Battle Command Training Capability - Equipment Support (BCTC-ES)


MISSION:


To provide network, equipment and technical tools that enable the integration of constructive simulations systems; to integrate Army Mission Command Systems white boxes into Tactical Operation Center (TOC) sets; to provide visualization of the Common Operating Picture (COP); and to ensure Simulation-Mission Command (MC) system thread functionality. It is the enabling link within a Mission Command Training Center (MCTC) that supports Joint Land Component Constructive Training Capability (JLCCTC) stimulation. It provides support to the Mission Command Training Center Design Board for New Military Construction, Army development.

DESCRIPTION:


MCTC-ES tools enable JLCCTC effectiveness by providing the MCTC with an improved ability to integrate constructive simulations with Mission Command training aligning the training environment to the operational environment. MCTC-ES provides significant mission command capability enablers including:

  • Network - Internal MCTC Wide Area Network, Local Area Network additions and distribution to external Tactical Operations Center (TOC) pads, classrooms, Local Training Areas and remote sites
  • Radio-Wire Integration System– Links constructive player work cells and live TOCs across combat radio nets
  • Mission Command (MC) Servers - Link MC white boxes into unit and Higher Control (HICON)/Exercise Control (EXCON) TOC sets and interface with mobile operational TOC
  • Battlefield Visualization System – Tool provides video, simulations and/or MC feeds to TOC, Executive Director, Simulation Control and After Action Review room
  • Simulation/Command and Control End-to-End Integration – Integrate Simulation/Command and Control threads in conjunction with JLCCTC fieldings and update BCTC-ES components as required
  • Architectural & Engineering Support – Subject matter experts planning support for new MCA projects prior to design directive issuance.
  • Battery Refresh for computer back-up system – Eight MCTC sites – a five-year refresh cycle
  • Combat Training Center (CTC) Mission Command Training Support Program Upgrades – One CTC per year
