  1. Battle Command Migration “Partnering Day” 15 November 05 Paul Manz Technical Director PM Ground Combat C2 Paul.Manz@us.army.mil

  2. Purpose • Present an initial overview of Battle Command (BC) migration beyond ABCS 6.4 for near and mid-term • Define technical vision for future BC systems • Maintain relevance of fielded ABCS systems via key technology insertions • Maximize ROI by leveraging today’s capabilities into tomorrow • Establish a system of systems perspective: • Across all PEO C3T programs and Joint Interfaces • Technology improvements for interoperability and integration • Goal is life-cycle cost reduction Provide a System of Systems Path Forward

  5. Current ABCS Product-Centric System Implementation

  6. What Have We Learned? • Disparate data formats • Interoperability • Utilization of Bandwidth • Collaboration • Difficult to configure • Too many systems to train • Stovepipe Design • Different user interface for each system • Many servers providing similar functionality • More expensive to maintain • Training impacts Must leverage current capability to address these issues as ABCS evolves toward JC2 and FCS.

  7. What Happened since Good Enough? ABCS“Good Enough” Joint WebCOP JTCW DACT C2PC JBC-P FBCB2 FCS CPoF WEEMC JC2 VariousNCES Horizontal Fusion (18th ABN & JBFSA) GCCS-A GCCS-M Need to incorporate initiatives into ABCS. Must maintain compatibility with ABCS 6.4.

  9. Migration Plan Key Drivers and Goals Army at War Modularity • Goals • Lower lifecycle cost • Reduce Complexity • Smaller footprint • Common User Interface • Reduced training and cognitive burden • Fewer soldiers needed to run/maintain the System of Systems Joint Migration Plan Team produces requirements, architecture, and schedule ABCS Sustainment NetCentricity Technology Insertions

  11. Layered Approach to BC Software Architecture OSI Layers TCP/IP Layers C2 Layers Presentation Services User-Centric Design, Common Role-based User Interface Application Presentation Session Transport Network Data Link Physical Application (HCI) Mapping/Overlays, Planning, Logistics, Airspace Mgmt & Deconfliction, Attack Analysis, Weapons Management, Target/Effects Queuing Battle Command Services Transport Messaging, Collaboration, Discovery, IA, Data Dissemination, Comms Network Network Infrastructure Services Network Management, QOS, Real-time Services Network Access LAN, Hardware (including servers) Routers, Hubs, Switches, Routing Protocols Reduce cognitive burden by automating Battle Command and Network Infrastructure Services.

  12. BC Path ForwardNear-Term Thrusts • Consolidation Of Servers/Services • Reduce Server Duplication • Centralize Servers/Service • “C2 Bridge To The Future” • Expose ABCS Capabilities As Services • Leverage Middleware Services Compliant with NCES • Positions BC Server For Transition To JC2 And FCS Spirals • Common Presentation Services • Leverage CPOF HCI “Goodness” • Role-Based User-Centric Design

  13. Cleaning Up Product-Centric Issues Current Near Term • Complex • Duplicative Unique Stovepipes • Heavy Training Burden • Product-Centric Systems Engineering and Acquisition • Drives the need for*: • Consistent Acquisition Strategy & Management Practices • Unified Systems Engineering and Integration • Common Architecture, Software and Hardware Solutions • Usability Strategy and Solutions

  16. What is CPOF? $62M being Invested by DARPA Since 1998 • An executive level decision support system that provides situational awareness and collaborative tools tosupport decision making, planning, rehearsal and execution management. • Designed to allow operators to interactively collaborate, and share workspaces and plans. CPOF Servers CPOF Workstation CPOF Network Fielded to 1st CAV and 3ID May04 MOA Between Army and DARPA "We do virtually every rehearsal using the CPOF tool."

  17. Objective ABCS Service-Based Framework

  18. Where We’re Headed • Single Authority for Battle Command Systems Engineering • Single Army/Marine Corps Land/Littoral C2 Solution • Maximizing commonality of architecture and services • Taking advantage of communications and network infrastructure • Incorporation of usability engineering in a common presentation layer design Translating BC Vision into a Viable System Architecture Leveraging ABCS 6.4 Capabilities
