COMMAND POST COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT (CPCE)

Abstract

This funding line is directly aligned to the Army Network Cross Functional Team. Efforts are aligned with the Army Network Modernization Strategy Line of Effort (LOE) 2, Common Operating Environment (COE). Command Post Computing Environment (CPCE) implements an integrated, interoperable, cyber-secure, software infrastructure that serves as the host for a unified set of multiple warfighting functional applications within the command post at echelons Battalion to Army Service Component Command (ASCC); eliminating "stove-piped" enduring systems, duplicative or redundant implementations, simplifying future application development efforts, and enhancing interoperability and data sharing across multiple echelons. The CPCE software infrastructure and applications reside on Tactical Server Infrastructure (TSI) hardware and BCCS/TSI servers previously fielded under the TMC/MCS program of record. CPCE/TSI provides the hardware infrastructure to host capabilities, such as movement and maneuver applications, network enabling tools (i.e. Cyber Situational Understanding and Tactical Defensive Cyber Operation Infrastructure) and warfighting function applications. This software infrastructure provides the Army's Common Operating Picture (COP) solution, allowing interoperability between command posts, mounted platforms, and dismounted handheld devices while supporting collaboration with Joint and Unified Action partners. CPCE provides common look and feel (user interface), common data strategy, interoperable tactical messaging/ chat, and essential warfighting capabilities. FY 2023 funding will extend the capabilities of the CPCE software infrastructure, and support Capability Set 23 (CS23) by bringing additional warfighting function capabilities, and is focused primarily on the future Data Fabric and the convergence of existing command post capabilities managed by Army programs of record. Improvements to the CPCE infrastructure to accommodate enduring system integration will be prioritized. Additionally, as part of Increment 2 and CS23, multiple Science and Technology efforts will reach Technology Readiness Level 6 and will be integrated and tested for inclusion into the CPCE architecture. Continued RDTE efforts will include ongoing development in the area of data fabric, including ingress/egress, persistence (storage), access control and management, and querying.
