Mission Description and Budget Item JustificationThe Mounted Battle Command On The Move System (MBCOTM) is a Command, Control, Computers, Communications, Intelligence (C4I) mission equipment package(B Kit) integrated onto Bradley, Stryker and Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) platforms which allows commanders to move to the decisive point on thebattlefield. The focus of MBCOTM is to facilitate commander execution of net centric operations versus command post centric operations. MBCOTM provides thebattlefield Commander situational awareness in the form of a digital common operational picture, enabling a Commander to maintain situational understanding while OnThe Move and when physically separated from the fixed Command Post performing Battlefield circulation. MBCOTM supports the mission area command and controlby integrating network and SATCOM enablers to include components resident in the WIN-T Increment 2 architecture, as well as a number of Battelfield AutomatedSystems including Command Post of the Future (CPoF).MBCOTM program is being terminated as a result of competing fiscal priorities during the development of the FY 2011 President's Budget.
