Expeditionary Army Command Post
Abstract
CPI2 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 MCP and CPSV. CPI2 capability, design, and development for the MCP and CPSV is accomplished on the FMTV platforms and shelter systems. 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. Increment 1 initiated at Milestone B (ADM signed 12 June 2021); expands on the development, prototype, and testing of the MCP/CPSV from FMTV to the formation appropriate platforms (Stryker, AMPV and JLTV) and scalable command post sets, kits and outfits that were not designed 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. The prototypes will be tested and will inform platform production decisions to align with CPI2 fieldings in future years. FY 2025 funding continues Increment 1 efforts for prototyping to evolve CPI2 designs for on the move operation of the command post. Funding also provides for testing, logistical support, and program management.
