BMC3 is the Program Executive Office within Space Systems Command responsible for advancing operational and tactical command and control (C2) capabilities for space as well as leading the modernization and sustainment of the Satellite Control Network (SCN).

BMC3 is focused on delivering the most advanced, resilient, and integrated Space command, control, and communications (C3) systems to enable timely multi-domain warfighting. This includes modernizing our infrastructure and networks to support advanced tactical C3 as well as empowering decision makers with modern Ops C2 capabilities to employ space warfighting effects at the right place, right time and quicker than ever.

Tactical Command, Control, & Communications (TC3)

Tactical Command & Control (TC3): drives enterprise integration and modernization of tactical level C3 capabilities to transform satellite operations.

Satellite Control Network

Satellite Control Network (SCN): addresses common sustainment and TT&C problems with the ground stations in the SCN today by leveraging work already done, move toward a common baseline to make sustainment manageable in the future, and evolve technology in network to allow for development efforts to work within the SCN.

Operational Command & Control

Operational Command & Control (Ops C2): provides Space Domain Awareness, Coalition & Theater Support, Battle Management Command and Control (BMC2), and Indications and Warning (I&W) capabilities by linking operators with developers via a Development, Security, and Operations (DevSecOps) approach.

Future conflicts will be decided by who holds the information advantage and who can deliver war-winning capabilities at speed. Historically, the U.S. has achieved and sustained this advantage as the dominant military force around the globe. However, strategic challengers are advancing their military competencies to conduct joint operations, and are enhancing their joint command, control, and communications systems and logistics systems to achieve the same goals. They are making progress toward interoperability and integration as well as modernizing, diversifying, and expanding nuclear forces to establish an operational triad of nuclear capabilities.

As the threat environment grows in complexity, space plays a vital role in helping to tip the scale of competition to assure the U.S. remains the leading global military force. C3 systems are foundational to all military operations. These systems enable us to deliver information to plan, coordinate, and control forces and operations across a full range of missions, and when able to support multi-domain operations, to deploy these capabilities at unprecedented speed. Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) is our nation’s effort to establish agile and resilient command and control (C2) systems, across all domains, through enterprise and modernization initiatives.

Space-based assets and the C3 systems that provide access to these assets enable us to detect threats, deter aggression, and project space power to assure U.S. military superiority. The men and women of BMC3 are delivering the most advanced, resilient, and integrated Space C3 systems to enable timely multidomain warfighting. We are modernizing our infrastructure and networks to support advanced tactical C3 as well as empowering decision makers with modern Ops C2 capabilities to employ space warfighting effects at the right place, and the right time and more quickly than ever.
