Dismounted Mission Command Backup


2019 AUSA CV, MCoE, and MCDID Industry DayDismounted Mission Command

Nett WarriorDescription: Uses commercial smart devices with tactical applications networked through tactical radios to provide dismounted leaders situational awareness (SA) during combat operations

Capabilities:- Provides SA/Understanding to the dismounted

leader (Team Leader & above) - Faster, more accurate decisions in the tactical fight- Connects the dismounted Soldier to the BCT Network

• Critical Tactical Capability:- Where am I?- Where are other friendly forces?- Where are enemy forces?- What information do I need?

Networked Leaders:- Mission Command thru JCR / JBC-P / MCE

• Tactical Messaging: - SALUTE Report- Obstacle Report- Engagement Report- NBC strike Report- MEDEVAC- IED Report

Linked to Army Blended Training:- Army Training Network

• Dismounted SituationalAwareness/Mission Command

• Digital Chemlights• Map overlays and graphics



Connecting Soldiers and Squads to the NetworkDescription: Use commercial smart devices with tactical applications to

provide dismounted leaders situational awareness during combat operations

• Where We Are Today:- Using Commercial off the shelf End User Devices (Keeps pace with technological advances)

- Technological improvements insertions

- Two Channel Transport (Tactical Scalable MANET)

• Where We Are Going:- Future capability integration: Intra-Soldier Wireless: Enable Soldier-Worn Systems to communicate and share

power Networked Lethality Full Motion Video Control of Soldier Borne Sensors COE Integration/Synchronization IVAS

Dismounted Mission Command Focus Area

1. Platform Communications & User Device IntegrationProblem Statement: It is imperative that today’s suite of Mission Command software and hardware be modernized into a single software platform portable to any display (on Soldier, vehicle, combat platform, Command Post) and integrate mission command communications equipment, mission command applications, and user devices seamlessly into platforms.

2. Self-generating, Self-healing, Multilayered NetworkProblem Statement – Essential to future Mission Command success is an Army network that is infrastructure-less, wireless, and contains mobile nodes that allow easily self-healing and multi-layered that can be employed and maintained by Soldiers (e.g. without the physical configuration by an IT specialist).

3. Urban Environment CommunicationsProblem Statement – Mission Command in urban environments is a challenge due to high signal density exacerbated by physical (structural, subterranean) and virtual (cell phone, mobile, wireless emissions) clutter that reduce effectiveness in application of Mission Command.

4. Decision Aids / Artificial IntelligenceProblem Statement – The Army uses narrow forms of AI and does not capitalize on emergent forms of modern machine learning. The Army must understand the requirements necessary to effectively employ a more general form of artificial intelligence to process certain tasks and functions that are data-heavy or generally repeatable and then rapidly suggest courses of action (COAs) to the Commander, who ultimately makes the final decision.

Mission Command Problem Sets – 1 of 22020 AUSA, MCoE and MCDID Industry Day


5. Integrating Secure, Commercial Cloud EnvironsProblem Statement – The Army must incorporate multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) and distributed access points and leverage cloud technology at the tactical level to enable flexible, intuitive, and collaborative Mission Command tools that enhance information sharing and gathering as we move into areas of operation with evolving complexities.

6. Tactically Dispersed Command PostsProblem Statement – The Army must develop a tactical computing environment with reduced digital footprints while enabling transfer of information among sensors, decision makers, and other networked (UAP) sensors and battlefield information throughout all echelons in an environment of growing communications and network paths found in varying levels of Command Posts.2. Self-generating, Self-healing, Multilayered Network Problem Statement – Essential to future Mission Command success is an Army network that is infrastructure-less, wireless, and contains mobile nodes that allow easily self-healing and multi-layered that can be employed and maintained by Soldiers (e.g. without the physical configuration by an IT specialist).

7. Multi-Domain Situational UnderstandingProblem Statement – Multi-domain battle requires Mission Command staff processes that analyze all domains to find the opportunities in time and space to generate overmatch, present multiple dilemmas to the enemy, and enable joint force freedom of movement and action.
