Virtual Warfare Center (VWC) Support - The project team conducts fully interactive virtual mission thread analysis event at the Virtual Warfare Center (VWC) in St. Louis, MO, in order to quantify family of systems performance and how it impacts effectiveness in the Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) mission area. The VWC provides a venue for the exploration of advanced engagement concepts focused on persistent forward naval engagements in support of the MAGTF and the development of associated Joint and Service specific tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs). VWC support encompasses a set of integrated fire control (IFC) activities that also includes concept of employment and Concept of Operations/CONOPS development, family of systems architecture development, and systems engineering/integration efforts. The FY 2026 to FY 2027 increase of $1.163M is driven by expanded modeling and simulation demands from key stakeholders. This funding will ensure the continuation of critical support for joint interoperability assessments. It will also facilitate more complex simulation events, like the annual Marine Week at the VWC, which are essential for validating Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) system performance and informing Marine Aviation acquisitions through FY 2040.

Product Development
(U) The Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) Combat Service Support Element & Supporting Establishment (CSSE & SE) consists of mutually supporting Logistics Information Technology (IT) programs that support force deployment, planning, and execution; sustainment and distribution; and contributes to the Combatant Commander's Common Operating Picture to support rapid accurate decision making. JOINT FORCE REQUIREMENTS GENERATOR II (JFRG II) is an Automated Information System (AIS), standalone desktop software application that operates in a classified environment to provide the Marine Corps users the capability to support Joint Command and Control (JC2) contingency and crisis deployment operations and plans. It serves as the single link between the Joint Operation Planning and Execution System (JOPES), Sea Service Deployment Module (SSDM) and War Reserve System (WRS)/Integrated Materiel Solution Toolset (IMAT). JFRG II desktop application permits multi-level planning with entry of Time-Phased Force and Deployment Data (TPFDD), including equipment and personnel data, transportation/movement data, and the phasing of the total force throughout the entire movement timeline. JFRG II desktop application generates standard, executive, and ad hoc reports and performs database queries to support JC2 deployment requirements. MAGTF LOGISTICS SUPPORT SYSTEMS (MLS2): This is a Marine Corps Force Design Program. Composed of several main components including the Electronic Maintenance Support System (EMSS). EMSS is a rugged organizational-level (O-level), light-weight, one-man portable maintenance device capable of supporting multiple platforms and systems across maintenance communities. It provides a Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) hardware device equipped with Built-In-Test/Built-In-Test Equipment interfaces, and Software Defined Test Instrument General Purpose Electronic Test Equipment capabilities. These hardware capabilities will enable commercial or custom USMC software capabilities including interactive electronic technical manuals, computer based training, and other maintenance applications to be hosted on EMSS. EMSS also has the capability to connect to the Marine Corps Enterprise Network and access sites like Global Combat Support System - Marine Corps in order to facilitate maintenance and supply transactions, thereby improving readiness.

What project 2270 buys
The Secure Expeditionary Resilient Positioning, Navigation & Timing (SERPNT) funding line delivers the systems that increase the resiliency and assurance of Position Navigation & Timing (PNT) capabilities for user equipment, platforms, and systems in highly contested Navigation Warfare environments. Required by Federal mandates, SERPNT provides Alternate & Assured PNT to the Marine Air-Ground Task Force Commanders to know and trust PNT data and mitigate threats from peer and near peer adversaries to meet Force Design, Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations, and Joint All-Domain Command and Control missions. SERPNT enables operations in a contested environment by implementing the technologies managed under Military Global Positioning (GPS) User Equipment Increment 1 and 2, including Military-Code (M-Code), Anti-Jam/Anti-Spoof antennas, Alternative Navigation sources, and non-GPS capabilities (such as Inertial Measurement Units, barometers, wheel speed / velocity sensors, etc.). Marine Air-Ground Task Force (MAGTF) Command and Control Systems and Applications (MC2SA) - MC2SA Tactical Service Oriented Architecture (TSOA) is an ACAT IV(M) program of record (POR). TSOA was created to achieve agility and greater cost reduction across the USMC Command and Control (C2) Enterprise. This POR has been identified by the USMC Combat Development and Integration (CD&I) as the USMC's Service Oriented Infrastructure (SOI) designed to support the Objective Network as defined by the Headquarters Marine Corps, Deputy Commandant for Information Network Modernization Plan. The USMC seeks to rectify its current C2 architecture, which is composed of disparate and duplicative legacy systems through TSOA. TSOA will enable a collapse of this disparate C2 construct and create a Net-Centric environment where Marines employ user-centered applications that access required information across Authoritative Data Sources (ADS). This will be achieved through the CD&I directed TSOA compliance effort to reduce duplicative product development and enable a divestiture of legacy disparate systems. This requires additional effort to ensure other ADS's are compliant with the TSOA product line. TSOA's purpose is to ensure that Marines receive the right information from trusted and accurate sources, when and where it is needed.

