Command Post Integrated Infrastructure
Abstract
Command Post is line of effort 4 of the Army Modernization strategy. Program Executive Office for Command, Control and Communications - Tactical (PEO C3T) will develop mobile Command Post solutions by integrating supporting mission command and communications systems in accordance with a Directed Requirement (14 Dec 2017) and Capability Development Document. CPI2 replaces legacy command post systems at Corps, Division, and Brigade Combat Team and below command post formations with more capable, survivable, agile, and scalable command post solutions. It will ensure information and support systems are introduced into the Command Post through physical integration allowing the commander to tailor the Command Post as missions dictate. CPI2 was established to meet the emerging threat environment to improve the survivability and mobility of current Command Posts. The Directed Requirement First Unit Equipped is in FY20. FY19 funding provides for acquiring platforms for System Design, Prototyping and integration solutions for select Mission Command Platforms (MCP) and Command Post Support Vehicles (CPSV). The CPSV is a formation appropriate vehicle that hosts mission command servers, radios, local area network systems and unified voice management capability and secure wireless in support of the Integrated Command Post at the Halt. The MCP is a formation appropriate vehicle that provides a digitally connected workspace to support commanders and staff at the Corps/Division Command Group, Main and Tactical Command Posts and at the Brigade and Battalion Command Posts and Command Groups. FY19 funding will also support the procurement of two brigade sets of coalition gateways to prototype and assess existing solutions to provide the Army a seamless information network exchanges and integration of Joint and legacy radios as an interim solution toward the future transport layer. It will provide commanders a rugged and portable air-to-ground command and control capability that enables Link 16, a simultaneous line-of-sight and/or satellite communication. The Army seeks an integrated message translation capability to form incompatible messages from disparate networks into a clear common operating picture, improving the prevention of fratricide and collateral damage while also raising ISR visibility.
