Description
Mission — Maritime Tactical Command & Control (MTC2)
Maritime Tactical Command and Control (MTC2) is a next generation Command and Control (C2) software program that will deliver Battle Management Aids (BMA) and Maritime Planning Tools (MPT) to dynamically plan, direct, monitor, and assess maritime operations in support of Joint, Multi-Service, and Coalition Force planning. MTC2 leverages a System of Services to deliver capabilities improving decision speed and dynamic synchronization of forces. BMAs / MPTs are small, capability-focused deliveries that can be rapidly developed, tested, and fielded. MTC2 leverages Science and Technology (S&T) investments and engages with the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations (OPNAV) and Fleet supported Capability Requirements Council (CRC) to define and prioritize the BMAs and MPTs that MTC2 will deliver and align to the Program Executive Office (PEO) Command, Control, Communications, computers and Intelligence (C4I) enterprise architecture (Consolidated Afloat Network Enterprise Service (CANES), Agile Core Services (ACS) for fielding to all echelons of command (Afloat and Ashore) within the Navy. The program's objective is to provide a suite of maritime applications (BMAs / MPTs) that enable planning, execution, monitoring, and assessment in support of operational, strategic, and tactical level of war requirements. MTC2 fields BMAs / MPTs designed to provide automated and structured support for tactical and operational planning, decision-making, and execution. As a software only program that leverages enterprise infrastructure, MTC2 provides new and improved capabilities to include an improved browser enabled map Scheme of Maneuver (SOM), Schedule of Events (SOE), and Operations Report 5 (OPREP5) visualization that enables the warfighter to associate tracks to relevant data, past and predicted movements, ingest Meteorology and Oceanography information, and operational overlays. MTC2's updated architecture will enable future composable C2 capabilities to respond with a more rapid pace in changes in threats and technology. MTC2 is the Navy's solution to Global Force Management - Data Initiative (GFM-DI) which is Department of Defense (DoD) -wide enterprise solution that enables visibility/accessibility/sharing of data applicable to the entire DoD force structure. MTC2 incorporates distributed data transfer capability for enhanced operational data exchange between command and control systems, combat systems, logistics, and intelligence systems for timely threat identification, location, and status alongside blue force data. MTC2 supports alignment and provides interoperability of Navy C2 with the DoD Joint C2 way-forward. The program will fully align with Joint C2 data and service exposure and consumption goals, architectures, and Net-Centric Enterprise Service efforts. The sustainment activities include support for evolutionary acquisition, program management, training and training events, help desk, procuring software licenses, and sustainment of MTC2 Program of Record instances. FY 2026 funding will provide continued execution under the Software Acquisition Pathway (SWP) and will continue iterative development of MTC2 software based on the SWP Capability Needs Statement (CNS). MTC2 will continue to field Ashore/Afloat. MTC2 will continue to receive feedback from fleet users for development, integration, and testing of additional capabilities/enhancements into Battle Management Aids (BMAs). MTC2 will continue iterative development and delivery to targeted platforms necessary for the completion of the Navy special project. The iterative delivery will include extended Battle Management Aids that will support strategic/tactical command and control as well as Joint All Domain Command and Control (JADC2) interfaces. MTC2 iterative delivery will include additional integration with other existing BMAs with data and service interfaces. These additional capabilities in MTC2 are necessary to meet the timeline of targeted strike group deployments. MTC2 will begin to research and develop a containerized WebSked replacement, known as Employment Responsive Enterprise Scheduling System (EMPRESS), leveraging existing DevSecOps Pipelines. EMPRESS will enable the Navy to conduct Unit Employment and Service Scheduling functions that support force readiness generation for planning/unplanning to maintain the Global Naval Force Presence Policy Schedule and Fleet Response Plan. The funding in this line also supports sustainment activities which include evolutionary acquisition and program management support, training and training events, help desk, software, licenses, and sustainment of the MTC2 Program of Record (PoR).
Mission — MARITIME TACT CMD & CONTROL - SOFT PLT PRGM
Section 872 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for FY 2018 (P.L. 115-91) directed the Secretary of Defense to task the Defense Innovation Board (DIB) to undertake a study on "streamlining [the Department's] software development and acquisition regulations." The Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment (USD(A&S)) submitted the final report to Congress in May 2019. The DIB's report made recommendations aimed at transforming the way the Department acquires, develops, and deploys software and manages digital talent. The DIB encouraged the creation of a "new appropriation category for software capability delivery that allows (relevant types of) software to be funded as a single budget item, with no separation between Research, Development, Test & Evaluation (RDT&E), production and sustainment." The recommendation stemmed from the DIB's observation that current law, regulations, and policies (including those governing program funding and appropriations) treat software acquisition and development as a series of discrete, sequential steps; and that this approach is at odds with modern software, which is continuously updated to provide new functionality. This program has been designated as a Software and Digital Technology Pilot Program by the Secretary of Defense. The funding in this line is requested to be used for expenses necessary for agile procurement, production, modification and operation and maintenance of the pilot program requirements. (Project 3323) Maritime Tactical Command and Control (MTC2) is a next generation Command and Control (C2) software program that delivers Battle Management Aids (BMA) and Maritime Planning Tools (MPT) to dynamically plan, direct, monitor, and assess maritime operations in support of Joint, Multi-Service, and Coalition Force planning. MTC2 will leverage a System of Services to deliver capabilities improving decision speed and dynamic synchronization of forces. BMAs / MPTs are small, capability-focused deliveries that can be rapidly developed, tested, and fielded. MTC2 engages with the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations (OPNAV) and Fleet via the Capability Requirements Council (CRC) to define and prioritize the BMAs and MPTs that MTC2 will deliver and align to the Program Executive Office (PEO) Command, Control, Communications, and Intelligence (C4I) enterprise architecture Consolidated Afloat Network Enterprise Service (CANES), Agile Core Services (ACS) and other hosting platforms for fielding to all echelons of command (Afloat and Ashore) within the Navy. The program's objective is to provide a suite of maritime applications (BMAs / MPTs) that enable planning, execution, monitoring, and assessment in support of operational, strategic, and tactical level of war requirements. MTC2 fields BMAs / MPTs designed to provide automated and structured support for tactical, strategic, and operational planning, decision-making, and execution. MTC2 incorporates distributed data transfer capability for enhanced operational data exchange between command and control systems, combat systems, logistics, and intelligence systems for timely threat identification, location, and status alongside blue force data. MTC2 is the Navy's only solution to fulfill a portion of the Joint Global Force Management - Data Initiative (GFM-DI) Allocation requirements. GFM-DI is the Department-wide enterprise solution that enables visibility/accessibility/sharing of data applicable to the entire Department of Defense (DoD) force structure. MTC2 will begin to develop a containerized Web-Based Scheduling (WebSked) replacement, Employment Responsive Enterprise Scheduling System (EMPRESS), leveraging existing Development, Security, Operations (DevSecOps) Pipelines. EMPRESS will enable the Navy to conduct Unit Employment and Service Scheduling functions that support force readiness generation for planning/unplanning to maintain the Global Naval Force Presence Policy Schedule and Fleet Response Plan. MTC2 supports alignment and provides interoperability of Navy C2 with the DoD joint C2 way-forward. The program will fully align with joint C2 data and service exposure and consumption goals, architectures, and Net-Centric Enterprise Service efforts. The sustainment activities include support for evolutionary acquisition, program management, training and training events, help desk, software licenses, and sustaining MTC2 instances currently installed in the Fleet through Continuous Improvement/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD).
