This project was established in response to a charter from ASD/C3I identifying the Air Force as the Executive Agent for Theater Air Defense Battle Management Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (TAD BMC4I). In order to establish a single DoD organization for joint theater air and missile defense requirements, the Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff have formed the Joint Theater Air and Missile Defense Organization (JTAMDO). By direction of OSD and JCS, the funding and activities of the EA TAD BMC4I program transferred to PE 0605126J so FY97 is the final budget year for EA TAD BMC4I.

(U) A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification

The EA TAD BMC4I program described below supported the study, analysis, demonstration and establishment of integrated TAD BMC4I which fuses and expands on existing capabilities to support the theater CINCs. It involved defining baseline TAD BMC4I architectures and developing near-term and objective architectures; analyzing TAD BMC4I issues in a coordinated Joint Staff/Services/CINCs/Defense Agencies manner; reviewing TAD requirements, programs, systems, architectures, studies, modeling and any associated impacts on TAD BMC4I interoperability; identifying TAD BMC4I shortfalls and proposed solutions; establishing and maintaining a TAD BMC4I requirements data base; assessing allied TAD BMC4I issues; and supporting exercises and demonstrations of integrated TAD BMC4I capabilities.

(U) FY 1996 ($ in Thousands):

(U) $1,630	Developed baseline TAD BMC4I integrated architectures.
(U) $9,555	Performed interoperability reviews for requirements, programs, systems, architectures, and modeling for TAD BMC4I. Explored Service and Joint BMC4I systems for disconnects and opportunities to improve joint integrated BMC4I.
(U) $650	Developed TAD Command and Control (C2) Plan.
(U) $527	Supported CINCs' assessments of operational Theater Air Defense capabilities, identified procedural and architectural shortcomings, and experimented with potential procedural and hardware/software solutions and demonstrations which support TAD architecture.
(U) $12,362	Total

(U) FY 1997 ($ in Thousands):

(U) $4,046	Developed framework and concepts for architecture validation and migration roadmap for near-term TAD BMC4I architecture (FY2003), including required system, technical and operational/functional migrations. Developed near-term TAD BMC4I architectures including required systems level and framework for technical standards development for future TAD enhancements.
(U) $4,871	Continued interoperability reviews for requirements, programs, systems, architectures, and modeling for TAD BMC4I. Explored Service and Joint Battle Management Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (BMC4I) systems for disconnects and opportunities to improve joint integrated BMC4I.
(U) $ 720	Continued Command and Control (C2) Plan development to fully integrate Battle Management and Intelligence functions, and planned automated Joint TAD BMC4I planning capability.
(U) $2,373	Funded management support activities.
(U) $12,010	Total
