Program detail
Mission & acquisition strategy
Section 872 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for FY 2018 (P.L. 115-91) directed the Secretary of War to task the Defense Innovation Board (DIB) to undertake a study on "streamlining [the Department's] software development and acquisition regulations." The Under Secretary of War for Acquisition and Sustainment (USW(A&S)) submitted the final report to Congress in May 2019. The DIB's report made recommendations aimed at transforming the way the Department acquires, develops, and deploys software and manages digital talent.
Congressional Add funds under MTC2 PE 0608231N acquisition strategy aligns to DoDI 5000.87 Operation of the Software Acquisition Pathway in FY 2021. MTC2 executes an agile software development that is responsive to fleet needs. Instead of operating under Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS) procedures, OPNAV N9DW directs MTC2's capability requirements through a Capability Needs Statement (CNS). Capability areas identified in the CNS direct the Minimum Viable Capability Releases (MVCRs) delivered by the program. MTC2's contract strategy for product delivery includes Other Transaction Authority (OTA) and Multiple Award Contract (MAC) vehicles to procure software development services.

Project detail
What project 3323 buys
Maritime Tactical Command and Control (MTC2) is a next generation Command and Control (C2) software program that will deliver Battle Management Aids (BMA) and Maritime Planning Tools (MPT) to dynamically plan, direct, monitor, and assess maritime operations in support of Joint, Multi-Service, and Coalition Force planning. MTC2 leverages a System of Services to deliver capabilities improving decision speed and dynamic synchronization of forces. BMAs / MPTs are small, capability-focused deliveries that can be rapidly developed, tested, and fielded. MTC2 leverages Science and Technology (S&T) investments and engages with the Navy Capability Requirements Council (CRC) to define and prioritize the BMAs and MPTs that MTC2 will deliver and align to the Program Executive Office (PEO) Command, Control, Communications, computers and Intelligence (C4I) enterprise architecture (Consolidated Afloat Network Enterprise Service (CANES), Agile Core Services (ACS)) for fielding to all echelons of command (Afloat and Ashore) within the Navy. The program's objective is to provide a suite of maritime applications (BMAs / MPTs) that enable planning, execution, monitoring, and assessment in support of operational, strategic, and tactical level of war requirements. MTC2 fields BMAs / MPTs designed to provide automated and structured support for tactical and operational planning, decision-making, and execution. As a software only program that leverages enterprise infrastructure, MTC2 provides new and improved capabilities to include improved browser enabled map, Scheme of Maneuver (SOM), Schedule of Events (SOE), and Operations Report 5 (OPREP5) visualizations that enables the warfighter to associate tracks to relevant data, past and predicted movements, ingest Meteorology and Oceanography information, and operational overlays. MTC2's updated architecture will enable future composable C2 capabilities to respond with a more rapid pace in changes in threats and technology. MTC2 is the Navy's solution to Global Force Management - Data Initiative (GFM-DI) which is Department of War (DoW) -wide enterprise solution that enables visibility/accessibility/sharing of data applicable to the entire DoW force structure.

What project 9999 buys
This Congressional Add provides for the demonstration of a ship-integrated coaxial drone prototype for autonomous Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR). This project will integrate Command and Control (C2), rigorous on-shore testing, and a final proof-of-concept demonstration within a representative fleet operational environment. The project directly supports the Chief of Naval Operations' objectives for Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) objectives in preparation for a 2027 peer or near-peer conflict.
