2 BCBL (Gordon) Mission FY03 Beyond
BCBL (GORDON) MISSION TASKS
- Support all TRADOC battle labs and proponents in
experimentation / CD functions across the
Objective Force mission areas - Execute battle command and branch proponent
experimentation technology assessments to
bridge capability gaps - Manage the BLCSE NOSC (fixed/deployable assets,
Joint/Strategic gateways) - Provide risk mitigation for acquisition PMs
(WIN-T, JTRS, FCS, SATCOM, ACUS MOD, OF BC, IA
Security Products) -Honest Broker role for the
evaluation of C4 solutions (proposed by vendors,
et al) - Deploy advanced communications networks to
support live force play in - exercises and demonstrations (Army
Joint) - Provide the Armys conduit for the rapid
integration / fielding of advanced - C4 technology ( legacy interim forces)
- Provide the means and standards to integrate
Communications / Network - Realism into Warfighting Modeling and
Simulation Tools - TRADOCs VV agent for comm realism / comm
effects MS - Execute experimentation in area of Homeland
Defense C2 Force - Protection
3BCBL(Gordon) PRIMARY FOCUS AREAS
Dominant Maneuver throughCollaborative Planning
Situational Awareness
- Network / Execution Centric BC Environment
- (strategic to lowest tactical levels)
- Advanced C4ISR Information Superiority
- Homeland Defense Command Control
- Joint, Interagency, Coalition Interoperability
- (Joint Interdependence)
- Sensor to shooter linkages (organic Joint)
- Network centric attributes to enable
- revolution in military logistics
- Information Assurance Protection
- Risk Mitigation For WIN-T, JTRS, FCS
Massed Effects Joint Organic
Develop situation out of contact
Precision Engagement
Focused Logistics
Network Centric Advanced C4ISR Forms The
Backbone Of FCS Objective Force Capability
Stand-off precision fires
More rapidly and reliably adjust supply to
demand
4Battle Command Battle Lab (Gordon)
Communications/Computer Piece of BC/C4ISR
Triad BCBL(Leavenworth) Battle
Command BCBL(Huachuca) - ISR
- Objective Force Network-Centric Capabilities for
UA/FCS and UE - Battle Command focused
- Joint, Interagency, Multinational
interoperability - Risk Mitigation for numerous programs
Unique Capabilities Within TRADOC
- Robust Laboratory Environment Using Live Systems
- Worlds Most Advanced Deployable Comm Systems -
14.3M Of Assets - Network Operations Security Center For TRADOC
Battle Lab - Collaborative Simulation Environment (BLCSE)
- Core Technical Staff ( Engineers, Computer
Scientist, ORSA)
5BCBL (Gordon) - Defining the Objective Force
- Network-Centric TRADOC Experimentation!
- Network Operations and Security Center (NOSC) for
Battle Lab Collaborative Simulation Environment
(BLCSE) - Connecting proponents for experimentation
- Essential network-centric objective force
evaluation! - Communications realism modeling and simulation
development - Campaign of NETWORK experiments (MAPEX UA 1-03
14-18 April) - Presence at all proponent experiments for UA/UE
- Enabling battle command of large formations in
joint environment! - Live, deployable experimentation for joint and
combined exercises, - connecting live, constructive and simulated
forces - Warfighters experience virtual battlefield
- Soldiers evaluate emerging technologies
6BCBL(Gordon) Inserting Capabilities into the
Force
- Evaluate/develop concepts/emerging technologies
and TTP for bridging capabilities between
generations! - 13 systems developed and fielded to force in
past 6 years (4ID, SBCT, III Corps, XVIII Corps,
82Abn, etc.) - Brigade Subscriber Node (BSN)
- Battlefield VTC (BVTC)
- 11 others
- Two systems developed and fielding now
- TDMA SATCOM (CENTCOM Operation IRAQI FREEDOM)
- PRISM Homeland Defense C2 Information
Management System (IMA) - Partner with industry/PMs/DCDs to adjust
current programs based on live experimentation
and experience!
WE DELIVER!! TODAY!!
BCBL(G) delivers todays technology approaching
tomorrows capabilities based on warfighter
requirements!
