Command & Control, Battle Management, Communications (C2BMC)
Abstract
Provides incremental development, deployment and operational support of C2BMC capabilities required for BMDS planning, situational awareness, sensor management, and engagement coordination. The FY 2019 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) section 869 recognized C2BMC for its implementation of this iterative practice and directed C2BMC's inclusion in a Community of Practice to advise on agile or iterative development. C2BMC delivers capabilities incrementally with each software build (named as a Spiral), adding to or enhancing the capability of the previous build. C2BMC incremental delivery of Spiral 8.2 provides critical Homeland Defense 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 (SSA) tasking support, and improved cyber capabilities. Enhanced Homeland Defense also integrates the BMDS Overhead Persistent Infrared (OPIR) Architecture (BOA) with the BMDS to enhance system level missile-tracking capabilities through earlier cueing of radars and weapon systems. European Phased Adaptive Approach (EPAA) Phase 3/Engage-on-Remote (EOR) (Spiral 8.2-3) provides critical sensor management capability, greater engagement flexibility, improved OPIR-based cueing, and enhanced Aegis BMD defended area by enabling Aegis to use Army Navy/Transportable Radar Surveillance and Control-2 (AN/TPY-2) data for EOR engagements, providing a five-fold increase in defended area coverage in the USCENTCOM/USEUCOM area of responsibility compared to individual weapon system organic capability. Spiral 8.2-3 also includes SSA and integrates Mobile Sensor Integration (MSI) Phase 1 and BOA data into the BMDS. Long Range Discrimination Radar (LRDR) Control for Homeland Defense (Spiral 8.2-5) enables increased homeland and regional defense by providing LRDR sensor management, creation and dissemination of a BMD System track inclusive of LRDR sensor data, hypersonic threat tracking, significant capability expansion of track and reporting Advance Threats for warfighter SSA for the Air Force, implements Link-16 reporting, integration of system level discrimination data, transmission of LRDR-based information to GMD Fire Control (GFC) and other BMDS elements, and operationalization of Space-based Kill Assessment (SKA) hit assessment. Future incremental C2BMC capability enhancements will include expanded Regional and Homeland Defense to continue risk reduction, planning, and development efforts including C2BMC tasking of OPIR Enterprise assets, enhanced system-level integrated discrimination functionality with Advanced Discrimination regional weapon system use of Link 16 based system track, transmission of advanced discrimination features, generation of space object data and monitoring of modified Aegis BMD, THAAD, PATRIOT, Regional Engagement coordination. C2BMC continues to develop incremental improvements to the BMDS to keep pace with emerging threats worldwide by investing in the development, integration and testing of advanced algorithms to improve track and discrimination capabilities, Robust Post Intercept Assessment (PIA) and enhancing use of space based sensor data from sources such as the Space Based Infrared System (SBIRS), using the BMDS OPIR architecture. 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 continues Protected Anti-Jam/Anti-Scintillation Wideband Net-Centric System (PAAWNS) modem integration, installations and technical refresh globally of the threat-based communication network modernization against the advanced threat, while maintaining efficiencies in cost. 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 Command and Control (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 and BOA Spirals. The BMDS C2BMC Model (BCM) is used for Flight Test pre-mission analysis and exercises to represent a second C2 Suite for Cross-Area of Responsibility (XAOR) functionality, Early Digital Product (EDP) for C2BMC performance assessment, and supports development and integration of GMD, AN/TPY-2, and Aegis software and models. The OPIR sensor M&S is used in the Ground Test Integrated System-level Simulation (GTISS) as the stimulus for BOA. 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. C2BMC develops, integrates, and tests advanced algorithms to improve discrimination capabilities and enhance the use of space-based sensor data. In support of MDA's discrimination improvements effort, C2BMC demonstrates, develops, and deploys multiple techniques to improve BMD System ability to identify lethal and non-lethal objects.
