C2IMERA

Mission — C2IMERA source

This budget line funds the development of the Command and Control, Incident Management, Emergency Response Application (C2IMERA), a C2 system that enables commanders and staffs to generate and present ready forces to combatant commanders at the tactical, operational, and strategic levels. C2IMERA funds provide enhanced installation C2 that improves decision speed, quality, and lethality by incorporating direct user inputs, connecting people to information, automating daily operations, and integrating data from myriad systems into a real-time, interactive Common Operating Picture (COP) with visualized dashboards. C2IMERA enables mission-ready units of action to support Agile Combat Employment by effectively linking combat wings and base commands, enabling bases to successfully operate during competition, crisis, and conflict. C2IMERA synchronizes information across large scale exercises and operations through the implementation of a COP and tool that streamlines daily operations and reporting. C2IMERA aggregates the theater-wide critical information into strategic and operational pictures that enable Higher Headquarters (HHQ) to make real-time force decisions across the competition continuum. C2IMERA accelerates decision makers' access to C2 information by providing automated updates through the COP/email and alleviating the need for unnecessary briefings, meetings, and radio communication(s). The C2IMERA operational concept has three capability areas: • C2 collaboration across the Wing, enabling the base to operate and fight • Wing Situational Awareness, enabling the wing to integrate across operations • Wing Collaboration/reporting to HHQ (i.e., Air Operations Center (AOC), the Air Force Forces (AFFOR), Command Center etc.), enabling high-quality operational and strategic decision making Requirements also include supporting base operations, mission management and monitoring, HHQ Information Exchange Requirements (IERs), Emergency Action Messaging, Situation Report (SITREP) automation, and other key enablers supporting the operational concept. Efforts within this PE align with USAF investment in Mission Planning Systems (PE 0208006F), Air Operations Center (0207410F), All Domain Common Platform (0303248F), and ABMS (0604003F) to deliver the Theater Air Planning System of Systems (TAP-SoS) architecture for the DAF BATTLE NETWORK. FY 2026 funds will continue to support Agile development and operations enabling the delivery of new advanced features to C2IMERA following the FY 2025 completion of the codebase re-architecture from a monolithic codebase to a microservices based, multi-tenant application. FY 2026 funds will integrate C2IMERA across the DAF Battle Network, expand data access through system interoperability and new systems integrations, automate data inputs and workflows, and improve coalition warfighting capabilities through expanded information availability. 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 elements 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605833F, or 0605898F. Due to being a new Program Element in FY 2026, civilian pay expenses in this program element will begin in FY 2026. For reference, this program is transferring from 0305015F where in FY 2024 0.281 million was expended for civilian pay expenses, and in FY 2025 0.226 million is forecasted for civilian pay expenses. 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.
