INTEGRATED MISSION COMMAND NETWORK

Product Knowledge is actively soliciting demonstrable capabilities aligned to specific US Department of War-identified interest areas; companies and developers with mature or near-term solutions should submit inquiries via email to guru@productknowledge.cc and include the following information as a single consolidated submission: Company Name, Company Address, Company Point of Contact, POC email address and phone number, a concise two-page capability description, representative images, and videos of the capability; briefing decks or existing marketing materials may be included as supplemental attachments.

Submissions should focus on practical, employment-ready capabilities rather than conceptual research or long-term development efforts.

Integrated Mission Command Network
Integrated Mission Command Network enables commanders to maintain continuous command and control across dispersed, mobile formations by fusing resilient transport, assured timing and navigation, and predictive decision support into a survivable digital backbone. By combining transport-agnostic mesh networking, protected multi-orbit SATCOM, private 5G, assured PNT, advanced combat net radios, and predictive C2 tools, the network sustains mission command despite jamming, cyber attack, or kinetic disruption. In large scale combat operations (LSCO), this integration preserves tempo, enables rapid command post displacement, and extends the commander’s ability to visualize, describe, and direct operations across depth and domains in accordance with FM 6-0 and FM 3-0.​

a. Transport-Agnostic Mesh Networking
Transport-agnostic mesh networking provides a dynamically self-forming, self-healing routing fabric that allows mission command systems, sensors, and shooters to remain connected regardless of which physical transport layers are operational. The mesh automatically detects available links—LOS radios, high-capacity SATCOM, troposcatter, fiber, microwave, or 5G—and shifts data flows without operator input. This enables CPCE, AFATADS, JBC-P/BFT, and ISR feeds to sustain functionality even as individual paths are jammed or destroyed, aligning with ATP 6-02.75 resilience principles.​
Operationally, this gives divisions and BCTs the ability to maintain tempo while conducting dispersed, mobile maneuver under EW threat. It enables survivable command posts capable of rapid jumps without loss of digital services and supports FM 6-0 by extending the commander’s ability to visualize, describe, and direct operations despite contested spectrum conditions.​

b. Next-Generation, High-Capacity SATCOM Terminal
Next-generation SATCOM terminals provide multi-orbit, anti-jam, high-throughput BLOS communications using electronically steered arrays and protected tactical waveforms. These terminals maintain connectivity even under deliberate jamming or kinetic targeting and dynamically shift among LEO/MEO/GEO constellations.​
Operationally, they enable near-real-time ISR fusion, deep fires coordination, and predictive logistics across extended frontages. This supports on-the-move mission command and preserves C2 continuity for divisions and corps under LSCO conditions, directly reinforcing FM 3-0 deep operations.​

c. Predictive C2 Platform for Operations
A predictive C2 platform fuses ISR data, logistics information, enemy behavior patterns, and operational trends to forecast risk, anticipate enemy COAs, and recommend courses of action. It leverages machine learning to surface opportunities and threats before they manifest on the COP.​
Operationally, predictive C2 accelerates decision-making and shortens targeting cycles. It supports preemptive positioning of forces, anticipatory sustainment, and better synchronization across warfighting functions—central to achieving decision dominance in FM 3-0.

d. Private 5G System
A private 5G system delivers secure, low-latency, high-bandwidth connectivity for dense digital environments such as command posts and sustainment hubs. It employs a dedicated radio access network and core for mission-critical applications, ensuring EM discipline and cybersecurity not available in commercial networks.​
Operationally, private 5G enhances CP mobility, supports rapid jumps, and enables distributed mission command. It provides a resilient data environment for autonomous systems, ISR feeds, and mission systems while protecting U.S. data boundaries in coalition settings.​

e. Assured Position Navigation and Timing (PNT)
Assured PNT combines inertial navigation, terrain correlation, celestial reference, and anti-spoofing GNSS receivers to maintain orientation and timing in GPS-denied environments. It ensures accuracy for fires, maneuver, deconfliction, and autonomous systems even under heavy EW attack.​
In LSCO, assured PNT preserves tempo, fires accuracy, and formation integrity during complex maneuvers and night operations. It prevents navigation blackout conditions that adversaries attempt to induce, ensuring synchronization across echelons as required by FM 3-0.​

f. Next-Gen Combat Net Radio
Next-generation CNR employs LPI/LPD waveforms, frequency agility, and advanced cryptographic protection to maintain secure voice and data communications under EW threat. It supports position reporting, call-for-fire data, and limited ISR feeds at platoon and company levels.​
Operationally, next-gen CNR reduces unit signature and enhances survivability by preventing enemy SIGINT targeting. It enables dispersed formations to remain connected while maintaining mobility and supports rapid fires integration across battalions and brigades.​
