Theater Battle Management (TBM) C4I

Mission — Applications Development source

This budget line funds joint partner requirements of the Air Operations Center (AOC) Weapon System Modification effort. Applications Development efforts deliver capabilities identified in the 2013 Joint Command and Control Capability Development Document (CDD) and are executed under the Development, Security, and Operations (DevSecOps) Software Acquisition Pathway Program. Applications Development provides worldwide operational capabilities for Air Force Command and Control (C2) in support of DoD, Coalition Partners, and other government agencies. These efforts focus on support to the Joint Forces Air Component Commander (JFACC), who provides air, space and cyber support to other Air FOrce and Joint Services C2 systems. This program is dependent on the All Domain Common Platform (ADCP), which provides an extensible cloud-based infrastructure and platform as a service (IaaS/PaaS) hosting platform built to deliver highly resilient mission applications and data to Airmen deployed around the world. In FY 2026, Applications Development will focus on providing necessary software capabilities to build, disseminate, and execute the Master Air Attack Plan (MAAP). Applications Development also provides an Airspace Management tool used for building airspaces, evaluating requests, and instantaneously generating the Airspace Control Order (ACO). These efforts deliver modern software for inclusion to the AOC Weapon System modifications program to replace the Master Air Attack Plan-Toolkit (MAAPTK) and components of Theater Battle Management Core System - Force Level (TBMCS FL). Efforts within this PE align with USAF investment in Mission Planning Systems (PE 0208006F), Air Operations Center (0207410F), All Domain Common Platform (0303248F), C2IMERA (0305015F/0305836F) and ABMS (0604003F) to deliver the Theater Air Planning System of Systems (TAP-SoS) architecture for the DAF BATTLE NETWORK. The FY 2026 request was reduced by -$0.015 million for Advisory and Assistance Services to promote efficiencies and advance the policies of the Administration in alignment with Executive Order 14222, "Implementing the President's Department of Government Efficiency Cost Efficiency Initiative.” This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability. The use of such program funding would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, and 0606398F. In FY 2024 0.000 million was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY 2025 0.000 million is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.
