In alignment with the Army's top priorities for C2FIX and network modernization, the CPI2 program will transition to the Command Post Modernization (CPMod) program in FY25. This change more accurately reflects the PdM’s current mission of supporting Army Network direction and strategic objectives. The program continues to tackle mobility, scalability and survivability of Army command posts. The program incorporates the five components of mission command—personnel, networks, information systems, process and procedures, facilities and equipment—integrating emerging technologies and leveraging Soldier feedback from experimental units.
Description
PdM CPMod addresses the challenges posed by contemporary and future land conflict, such as physical signatures, mobility, and standardization. Command post designs for this effort are integrating approved commercial off-the-shelf (COTS), government-off-the-shelf (GOTS) systems, and government programs of record (PoR) that support command post operational needs.
The CPMod program is comprised of four product lines, CPI2 Increment 0, Command and Control On The Move (C2OTM), Mounted Integrated Tactical Network (M-ITN) and Command Post Modularity. The increased mission responsibility streamlines mobile command and control (C2) efforts within the PEO, ensuring a coordinated and effective System of System approach to modernizing Army command posts
and command post platforms. CPMod will continue to assess and address command post modularity by improving current designs and influencing future requirements.
The CPI2 Inc 0 program is post Milestone C and is being fielded to multiple Army units. The program utilizes feedback from Soldiers to make improvements to the Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV) baseline. In the coming year, PdM CPI2 will field two more Army divisions with the Inc 0 solution. C2OTM will continue to equip three priority divisions with tailorable and modular on the move solutions to enhance their mission readiness. The Integrated Tactical Network (ITN) will continue to deliver an integrated package of PoR and COTS solutions to multiple formations and unit types, converging the concepts of ITN and C2OTM into a standardized package. All these efforts enable greater C2 of Army units, increasing lethality and survivability.
Capabilities
- CPMod leverages improvements in technology to reduce the current CP footprint and improve mobility / survivability. Through the integration of approved and fielded mission command information systems, GOTS and COTS technology CPMod ensures the operational needs of the division, brigade and battalion CPs are addressed.
- CPI2 Inc 0 utilizes the FMTV to host integrated workspaces while enabling commanders with the ability to rapidly disperse. The centerpieces of CPI2 Inc 0 are the Mission Command Platform (MCP) and Command Post Support Vehicle (CPSV) which serve as user workspace and server / communication platforms.
- C2OTM provides mobile and modular transit-case based solutions which can be easily moved between platforms or shelters while maintaining beyond line-of-sight communications. Additionally, select Army platforms within M-ITN formations receive an integrated C2OTM platform compatible with the M-ITN architecture. This allows commander’s maximum flexibility on the battlefield and improves survivability through mobility.
- M-ITN integrates a modernized communication, command and control package into multiple Army vehicles across all echelons of the force. These packages replace outdated stove-piped systems with a System of System network architecture, streamlining C2 across the formation.
- Command Post Modularity seeks to upgrade CPI2 Inc 0 platforms to make a more dismountable/modular solution as well as address future requirements.
