MOUNTED COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT (MCE)
Abstract
The MCE is one of the six computing environments (CEs) formalized by the AAE under the Common Operating Environment (COE). The effort was established by the AAE Directive to Program Executive Offices dated 20 December 2011. MCE standardizes end-user environments and enables streamlined deployment of new warfighting applications. The Joint Battle Command - Platform (JBC-P) is the foundational element and core software platform of the MCE. Future development of the MCE will continue to leverage JBC-P hardware and software to consolidate and integrate multiple warfighting systems in the Platform (Mounted) environment. This integrated MCE, with its open standards, enhanced interoperability, and simplified end-user interface will speed delivery of new Mission Command applications to the warfighter while improving the effectiveness and value of current systems. Requirements for the MCE are established in the AAE Directive Memo, the JBC-P Capability Development Document (CDD), and in the Mounted Computing Environment Information System Initial Capabilities Document (MCE IS ICD) (DRAFT). FY 2016 funding provides the means to continue to manage and develop MCE, which has a larger horizontal scope than the foundational element (JBC-P), as it specifically works toward achieving CE and COE goals.
