Command & Control, Battle Management, Communications (C2BMC)
Abstract
This project funds the development, deployment and operational support of C2BMC capabilities required for BMDS planning, situational awareness, sensor management, and engagement coordination. C2BMC capabilities are traceable to baselined BMDS specifications and Element specifications to ensure the BMDS functions as an integrated system. C2BMC development activities culminate in three key events: simulation-based verification focused on integration testing with other BMDS elements; Site Activation Testing; and BMDS Ground Testing verifying delivery of operational software packages for designated spiral deliveries to the warfighter. Designated Capability Deliveries include: The Robust Medium-Range Ballistic Missile (MRBM) Defense / Improved Discrimination European Phased Adaptive Approach (EPAA) Phase 1 and 2 (Spiral 6.4) is partially decommissioned but remains operational in CENTCOM and EUCOM. Enhanced Homeland Defense (Spiral 8.2-1) is currently fielded and actively sustained. This spiral provides critical Homeland Defense capabilities for increased GMD battlespace, improved threat tracking using multiple sensors communicating via Link 16, enhanced sensor tasking to meet track quality and discrimination timeliness requirements, space situational awareness tasking support, and improved cyber capabilities. Spiral 8.2-1 also integrates the BMDS Overhead Persistent Infra-Red (OPIR) Architecture (BOA) with the BMDS to enhance system level missile-tracking capabilities through earlier cueing of radars and weapon systems. Fulfilling Presidential mandate, EPAA Phase 3/Engage-on-Remote (EOR) (Spiral 8.2-3) will deliver critical sensor management capability, greater engagement flexibility, improved OPIR-based cueing, and enhanced Aegis BMD defended area by enabling Aegis to use Army Navy/Ground Transportable Radar Surveillance model 2 (AN/TPY-2) data for EOR engagements. C2BMC is in the preliminary design phase for Long Range Discrimination Radar (LRDR) Control for Homeland Defense (Spiral 8.2-5). This spiral will increase homeland and regional defense capabilities by providing LRDR sensor management, a BMD System track inclusive of LRDR sensor data, BOA 7.0 leveraging advance threat limited contingency capabilities, Link-16 reporting integration, system level discrimination data integration, transmission of LRDR-based information to GMD Fire Control (GFC) and other BMDS elements, and integration of the BMDS with the new Army Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) Battle Command System (IBCS). Regional and Homeland Defense Enhancements (Increment 7) continues in planning and initiates development efforts during FY 2019. Capabilities associated with this Spiral include C2BMC tasking of OPIR Enterprise assets, enhanced system-level integrated discrimination functionality with Simultaneous Correlation of Unambiguous Tracks (SCOUT), Initial Robust Post Intercept Assessment (PIA), regional weapon system use of Link 16 based system track, AN/TPY-2 tasking improvements to support Aegis Engage on Remote, transmission of advanced discrimination features for regional BMD use, and monitoring of modified Aegis BMD, THAAD, PATRIOT, IBCS peer-to-peer engagement coordination. Related disciplines provide development and deployment support to C2BMC system capabilities. In support of Hypersonic Defense, C2BMC will provide contingency capability to demonstrate, develop and deploy a detection and warning for advanced threats. C2BMC International Partner system engineering ensures friends and allies are integrated to the fullest extent possible with U.S. BMDS capabilities. Collaborative system engineering, testing, and fielding facilitate interoperability with North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and partner nations such as Israel and Japan. C2BMC works with these nations to define and document international interfaces that are compatible with international standards and traceable to U.S. BMDS requirements. C2BMC participates in test events and live fire exercises hosted by international partners to ensure U.S. missile defense weapons, sensors, and C2 systems are interoperable with international systems. C2BMC maintains and upgrades the U.S./NATO secure data sharing gateways located at Ramstein Air Base, Germany, for missile defense operations and training. C2BMC also supports development of Japan's BMD requirements to ensure interoperability of Japanese and U.S. BMD systems (sensors, shooters, command and control) resulting in an integrated regional, operational, and strategic defense of Japan. C2BMC Modeling and Simulation (M&S) maintains BMDS simulation/stimulation tools and federated models to support development and verification of deployed C2BMC Spirals. The BMDS C2BMC Model (BCM) is used for Flight Test pre-mission analysis and exercises to represent a second Command and Control (C2) Suite for Cross-Area of Responsibility (XAOR) functionality, and supports development and integration of GMD, AN/TPY-2, and Aegis software and models. The BCM program provides a cost effective means to assess and explore the performance space of the BMDS beyond what can be physically tested via Flight Tests and Target of Opportunity collections. The C2BMC Program Element also sustains an evolutionary development capability to experiment with and prototype candidate C2BMC technologies. C2BMC incorporates BOA enhancements to enable the BMDS to keep pace with emerging threats. C2BMC develops, integrates, and tests advanced algorithms to improve discrimination capabilities and enhance the use of space-based sensor data. BOA fuses worldwide coverage of multiple SBIRS and Intelligence Community sensor data into precision three-dimensional missile tracks that C2BMC uses for radar and fire control cueing. BMDS Overhead Persistent Infra-Red Architecture (BOA) software version 5.1 will provide initial boost phase tracking when delivered to the warfighter with Enhanced Homeland Defense (Spiral 8.2-1) in FY 2018. BOA software version 6.1 will extend discrimination target tracking by adding wideband sensors when delivered with EPAA Phase 3/EOR (Spiral 8.2-3) in FY 2019. Post Intercept Assessment (PIA) is a BMDS capability that improves engagement effectiveness by synthesizing BMDS sensor multi-phenomenology tracking and discrimination data, communicating specific cueing and tasking messages, and implementing data analysis and decision logic tasks. Through a time-phased approach, each BMDS Element incrementally develops their contributions to the PIA solution. C2BMC's primary contributions to PIA include sensor and weapon system interfaces, sensor cueing/tasking, improved track processing, development and integration of multi- phenomenology physics-based prediction models, and the assessment decision logic and integrated display for the BMDS. In support of MDA's discrimination improvements effort, C2BMC will demonstrate, develop, and deploy multiple techniques to improve BMD System ability to identify lethal and non-lethal objects.
