IBCS-A249-ADDENDUM B-003

12 April 2019

Scope The objective of this Acceptance Test Description / Procedure (ATD/P) addendum is to provide the detail test steps necessary demonstrate key functionality of the Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) Battle Command System (IBCS) Engagement Operations Centers (EOCs) and to confirm conformity of integrated hardware and software end items with the qualified baseline. The qualified baseline is the successful integration of the Major End Item (MEI) hardware and software.

IBCS Mission Assurance (MA) has the overall responsibility for all acceptance activities for the MEIs produced on the IBCS contract. In order to meet overall program milestones, the initial EOCs will be Acceptance Tested (AT) with the Operating System and Infrastructure Version (OIV) and Integrated Fire Control Network (IFCN) software. EOCs 1 through 5 is not expected to have IBCS software installed, which will limit some of the testing. The IBCS software version 4.5 is expected to be integrated into the EOC by the time EOC 6 is received which will enhance the functionality testing of the Unit Under Test (UUT).

Satisfaction of the following criteria shall constitute successful completion of the AT process:

1. Hardware components shall exhibit no defects during In-process and Functional Check-Out (FCO).

2. After hardware and software integration, Information Assurance (IA) scans and analysis will be conducted to ensure the system is in compliance with applicable Information Assurance Vulnerability Alerts (IAVA) and Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs) requirements to ensure IA hardening and reduce cyber vulnerabilities.

3. Following IA scans, MEI hardware initialization, system operations, data harvesting, and shutdown shall be completed without functional failure and/or error In Accordance With (IAW) the procedures detailed in this addendum.

IDENTIFICATION

This Acceptance Test Procedures – EOC – Addendum B, IBCS A249-002, is identified as Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL) A-249. This document defines and documents standards and procedures of system test steps for the Northrop Grumman Mission Systems IBCS EOC under contract number W31P4Q-08-C-0418.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

The Army Integrated Air and Missile Defense (AIAMD) System of Systems (ASoS) integrates current and future sensors, weapons, and their respective Command and Control (C2) into a networked Air and Missile Defense (AMD) system. The materiel solution for the ASoS C2 is the IAMD Battle Command System (IBCS).

IBCS provides the net-centric, Plug and Fight (P&F), System of Systems (SoS) Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) capability of the IAMD architecture. IBCS consists of two Major End Items (MEIs): the Engagement Operations Center (EOC) and the IBCS Integrated Fire Control Network (IFCN) Relay. The IBCS EOC provides C4ISR functions at battalion (BN) and battery (BTRY) echelons within the AMD Task Force (TF). Both the IBCS EOC and the IBCS IFCN Relay have a P&F B-Kit that enables IAMD weapon and sensor components to fight in the net-centric ASoS. Components to be integrated on the IFCN develop an A-Kit to connect to the IBCS B-Kit. The A-Kit provides the component specific details needed to adapt the sensor or weapon to the A/B Interface specification. Northrop Grumman produces the IBCS EOC and the IBCS IFCN Relay which draw from a set of Common software modules that provide track management, engagement operations, interface services (both human and machine), planning, training and supporting software infrastructural needs. IAMD weapon and sensor program offices provide the unique hardware and software items used for integration of their system’s A-Kit with the B-Kit. In addition, Northrop Grumman is developing the IFCN that integrates IBCS MEIs and ASoS-enabled sensors and weapons into a cohesive, network-centric task force.

The OV1- High Level Operational Concept, as defined by the Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) Capability Manager (TCM), is shown in Figure 11. OV1 – High Level Operational Concept, and includes IBCS, Lower Tier Project Office (LTPO) sensors and weapons, Cruise Missile Defense Systems (CMDS) Project Office sensors and weapons, as well as the IFCN.

Figure 11. OV1 – High Level Operational Concept

The IBCS architecture enhances the Warfighter’s ability to execute AMD battle command. By modernizing command and control, the kinematic capabilities of all weapons and detection and tracking envelopes of all sensors can be fully utilized. By establishing and invoking the Common standards sought by the Joint IAMD, the vision of a truly joint IAMD is realized. This innovative approach at modernization reduces manpower, enhances training, and reduces operation and support cost while at the same time providing a more robust and effective AMD.

IBCS EOC

The IBCS EOC consists of an S-280 Shelter which is unmanned during normal operations. The operators and staff work in an IBCS Collaborative Environment (ICE) HDT® AirBeam tent (see Figure 15). The S-280 Shelter provides two operator workstations so that operations can be conducted while the IBCS Collaborative Environment (ICE) is being setup. IBCS EOCs are configurable mobile deployable facilities used by IAMD Army System of Systems (ASoS) commanders and staffs to control Air and Missile Defense (AMD) forces at Battery (BTRY) through Battalion (BN) echelons. The IBCS EOC incorporates Non-Developmental-Item (NDI), Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS), Government-Furnished Equipment (GFE), and IBCS-developed Common Software Configuration Items (CSCI) within EOC software builds. The EOC shelters host IBCS, battle command and combat service support software suites, communications equipment, and interfaces with numerous non-battle command stations to serve as an information aggregation point.

EOCs utilize a Common hardware configuration and can be tailored in software to match the mission requirements of each respective echelon in both size and capability. The BTRY EOC is the standard EOC configuration and includes a single S-280 Shelter, which is transported on a M1148 9-ton truck, towing the Engagement Center Trailer (ECT) (See Figure 14). A BN EOC consists of two EOCs connected with a Tactical Fiber Optic Cable Assembly (TFOCA)-II fiber network. One of the BTRY S-280 / ICE pairs is intended for use in planning and support with the second S-280 / ICE pair performing engagement operations. For purposes of this test plan all EOCs will be tested in the BTRY configuration and any references to an EOC will be understood as BTRY EOCs, unless otherwise delineated.

Table 11. EOC Configurations by Echelon

The S-280 Shelter and IFCN / Highband Radio Frequency Unit (HRFU) antenna mast are mounted on the Container Roll-in/Out Platform (CROP) pallet and are offloaded for operations. The shelter is the basic building block for IBCS EOCs and provides space for two operators. The S-280 shelter includes equipment rack and cabling for IBCS servers and radios. The cable infrastructure provides Common interfaces for data, power, radio-frequency (RF) and audio connections in every EOC. Figure 12. Front Isometric View of EOC Prime Mover & S-280 Shelter

IBCS Production Test Asset (IPTA) IPTA 1 will be located at the production facility to support AT and will serve as the primary test support tool. It will be used to test EOCs without IBCS software and will be replaced or upgraded when EOCs with IBCS software become available. A second IPTA known as IPTA 2 may also be located at the production facility and will serve as a test tool backup. The IPTA includes a pair of equipment racks with standard MEI equipment needed to be utilized during EOC testing. During Acceptance Testing, the IPTA is meant to function such that the UUT perceives the IPTA as a tactical EOC. Furthermore the IPTA has a component known as Out of Band (OOB), which is composed of the necessary servers and processers for the IPTA to replicate A-side inputs by utilizing IBCS Test Exerciser (ITEx) test case scenarios. The UUT will be connected to IPTA using standard tactical connections.

The IPTA architecture is illustrated below in Figure 122.

Verify Test Articles Grounding

****CAUTION****

Prior to connecting commercial shore power or applying power to the EOC systems, verify by visual inspection that all equipment has been properly grounded and thresholds are IAW MIL-STD-464A, dated, 19 December 2002, to ensure proper operation and prevent an electrical hazard for the equipment or operator. The thresholds are 10 mOhms or less for inside the shelter and 20 mOhms or less for outside the shelter.

MEI HW is ground to a common facility ground