Tactical Communications Modernization (TCM): TCM contains multiple CMC Force Design programs. TCM supports the research, testing, and evaluation of non-developmental tactical voice and data radio systems for mounted and dismounted operations within all echelons of the Marine Air-Ground Task Force. The testing will ensure the communication systems are joint networking capable and support National Security Agency (NSA) Communications Security (COMSEC) Modernization requirements. The funding provides contracted engineering support, facility test support, and test reporting for multiple systems. These include the Multi-Band Radio's (MBR II), Mobile User Objective System (MUOS), High Frequency Radio II (HFR II), Multi-Channel Radio Family of System (MCR FoS) [Multi-Channel Man Pack (MCMP) and Multi-Channel Handheld (MCHH)] radios, Ground Link-16, antennas, current systems requiring updates or obsolescence issues, and Joint Enterprise Network Manager (JENM). Networking On-the-Move (NOTM) - NOTM is a critical CMC Force Design program, essential to achieving Force Design full operational capability (FOC) by 2030. NOTM is a critical enabler for "Command and Control (C2) in a Degraded Environment," a Force Design Line of Effort. NOTM enables persistence inside contested environments, and the conduct of sea denial operations as part of the Naval Expeditionary Force. NOTM achieves this by providing a state-of-the-art turn-key open architecture solution that enables forces to exercise C2 across operational domains - land, sea, air, and while transitioning between domains, by providing terrestrial line of sight and beyond line-of-sight satellite communication gateway services, and access to services and applications that enable forces to exercise C2 while transitioning between static and mobile positions. NOTM provides critical radio, voice, and C2 datalinks to key leaders in dynamic environments across multiple domains. The USMC has two NOTM programs, the NOTM Ground Combat Vehicle (NOTM-GCV), and the NOTM Airborne (NOTM-A) with requirements to field kits for the following platforms: NOTM-GCV variants include High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV), Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV), Amphibious Combat Vehicle - Command variant (ACV-C), and Ultra-Light Tactical Vehicle (ULTV).

This funding line includes the current operational solution, Multi-Function Electronic Warfare (MFEW) Family of Systems (FoS) which replaced the legacy Counter Radio Controlled Improvised Explosive Device (RCIED) Electronic Warfare (EW) or CREW, system in FY 2018. MFEW added significant additional force protection including Counter-Unmanned Aircraft System (CUAS) and rudimentary offensive EW capabilities that will support operations past FY 2030. The future operational solution will be fulfilled by a future system, a critical Force Design program that enables the Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations (EABO) construct by facilitating ground-based EW. A future system will be developed using the Command, Control, Computers, Communications, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance(C5ISR)/EW Modular Open Suite of Standards (CMOSS) and Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA) standards, in coordination with the Army, Navy, and Air Force. This will provide an open architecture of non-proprietary hardware and software platforms that will eliminate some proprietary equipment Marines currently carry, which will lower the weight and power requirements, reduce training burdens, lower procurement costs, and reduce sustainment costs. The future system will be employed throughout the Fleet Marine Force and provide coordinated EW in support of Fires and Maneuver, Force Protection, Spectrum Management, and Battlespace Awareness.

Composite Tracking Network (CTN) - The Composite Tracking Network (CTN) is a Commandant of the Marine Corps (CMC) Force Design (FD) program which distributes composite tracking data to Command and Control (C2) and weapon systems participating in the US Navy's Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC) network, which is a sensor network with integrated fire control capability that improves battle force air and missile defense capabilities by combining data from multiple battle force air search sensors on CEC-equipped units into a single, real-time, composite track picture. CTN greatly enhances fleet air defense working in concert with CEC by significantly contributing to real-time situational awareness. The program received ACAT III designation in Nov 2001 and is an instantiation of the USN CEC Program. The program is USMC led with US Navy and US Army cooperation. The 12 April 1995 Mission Need Statement (MNS) No. AAS 48 for the Common Aviation Command and Control System (CAC2S) established the Marine Corps' need to upgrade its existing air defense architecture with capabilities to support improved situational awareness (SA) and advanced engagement concepts. The Composite Tracking Network (CTN) program was initiated to address this capability gap. The CTN system (AN/MSQ-143A(V)1) is an integration effort consisting of an AN/USG-4B (the USMC CEC CTN platform) and other US Marine-unique components. The CTN system interfaces with the AN/TPS-80 Ground/Air Task Oriented Radar (G/ATOR) and the Common Aviation Command and Control System (CAC2S) to provide the Marine Air-Ground Task Force (MAGTF) and Joint Task Force Commanders a real-time, line of sight, high data-rate sensor and engagement data distribution network that combines all distributed sensor data, including G/ATOR measurements, into a fire control quality track picture which is the same for all CEC network nodes. CEC data combined with G/ATOR contributions, will effectively increase Situational Awareness by providing accurate, composite, and real-time surveillance tracks, reduce ground-to-air and air-to-air fratricide, enable air and surface Naval Integrated Fire Control-Counter Air (NIFC-CA), and extend the air defensive capability of forces in the littorals.
