Command & Control, Battle Management, Communications (C2BMC)
Abstract
Provides incremental development, deployment, and operational support of C2BMC capabilities required for MDS 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 Domain Awareness (SDA) tasking support, and improved cyber capabilities. Enhanced Homeland Defense also integrates the BMDS Overhead Persistent Infrared (OPIR) Architecture (BOA) with the MDS 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 US Central Command (USCENTCOM) and US European Command (USEUCOM) area of responsibility compared to individual weapon system organic capability. Spiral 8.2-3 also includes SDA and integrates Mobile Sensor Integration (MSI) Phase 1 and BOA data into the MDS. 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 SDA; implements Link-16 reporting, integration of system level discrimination data, transmission of LRDR-based information to GMD Fire Control (GFC) and other MDS elements; and operationalization of Space-based Kill Assessment (SKA) hit assessment for Homeland Defense. Expanded Regional and Homeland Defense Increment 7 (Spiral 8.2-7) will provide BMDS System Track (BST) with System Level Discrimination Integration for GMD engagements; Expanded Active Sensor Bias Monitoring and Full Reporting; Refined Space and Intelligence Data; Expanded Hypersonic Tracking and Link-16 Reporting. Cruise Missile Defense accelerates capabilities against cruise missiles and asymmetric threats by providing performance assessments of advanced cruise missiles, leveraging C2BMC Enterprise Sensor Processing Node (ESPN) to track and report on advanced threats, and establishes a new suite for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week testing of new ground processing algorithms to detect and report on long range cruise missiles. This capability will demonstrate a design with non-traditional sensors and networks, with the potential for limited leave behind capability. The classified effort will provide the development of innovative command and control (C2) techniques and technology to accelerate integration of non-traditional sensors for missile defense. Layered Homeland Defense (LHD) provides the Warfighter with the capability to use additional layers of missile defense by developing and testing auto-engagement coordination logic with multiple weapon systems (GMD, Aegis, THAAD). C2BMC provides engagement planning, sensor tasking and resource management, track handling, system discrimination solutions, warfighter decision aids, and integrated battle management allowing multiple engagement opportunities and weapon system deconfliction across the threat flight trajectory. C2BMC continues to develop incremental improvements to the MDS to keep pace with emerging threats worldwide by investing in the development, integration, and testing of advanced algorithms to improve track and discrimination capabilities 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 allies and partners are integrated to the fullest extent possible with U.S. MDS 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. MDS 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, C2) resulting in an integrated regional, operational, and strategic defense of Japan. C2BMC Modeling and Simulation (M&S) maintains MDS 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 MDS 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.
