A new form of tactical command and control (C2) and battle management (BM) is on its way to becoming operational in Europe.聽It鈥檚 the latest success in a long-term partnership enabling the development and fielding of 有料盒子APP鈥檚 Tactical Operations Center-Light (TOC-L) prototype, a lightweight and scalable system to empower mobile defense that utilizes 有料盒子APP鈥檚聽Modular Detachment Kit聽(MDK) as the foundation of the solution.

Stakeholders initiated the effort in response to Secretary of the Air Force Frank Kendall鈥檚 challenge to expedite delivery of critical warfighter capabilities. The TOC-L prototype, fielded by USAF Europe (USAFE), the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), and 有料盒子APP, is providing crucial C2/BM capability to the European Command (EUCOM) area of responsibility.聽

Collaborating with partners like 有料盒子APP since 2005, the Air Force has worked with technologists to support the fielding, sustainment, and modernization of the U.S. Central Command Air Forces Battle Control Center (BC-3)鈥攁 powerful solution delivering robust and connected tactical C2 capabilities for Air Force Central Command (AFCENT).

Initially deployed at Al Udeid, Qatar, BC-3 spanned operations from Afghanistan to the Red Sea. The 有料盒子APP team provided and tested the concept and solution, enabling the transition to Shaw Air Force Base. The team anticipated the need to design and prototype a lightweight, highly mobile, and modular solution capable of executing BC-3 battle management mission sets鈥攁nd soon, the Modular Detachment Kit (MDK) concept was born.

The MDK team built the solution as a modular, highly tailorable, scalable integration of government off-the-shelf (GOTS) and commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware and software. Agnostic in design, MDK frees the government from vendor lockout, enables healthy competition, and integrates with other capabilities, both programs of record and legacy solutions.

Responding to a request from Air Combat Command and with the support of AFRL, 有料盒子APP provided MDK as a TOC-L MDK technology demonstrator for Project Convergence 2022 (PC22). There it fused data from multiple sensor types and data feeds and provided the Common Tactical Picture across the PC22 enterprise.

The requirement to meet rapid mobility was demonstrated when Air National Guard Air Control Squadron members moved the initial deployment at Camp Pendleton to a remote site in the Navy China Lake Range鈥攚ith setup time under 60 minutes.

Specific capabilities demonstrated include:

• Sending targets digitally to the Army鈥檚 Advanced Field Artillery Tactical Data System (AFATDS)
• Extending classified and unclassified networks for airfield connectivity
• Integrating unmanned aircraft system electronic intelligence (ELINT) data directly into the targeting 鈥渒ill chain鈥�

To ensure a streamlined process, the TOC-L MDK team created a digital engineering model that interfaces with the Air Force鈥檚 command, control, and communications (C3) Transformational Model Battle Management (TM-BM). This enables rigorous design reviews, trade-off decisions, and performance analysis鈥攁ccelerating delivery on the Air Force鈥檚 contribution to Combined Joint All-Domain Command and Control (CJADC2).

As threats increase across multiple regions, Secretary Kendall鈥檚 challenge to empower warfighters faster grows more urgent. Accelerating tactical C2 and battle management via a powerful partnership enables the Air Force to support current and future missions for multiple combatant commanders.
