The Missile Defense Agency began its next round of battle network upgrades with a bang, issuing three task orders worth a total of over $846.6 million to Lockheed Martin for services, software, and other aspects of what the company is calling C2BMC-Next.
The effort aims to improve MDA’s long-standing Command, Control, Battle Management, & Communications (C2BMC) network, which first went operational in 2004, by adding new satellite feeds and other sensors, streamlined interservice data-sharing and even AI algorithms.
