Joint Battle Command-
Platform (JBC-P)
Family Of Systems
Description
JBC-P Family of Systems (FoS) is the Marine
Corps primary battlefield Command and Control
(C2) system. It provides tactical input and output of
battlefield digitized position location information and
Situational Awareness (SA) at the company, squad, and
vehicle levels. It enables enhanced combat effectiveness
of friendly forces. It populates the common tactical
picture and supports development of the common
operational picture. JBC-P FoS supports the full range
of military operations. JBC-P is Increment II of the
Force XXI Battle Command Brigade and Below program.
JBC-P builds on the experience of evolutionary
development of digital battle command information
systems and provides integrated, on-the-move, timely,
relevant C2/SA information to tactical combat, combat
support and combat service support commanders,
leaders, and key C2 nodes. JBC-P FoS provides
mounted, dismounted, and command post C2/SA capability
and will become the cornerstone of the Joint
Blue Force Situational Awareness envisioned to support
the joint warfighter.
Operational Impact
JBC-P FoS provides the Marine squad leader, platoon
commander, and company commander the ability
to send and receive updated tactical information,
changes to their respective operating environment, and
minute-to-minute changes in location of friendly forces
and other units within their immediate and extended
battlespace.
Program Status
JBC-P FoS Increment II is scheduled for Operational
Test in FY 2013. Fielding will begin in FY 2014.

Networking On-The-Move
(NOTM) Increment 1
Description
NOTM Increment 1 is a transformational Command
and Control (C2) capability for all elements of
the Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF). Increment
1 specifically targets urgent U.S Central Command
requirements but the program is envisioned to
address broader requirements in an incremental approach.
Leveraging expertise and lessons learned from
developing Mobile Modular Command and Control
systems operating in Operation Enduring Freedom
since 2009, Increment 1 is an Urgent Statement of
Need based rapid acquisition and fielding program
providing robust C2 On-The-Move through wideband
Satellite Communications and terrestrial data links.
Consisting of four subsystems, Point of Presence Vehicle
Kit (POP-VK) (A03877G), Staff Vehicle Kit (SV
Kit) (A03887G), Staff Kit (SK) (A04057G), and TEP
Modem Kit (TMK) (A03957G), NOTM Increment 1
provides three network enclaves, Secret Internet Protocol
Router, Unclassified but Sensitive Internet Protocol
Router and Mission Specific while incorporating Full
Motion Video, Voice Over Internet Protocol, and other
network centric capabilities all integrated on standard
USMC tactical vehicles. SV Kits and SK utilize ruggedized
laptops with a full suite of Joint Common Tactical
Workstation software accessing the Common Tactical
Picture and other C2 facilitating applications from
the POP-VK to the rear command operations center.
Operational Impact
NOTM Increment 1 enables commanders to better
exercise C2 while OTM and Beyond Line of Site and
provides transmission paths that enable mobile forces,
