Joint Warfare is required to explore the full integrated capability of the Collaborative Mission Manager (CMM) suite, as a Multi Domain C2 Toolset. CMM is a product by currently in use with the US Department of Defence (DoD) under the name of Command and Control in the Information Environment (C2IE). It will also be able to support the requirement to communicate and transfer data with our main Bi-lateral partner and FVEYs community, a specified task under the Fully Networked Command, Control and Communication (FNC3) work strand.

Total Quantity or Scope

Detailed below are the requirements that UK StratCom will seek to meet as part of it’s experimentation with CMM. The provision of CMM, data and resources by RII will enable the following: ● Scope and evaluate software tools to support the functional delivery of a Joint Configurable Operating Picture (JCOP) for UK StratCom in order to provide robust and accurate Key User Requirement (KUR) document set and evidence to support both Capability Development (Cap Dev) and jHUB Projects. ● Inform, develop and demonstrate UK StratCom JCOP requirements to enable a unified data environment (Partner Network Environment (PNE)) for the operational level enabling interoperability with; tac, strat and with allies and partners. ● Develop and demonstrate user requirements for how audiences are displayed through the JCOP to support: situational awareness; MoE; Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) and the display of network analysis. • Review and test the utility of the concept of a permissions matrix which is consistent with the narrative and is controlled through the targeting process. (include in JTTP 3-81v3 as a concept under development) ● Demonstrate the ability to filter information from the tactical to the strategic domains for Commander’s decision support. ● The requirement to automate staff processes to optimise human machine teaming and minimise demands on staff and allow more time to address complexity to improve C2 effectiveness. ● Discover the full capability of the Command Planning Tools incorporated in CMM. ● Discover the ability to integrate CMM into MDI for the HQ and linkages with FNC3. ● Discover the ability to integrate CMM with data sources and systems by API to dynamically sense and understand across all domains, utilise historical data sets with the ability to identify patterns, deviations or changes in environments specific to the Audience Centric Approach.
