Abstract:

The United States Air Force USAF is evaluating the next generation ground-based Command and Control C2 equipment. As part of that effort the 133d Air Control Squadron ACS Iowa Air National Guard ANG has been an active participant in the Joint Expeditionary Force Experiment JEFX 99. The efforts of the ANG have included the development and testing of a prototype next generation C2 configuration, the Battle Control Center BCC and Remote Communications Cell RCC at JEFX. This paper discusses the transition of the existing Modular Control Equipment MCE to the BCC, the JEFX experiment, lessons learned and further development of state-of-the-art C2 visualization systems. This paper focuses on the traditional MCE tasks that were performed in the BCC. Additional topics such as time critical targeting TCT and real-time imagery were also demonstrated at JEFX 99, but were not addressed in this paper due to the time and space constraints.
