Expeditionary Army Command Post
Abstract
This funding line is directly aligned to the Army Network, Modernization Priority 1. This funding line is directly aligned to the Army Network Modernization Strategy Line of Effort (LOE) #4 Command Post. The Command Post Integrated Infrastructure (CPI2) program addresses the Army requirements for more mobile, scalable, interoperable, and agile command posts. Currently fielded command posts are 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 onto 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) hosted on formation appropriate platforms for Corps and Div. The MCG provides Commanders and Staff with the ability to employ high priority functions while on the move. Increment 0 experimentation will design and prototype a MCP and CPSV capability for two Brigade Combat teams (BCT's), a Division Main, and a Division MCG. Increment 0 focuses on 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 MCP and CPSV prototypes were evaluated and tested via 3 Operational Assessments which provided soldier feedback and data to inform an Increment 0 Milestone C 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 how best to execute CPI2 at the Division Main. Increment 1 initiated at Milestone B (ADM signed June 2021); with a focus on the development and prototype/testing of the MCP/CPSV/MCG for formation-appropriate platforms (Stryker, AMPV and JLTV) that were not addressed in Increment 0. 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 2023 funding will support continuing efforts for the design, development, prototyping, and testing of CPI2 MCP/CPSV capabilities on or in formation appropriate platforms for Stryker, AMPV and JTLV. Funding also provides for acquisition of equipment to support product development, testing, logistical support and program management.
