The Command and Control, Battle Management, and Communications (C2BMC) System
Lockheed Martin's DiamondShield system, known as the Command and Control, Battle Management, and Communications (C2BMC) system, plays a pivotal role in the Missile Defense Agency's (MDA) Missile Defense System (MDS). It acts as a force multiplier by globally and regionally connecting, integrating, and synchronizing sensors, weapon systems, and operations to enhance performance. Since its deployment in 2004, C2BMC has provided commanders with a comprehensive view of ballistic missile threats worldwide. By combining data from various sensors on land, sea, and space, C2BMC enables commanders to make informed decisions on how to track and engage these threats effectively.
Swift Capability Development and Continuous Improvement
Lockheed Martin, together with industry leaders like Boeing, General Dynamics, Northrop Grumman, and Raytheon, forms an agile team dedicated to advancing the C2BMC system. This collaborative approach allows for rapid development and deployment of new capabilities through continuous delivery pipelines and automated testing, ensuring software quality and reliability. Over the years, the team has implemented seven major operational updates to enhance the global capabilities of C2BMC. With further updates in the pipeline, Lockheed Martin is committed to staying ahead of evolving threats and strengthening the resilience of the Missile Defense System.
Global System, Global Reach, Global Support
C2BMC's modern architecture and extensive reach connect elements of the Missile Defense System across multiple time zones and strategic locations worldwide. By supporting commands in various regions, including the Strategic, Northern, European, Indo-Pacific, and Central Commands, C2BMC ensures a coordinated approach to missile defense. Furthermore, ongoing agile development processes aim to bolster the system's capabilities in tracking and countering advanced threats while fostering enhanced interoperability with U.S. allies. This collaborative effort underscores Lockheed Martin's commitment to providing global support and protection against evolving missile threats.
