MOUNTED COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT (MCE)

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 Mounted Computing Environment (MCE) is one of six computing environments under the COE, which provides standardization of end-user environments and enables streamlined deployment of new warfighting applications while leveraging existing hardware under the Joint Battle Command-Platform (JBC-P) program. The Mounted Computing Environment supports the Army Network Modernization Strategy Line of Effort 2, Common Operating Environment by utilizing: - Interoperable data, message, and waveforms - Sensors and applications that enable operations across domains - Integration with Joint C4ISR and strike capabilities Requirements for the MCE are established in the Army Requirements Oversight Council (AROC)-approved COE Information Systems Initial Capability Document (IS ICD) and the Mounted Computing Environment Requirements Definition Package (RDP). FY20 funding provides the means to continue to manage and develop MCE in concert with the Army's future COE strategy. Mounted Computing Environment RDT&E resources are used to improve and add software applications while JBC-P RDT&E is used to improve JBC-P hardware, network performance and add network resiliency.
