STOM Bridge

What is a STOM Bridge? • STOM Bridge is an Architectural Approach designed to: • • • Bridge battlefield Command Control over distance Enable Marines anywhere on the battlefield to access data through current T/E systems Enables near-term (04 -05) development of data networking TTPs Provide a stable “Interim Communications Architecture” that remains relevant when JTRS and TCA arrive. Shortens the acquisition timeline for C 2 capabilities

CID

CID CAPABILITY CID is “The process of attaining an accurate characterization of detected objects in the joint battlespace to the extent that high confidence, timely application of military options and weapons resources can occur. ” PLUS Situational Awareness Target Identification (Includes BFT) Family of Systems Training Doctrine, Tactics, Techniques & Procedures Supports Fratricide Reduction & Increased Combat Effectiveness Across Four Mission Areas Air-Surface; Surface-Air; Air-Air

Combat Identification (CID) Challenge A-S S-A A-A Doctrine, TTP Training SA Systems DACT, C 2 PC, TLDHS, GPS, AFATDS, EPLRS, TPS-59, Grenadier Brat, MTX, Radiant Blue, Iridium Cooperative & Non Cooperative TI Systems NVD, MCTIS Weapons Platforms & Systems
