Joint Command and Control Capability Area

The Joint Command and Control Capability Area (JOINT C2) is a Department of Defense acquisition program focused on theater surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities. Based on the associated contract awards, the program appears to be closely tied to the Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System (JSTARS), which provides ground moving target indication and air surveillance support for theater operations. The program operates under DoD Acquisition Program Number 476 and supports broader command and control mission requirements.

The contract awards associated with this program primarily involve modifications to the JSTARS Theater Surveillance and Reconnaissance System (TSSR), with awards ranging from approximately $54,000 to $5.5 million. Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, specifically its Aeronautics Systems Division, serves as the primary contractor for these modifications, with work performed at their Melbourne, Florida facility. The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Robins Air Force Base is the primary contracting authority. Contract periods typically range from 16 months to over three years, with all identified awards utilizing firm fixed-price delivery orders. None of the contracts reviewed included set-aside designations, and no subcontractors were specifically identified in the available data.
