to be developed and executed rapidly across a variety of computing environments (i.e., server(s), client, mobile, sensors, and platform). The Command Post Computing Environment (CPCE) is one of the six computing environments under the COE, which provides the movement and maneuver applications, common computing services such as Cyber tools and e-mail, and includes tactical server capabilities within Command Posts at all echelons (Battalion to Army Service Component Commander). Command Post Computing Environment (CPCE) supports the Army Network Modernization Strategy Line of Effort 2, Common Operating Environment The CPCE implements an integrated, interoperable, cyber-secure, cost-effective software infrastructure that serves as the host for a unified set of multiple warfighting functional applications within the command post. This software infrastructure will be central to the COE, allowing interoperability between command posts, mounted platforms, and dismounted handheld devices while supporting collaboration using a common picture with Joint and Unified Action partners. CPCE will provide a core software infrastructure including a common operating picture (COP) tool, common look and feel (user interface), common data strategy, interoperable tactical messaging/chat, and essential movement and maneuver capabilities. CPCE software infrastructure and applications will reside on Tactical Server Infrastructure (TSI) hardware and previously fielded BCCS/TSI servers. The CPCE eliminates "stove-piped" legacy systems, duplicative or redundant implementations, simplifies future application development efforts, and enhances interoperability and data sharing across multiple echelons. Acquisition Goals of the CPCE include: Acquisition Agility, Open System Architectures, Reduced Life Cycle Costs, and a Cyber-Hardened Foundation for applications and services. The initial version of CPCE completed Initial Operational Test and Evaluation at NIE 18.2 in November 2018, a Fielding / Software Deployment decision is targeted for 2QFY19 along with entering the acquisition life cycle. The new program of record will be comprised of the tactical server infrastructure, Mission Command software infrastructure, and movement/maneuver Warfighting function applications. First Unit Equipped in 4QFY19. Requirements for the CPCE are established in the AROC approved COE Information Systems Initial Capability Document (IS ICD) and the CPCE Requirements Definition Package (RDP).
