Book excerpt: The U.S. Army's Maneuver Control System (MCS) has been under development for a third of the century but has failed to meet the command and control needs of field units. Of the five command and control programs that are part of the Army Tactical Command and Control System (ATCCS), MCS is the least mature and the least accepted program, yet it is the most important because MCS provides the means for all levels of command to share a Command picture of the battlefield. The software acquisition strategy, government and contractor organizations, and technical approach are identified as the key areas in need of improvement. The Army's paradigm for developing command and control systems has to change. Software prototypes have to be fielded every nine months. The government and contractor organizations should emphasize horizontal rather than vertical integration. The technical approach must be achievable within the constraints of existing low capacity communications systems and software updates should be consistent with a target technical architecture. The Program Executive Officer for Command and Control Systems and the Director of Information Systems for Command, Control, Communications, and Computers (DISC4) have the authority to make the recommended changes. The issue is whether the management focus will remain on the five individual ATCCS systems, or come to recognize ATCCS as a "system of systems."

Download or read book Training Field Grade Officers to Exploit the Maneuver Control System written by and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the U.S. Army transforms itself for future information age operations, it will rely heavily on the Army Battlefield Command Systems (ABCS) to provide digital Command and Control (C2) support to commanders throughout the theater of operations. ABCS is designed to provide the vertical and horizontal data flow required to achieve rapid decision-making and execution speeds needed to gain and retain informational dominance throughout future operations. As described in this monograph, the Maneuver Control System (MCS) provides this vertical and horizontal integration as a member of the Army Tactical Command and Control System (ATCCS), the middle layer of systems in the ABCS architecture. ABCS has the capability to provide the C2 support required by future commanders. At issue is whether the U.S. Army will train its leaders to exploit the provided technology, specifically the MCS. This monograph defines exploitation of technology (i.e., understanding its capabilities, recognizing its opportunities, and acting to multiply the affects of those capabilities); and provides reasons why it is necessary to train Army leaders to exploit technology, not just to use technology. ABCS use clearly improves C2 efficiency. ABCS exploitation combines and optimizes the strengths of decision-makers and systems to achieve even better and faster use of the technology. The focus of this monograph is, therefore, on the decision-maker/MCS interface, the point where exploitation of technology must occur in order to retain the technological initiative.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed weaknesses in the Army's efforts to develop segments of its Tactical Command and Control System, focusing on the: (1) All Source Analysis System; (2) Maneuver Control System; and (3) Common Hardware and Software. GAO found that: (1) the Army plans to develop a limited All Source Analysis System with the minimum set of features that users need and add features as it develops other versions; (2) the reduced Soviet threat and the availability of existing capabilities similar to the All Source Analysis System have eliminated the need for further procurement of the limited system; (3) although All Source Analysis System equipment can be used to help refine software and system requirements, the Army's unapproved test plan calls for software that does not meet user requirements; (4) the Army spent $155 million to acquire Maneuver Control System equipment that does not meet its requirements; (5) the Army is rushing the Maneuver Control System's development and acquisition process to make a production decision and acquire equipment at the end of fiscal year 1992, even though the revised test and evaluation master plan is not approved and the operational test criteria are not adequately defined; and (6) although the Army cited several reasons to justify acquiring larger, transportable Common Hardware and Software computers and requiring many users that only need the less expensive, portable versions to buy the larger units, the disparity between the $340 million increase in acquisition costs and the logistical and hardware savings, as well as other benefits, does not support the Army's position.

Download or read book Battlefield Automation: Software Problems Hinder Development of the Army's Maneuver Control System written by and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Army has spent over $765 million of the $1 billion estimated total cost for the Maneuver Control System (MCS) which is to provide battlefield information to maneuver commanders. Since 1980, the MCS program has experienced numerous problems, such as fielding inadequate computer software and canceling the development of one software version due to design flaws, cost growth, and schedule slips. Given the program's past difficulties and the important role of MCS in the Army's battlefleld automation efforts, we reviewed the Army's development and acquisition plans for MCS. Specifically, our objectives were to determine whether (1) the current MCS software development strategy is appropriate to overcome prior development problems and (2) 207 new computers for MCS related training should be procured as planned.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rapid progress in information and communications technologies is dramatically enhancing the strategic role of information, positioning effective exploitation of these technology advances as a critical success factor in military affairs. These technology advances are drivers and enablers for the "nervous system" of the militaryâ€"its command, control, communications, computers, and intelligence (C4I) systemsâ€"to more effectively use the "muscle" side of the military. Authored by a committee of experts drawn equally from the military and commercial sectors, Realizing the Potential of C4I identifies three major areas as fundamental challenges to the full Department of Defense (DOD) exploitation of C4I technologyâ€"information systems security, interoperability, and various aspects of DOD process and culture. The book details principles by which to assess DOD efforts in these areas over the long term and provides specific, more immediately actionable recommendations. Although DOD is the focus of this book, the principles and issues presented are also relevant to interoperability, architecture, and security challenges faced by government as a whole and by large, complex public and private enterprises across the economy.

Download or read book Should the Army Tactical Command and Control System Provide Command and Control Automation to the Heavy Maneuver Battalion/Task Force? written by Freddie A. Lee and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis seeks to answer the question: Does the Army Tactical Command and Control System (ATCCS), as specified by the U.S. Army Tactical C3I System of Systems, provide effective automation to the U.S. Army heavy Battalion (Mechanized/Armor). Future tactical operations will require C2 systems that are flexible and robust enough to respond to changing situations without burden to the soldier. This paper seeks to determine if Maneuver Control System (MCS) meets the heavy battalion automation needs. To date, ATCCS computer hardware and MCS have been plagued with significant deficiencies which are magnified at the battalion level. The major issues are the requirements for a user friendly system that enhances situational awareness and efficiently transmits data around the battlefield in a mobile environment. This study concludes that ATCCS should not provide the heavy maneuver battalion/task force with the current projected C2 automation. Other capabilities, such as the Intervehicular Information System (IVIS) and the Combat Vehicle Command and Control (CVC2) System, perform better in the criteria evaluated.
