Command & Control, Battle Management, Communications (C2BMC)
Abstract
The Command and Control, Battle Management and Communications (C2BMC) Program will provide the warfighter the capability to develop the plan for placement of Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) assets. During engagement, C2BMC provides the warfighter with situational awareness of all potential ballistic missile threats, and enables engagement coordination by pairing any sensor with any shooter to defeat ballistic missile threats at any range, in all theaters. The C2BMC Program will also work to increase coalition partners' capabilities. The Command and Control, Battle Management and Communications (C2BMC) Program will provide the warfighter the capability to develop the plan for placement of Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) assets. During engagement, C2BMC provides the warfighter with situational awareness of all potential ballistic missile threats, and enables engagement coordination by pairing any sensor with any shooter to defeat ballistic missile threats at any range, in all theaters. The C2BMC Program will also work to increase coalition partners' capabilities. The C2BMC Program will expand defense of the United States, allies, and deployed forces by continuing work that enables a coordinated missile defense against short- to long-range threats in multiple regions/theaters. The Discrimination Improvements for Homeland Defense (DIHD) effort will develop and field integrated Element capabilities to improve BMD System ability to identify lethal and non-lethal objects. Command and Control, Battle Management and Communications will update C2BMC sensor tasking to support the capabilities of the Near-term phase, mature advanced discrimination and battle management techniques in support of the Mid-term and Far-term capabilities, and conduct element and system level testing to support Near, and Mid-term phases. C2BMC delivers the following capabilities: BMDS planning, situational awareness, sensor management, and engagement coordination built to the approved BMDS specifications. The C2BMC program of work: - Fully integrates BMD Planner and situational awareness displays with integrated intelligence information and defended asset priority schemes - Incorporates BMDS Overhead Persistent Infra-Red (OPIR) Architecture (BOA) and Space Based Infra-Red System (SBIRS) sensor data for radar and shooter (Aegis, Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD)) cueing, allowing for earlier track acquisition for the shooters. - Updates the C2BMC model (BCM) for system-level performance assessments that have been validated against operational C2BMC performance - Provides the Distributed Training System to provide Combatant Command (COCOM) exercise and training capabilities without scheduling downtime. - Provides the Training Support System to provide COCOMs and schoolhouses with a flexible and small footprint training capability - Installs more effective network monitoring, vulnerability scanning, and computer network defense software and hardware within the C2BMC Control Center (including the BMDS Network Operations and Security Center (BNOSC)) - Implements Risk Management (RM) / Information Assurance (IA) monitoring, real time analysis, and modifications of BMD devices at all C2BMC locations - Supports system flight and ground testing in accordance with the MDA Integrated Master Test Plan (IMTP). C2BMC ELEMENT The Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) Command and Control, Battle Management and Communications (C2BMC) provides a regional situational awareness and battle management capability at Pacific Command (PACOM), Northern Command (NORTHCOM), European Command (EUCOM), Central Command (CENTCOM), and Strategic Command (STRATCOM). C2BMC will move to a blade-based computing architecture in Spiral 8.2-1 and beyond to improve reliability, maintainability, and modularity. The long-term plan for the Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) Planner is to evolve to a network enabled capability designed to interface with joint service and allied planning components. Improvements include support for rapid re-planning, enhanced mapping products and services, enhancing the interface with the Army's Air and Missile Defense Workstation (AMDWS) planner, the Navy's Maritime Integrated Air and Missile Defense Planning System (MIPS), the future Air Force Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) planner, and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) planning systems. C2BMC will evolve networked interfaces to expose data over the Secret Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPRNET) providing for display of individual weapon system engagement and coordination information resulting in an integrated common operating picture across the Combatant Commands (COCOMs). C2BMC will also implement network security hardware, software, and configuration management designed to meet Global Information Grid (GIG) SIPRNET connection security requirements. C2BMC battle management will deliver full Army Navy/Ground Transportable Radar Surveillance model 2 (AN/TPY-2) Forward Based Mode (FBM) X-Band radar sensor control and capabilities: - Improved threat object correlation which calculates a common threat track from multiple sensors through data fusion, with sufficient data accuracy and timeliness for BMDS weapon Elements to enable successful engagements via Link-16 and Extremely High Frequency (EHF) satellite communications - Improved Interface with AN/TPY-2 Forward Based Mode (FBM) to provide greater flexibility in meeting C2BMC and Weapons System needs for Engagement Quality Data supporting Remote Engagements (EOR) with Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD). - Incorporation of BMDS Overhead Persistent Infra-Red (OPIR) Architecture (BOA) and upgraded Space Based Infra-Red System (SBIRS) sensor data to enable much earlier cueing, improve threat tracking, and source information for discrimination processing. - Improved BMD system discrimination logic using multiple sensors' discrimination results, selecting the best result, and assigning object type to common threat tracks - Sensor management and weapons engagement coordination aids for Remote Engagements to direct the BMDS fight and make more efficient use of limited inventory, extending the depth of fire and increasing raid defensive capabilities C2BMC Spirals 8.2-1 and 8.2-3 Distributed Training System (DTS) planning and development enables Combatant Commands (COCOMs) to support large-scale exercises and training events without scheduling downtime of operations. The DTS will stimulate C2BMC operational screens at COCOM Air Operations Center (AOC), Maritime Operations Center (MOC), and Headquarters. Capabilities will support training with theater/regional assets and coalition partners, and updated simulations to represent current BMDS system capabilities. C2BMC Spiral 8.2-1 and Spiral 8.2-3 Training Support System (TSS) planning and development provides a flexible scenario and small footprint training system for small scale COCOM training events and schoolhouses. The TSS will integrate with Missile Warning and Air Operations Center training systems to provide an integrated training system. The Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) Communications Network ties together an expanding set of sensors and weapons systems enabling the National Command Authority and the commanders at the strategic, theater and tactical levels to optimally engage ballistic missile threats including near simultaneous theater, regional and homeland attacks. The BMD Communications Network provides a robust, end-to-end, high availability, operational communications network (COMNET) infrastructure with diverse paths that quickly and unambiguously shares information across the global Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS). This sharing of information is performed securely with special emphasis on preventing cyber attack via the C2BMC Control Center (including the BMDS Network Operations and Security Center (BNOSC)). The C2BMC system and networks are protected by layered defenses that start with circuits comprising the BMDS Communications Network (BCN) that are isolated from the known networks. Where the BCN and the known networks meet, layers of firewalls, encryption devices, routers and switches each with specific access control lists (ACLs), further protect the internal systems and allow only identified and approved users and systems access to the C2BMC data. Effective network management will coordinate and integrate across diverse equipment platforms, interface with other DoD communications systems, evolve information standards and capabilities, and adhere to the DoD Risk Management Framework (RMF). Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) services are also leveraged in providing world-wide communications. Planned improvements such as dynamic real-time network management and monitoring will enable the warfighter to monitor the connection to BMDS weapons and anticipate and remedy issues as they occur.
