SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS FOR THE MODERNIZED C2 EXECUTION SYSTEM FOR THE BATTLE CONTROL CENTER (BCC) AND RADAR COMMUNICATIONS CELL (RCC), Version 1.1

 

  1. INTRODUCTION
    1. Background

Under the direction of the Chief, Ground Elements of Command and Control (C2) Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) Systems Operations Branch, Headquarters Air Combat Command (HQ ACC/DISG), a Combat Air Forces (CAF) Concept of Operations (CONOPS) for the Air Control Squadrons (ACSs) of the Theater Air Control System (TACS) has been written. This CONOPS describes the peace and war time use, employment, deployment, and redeployment of the existing and envisioned organization, operations, and systems of the ACS. The Aerospace Command and Control Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Center (AC2ISRC) has also written an ACS Modernization Roadmap that defines a migration strategy from the current ACS force and functional structure and equipment to a new structure using new equipment. The new force and functional structure of the ACS described in these documents, replaces the current Control and Reporting Center (CRC) and Control and Reporting Element (CRE) of the TACS with an execution-level command and control (C2) capability called a Battle Control Center (BCC) which is supported by radar and communications capabilities called a Radar Communications Cell (RCC). A brief summary of the BCC mission and the capabilities of the BCC and RCC are described below.

1.2 BCC Mission

As an integral element of the TACS, the BCC must provide a transportable, tailorable and automated C2 battle management system capable of supporting worldwide contingency operations. The BCC provides a versatile means of acquiring real-time and near-real-time (NRT) information from multiple air, sea, land, and space based sensors, including the BCC’s organic long-range radar, the AN/TPS-75. The mission of the BCC is to provide C2 of air and space forces throughout the spectrum of military operations and collaterally, provide joint and theater commanders with an accurate and reliable integrated battlespace (i.e., air, sea, land) picture. This directly supports the Joint Forces Air Component Commander (JFACC) requirement for situational awareness and execution of the Air Tasking Order/Airspace Control Order (ATO/ACO) by performing the theater battle management functions of: surveillance, early warning, combat identification, force allocation, weapons control, airspace management, theater missile defense, all source sensor data fusion and intra-service connectivity. The BCC provides the organization, personnel, procedures, and equipment necessary to plan and execute theater air operations and to coordinate air operations with other services and allied forces. Key features of the BCC Concept of Operations include the following:

To fulfill its mission, a BCC and its supporting RCCs will deploy and/or disperse as separate elements within the assigned theater Area of Operational Responsibility (AOR). By employing as separate elements, the BCC and RCC are able to provide optimum sensor/radio coverage while ensuring mobility, redundancy, and survivability. The BCC is directly subordinate to the Joint Air Operations Center (JAOC), and is the primary USAF battle management element charged with decentralized execution of the ATO within the AOR. The BCC may be collocated with the JAOC or it may be dispersed to one or more locations within the theater. The RCC is subordinate to the BCC and provides the sensor and ground-air-ground communications capabilities that the BCC requires to perform its mission. A notional deployment of a dispersed BCC and RCCs is depicted in Figure 1.

1.4 System Overview

The modernized C2 Execution System for the BCC and RCC will replace the current Modular Control Equipment (MCE) and other site equipment with which the Air Control Squadrons are now equipped. Key new features that this System will provide include the following:

The modernized C2 Execution System will include the hardware, software, and communications components required to equip the BCC and RCCs. The components of the BCC will include workstations, servers, and ancillary equipment to host the theater battle management functions of the BCC and to perform operator and maintenance training. The BCC communications components will include: JTIDS terminal equipment; a suite of radios to support the TCT mission; ground-air-ground radios; and a complement of Theater Deployable Communications (TDC) equipment.

The RCC provides a self-sustaining sensor and communications capability that can be remoted from the BCC. The major components of an RCC will include the following: an organic sensor, JTIDS terminal equipment, a complement of ground-air-ground radios (remotely controlled), and a complement of TDC equipment.

There is some redundancy in the complement of equipment at the RCC and the BCC because they may be deployed independently. Long haul communications will also be collocated with the BCC and RCC. A notional system configuration for the BCC and RCC is depicted in Figure 2.

Figure 2. Notional System Configuration

This notional configuration depicts the BCC processing and communications equipment packaged in shelters transported by tactical vehicles. The operator workstations and communications access equipment may be housed using a variety of shelter options (e.g., fixed, hard, soft). The figure also depicts BCC interfaces to other C2 nodes and sensors. Figure 3 is a more complete depiction of the BCC interfaces to other systems and agencies.

1.5 Document Overview

This document contains a draft of proposed system requirements for the moderized C2 Execution System for the BCC and RCC. This draft is intended to be a vehicle to stimulate requirements discussions with the users with the aim of refining these requirements and capturing a functional requirements baseline for acquiring the system.

Table 1 provides a list of proposed system requirements in which each requirement has been numbered for identification. In the table, the functional areas and the requirements for each area appear in the order shown in the following list.:

General
Surveillance
Weapons Control
Electronic Warfare
Battle Management
Communications
Display
Training
Physical Characteristics
Environmental Characteristics
Support

The requirements have been derived from the sources identified in paragraph 1.3. Through an Operational Requirements Working Group, the system requirements list will be refined and prioritized for spiral/incremental implementation.

For the purposes of scoping the requirements in Table 1, the AN/TPS-75, the Theater Deployable Communications equipment, and the long-haul communications equipment have been handled as external interfaces. Therefore the requirements captured in this draft apply only to the BCC and RCC interfaces to these equipments.

The following definitions are provided to aid in reviewing the requirements in Table 1:

- Theater Missile Defense, Air Defense Artillery, Time-Critical Targeting
- C2 Data Link Management (to create the Single Integrated Air Picture and provide inputs to the Common Tactical Picture, and Common Operational Picture)
- Early Warning, Surveillance, Airspace Management, Intelligence
- Combat Identification
- Air Battle Execution (Offensive Counterair, Defensive Counterair, Air Refueling)

Following the system requirements list, this document contains a glossary and the following appendices:
