Tactical Mission Command
TMC

Product Manager (PdM) Tactical Mission Command (TMC) provides the Army with an integrated mission command capability across command post and platforms, through all echelons, and provides core services and applications, and warfighter functionality in the areas of fires, logistics, intelligence, airspace management and maneuver.
 
TMC provides a software and server hardware framework (common interface, data and services) upon which warfighter applications can be converged and future applications can be built. TMC provides an integrated, interoperable, cyber-secure and cost-effective computing infrastructure framework for multiple warfighting functions. TMC provides programs of record (PoRs) with a core infrastructure, including a common operating picture (COP) tool, data persistence, common applications such as mapping and chat, common hardware configurations and common user interface. This effort eliminates duplicative or redundant implementations, speeds up and simplifies future development efforts and enhances interoperability and data sharing across multiple echelons. 

Capabilities

  • Command Post Computing Environment (CPCE) delivers an easy-to-use common operational picture (COP) through a single mission command suite operated and maintained by soldiers. CPCE offers a common geospatial solution (map) and common data services, including an extensible database and data persistence, obtained through the Tactical Data Platform (TDP). The system is designed to reduce the training burden on Soldiers. 
  • ​Tactical Server Infrastructure (TSI) is the foundational server baseline that hosts CPCE and provides critical common services. Future development of the server infrastructure referred to as the Cloud Enabled Modular Infrastructure (CEMI), will support both Army and COTS cloud integration. CEMI is developed with open industry standards supporting Warfighting Functions WfFs and service consolidation onto lightweight software containers, which will increase infrastructure security, reduce hardware resource consumption, and provides a container development ecosystem that servers can operate as a cloud edge node while reducing license cost.
  • Tactical Data Platform (TDP), with first instance fielded in 1QFY25, enables data ingress/egress, synchronization, and management of coordinated data sets for visualization. TDP provides access to various enterprise data sets with the ability to map to a common, extensible, and Multi-lateral Interoperability Program (MIP)-based data model.  The data platform tools are currently hosted on the TSI with synchronization to Master Data Nodes and Tactical Data Nodes at Division, Corps and Army Service Component Command (ASCC). TDP will function as the path forward for convergence of WfF data.
  • The latest Tactical Server Infrastructure, or TSI, hardware is being fielded to units receiving CPCE. More than 270 units have been fielded TSI systems. TSI systems provide various improvements over the legacy Battle Command Common Services server stacks including an 800-pound weight reduction, a 50 percent reduction in setup and teardown time, and a reduction in the number of transit cases from nine to three, significantly increasing agility. The TSI will continue to modernize and improve size, weight, and power attributes as commercial server technology improves.
