Expeditionary Army Command Post
Abstract
This funding line is directly aligned to the Army Network Modernization Strategy Line of Effort (LOE) #4 Command Post. Efforts are aligned to support the Network-Cross Functional Team capability set approach to achieve the network modernization strategy. The Command Post Integrated Infrastructure (CPI2) program addresses the Army requirements for a more mobile, scalable, interoperable, and agile command posts. Currently fielded command posts are deemed too large and take too long to setup and teardown making them vulnerable to near peer detection and targeting technologies. By integrating mission command warfighting functions on to formation appropriate vehicle platforms, a dispersed command post construct will enable the battle staff to blend in with the overall maneuver formation while giving the commander the ability to synchronize the close fight on the move. This dispersed mobile command post consists of Mission Command Platforms (MCPs) and Command Post Support Vehicles (CPSVs). The MCP is a formation appropriate vehicle that provides digital workstations for all mission command warfighting functions. The CPSV is the hub of the dispersed command post; it hosts mission command servers, radios, local area network components and a secure wireless capability. Specific to Corps/Div, CPI2 will provide a Mobile Command Group (MCG) consisting of formation- appropriate platforms that supports Corps/Div Commanders/Staff with high priority functions while on the move. Increment 0 experimentation will design and prototype an MCP and CPSV capability for two Brigade Combat teams (BCT's), a Division Main and Division MCG. Increment 0 focuses on the integrating CPI2 MCP and CPSV capability on the Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV) platforms and shelter systems to provide mobile capability and increased survivability to the Command Post. The BCT designs will be tested to solicit soldier feedback and inform an Increment 0 Milestone C production decision for a limited production set of 5 BCTs. Division Main and Division MCG tests will inform Inc 1 designs and potentially drive future requirement updates as to how best to execute CPI2 at the Division Main. Increment 1 will expand CPI2 capability entering at Milestone B by focusing on the development and prototype and testing of the MCP/CPSV/MCG for formation-appropriate platforms (Stryker, AMPV and JLTV ) that were not addressed in Increment 0. The production decision at Increment 1 Milestone C will support the CPI2 Capability Development Document (CDD) requirement to field CPI2 capability to 86 Army units. These combined capabilities will enable the Army to employ command posts across the operational spectrum, from early entry to major combat operations that will resolve current command post issues with set up and tear down, survivability, mobility, suitability and footprint. FY 2022 funding will support design/development/prototyping of the MCP/CPSV on the formation appropriate platforms for Stryker, AMPV, JTLV using their existing contracts. Other efforts include prototype design and test for a Towable Expeditionary Shelter System (TESS) for use at Division and Corps. Funds execute engineering changes based on soldier feedback from Operational Assessments, acquisition of equipment to support product development, testing, logistical support and program management.
