MISSION

Provides commanders standardized and mobile command posts with a tactical, fully integrated, and digitized physical infrastructure to execute Networked enabled Mission Command (NeMC) and achieve information dominance.

DESCRIPTION

The Command Post Systems and Integration (CPS&I) Standardized Integrated Command Post Systems (SICPS) product office provides commanders with standardized, mobile, and fully integrated command posts for the modular expeditionary force, including support for Future Force capabilities and Joint and coalition forces. The SICPS-based command post is where commanders and their staffs collaborate, plan, and execute NeMC, maintain situational awareness using the Common Operational Picture (COP) and make decisions based on available information. Per the SICPS Capabilities Production Document (CPD), a family of Command Post Platforms (CPP) with Standardized Shelters, Command Center Systems (CCS), Command Post Communications Systems (CPCS), and Trailer Mounted Support Systems (TMSS), is currently being fielded to the Army’s active component, Army National Guard, and Army Reserve units.

SICPS provides the integrated NeMC platform and infrastructure to allow shared situational understanding of the COP based on the various Army and Joint command and control, communications, and network systems in the command post. Scalable and modular, SICPS supports echelons from battalion through Army Services Component Command providing tactical flexibility to support all phases of operations. By integrating the tactical internet with current and future mission command capabilities, command post operations are revolutionized through a combination of state-of-the-art data processing, communications, and information transport methods to achieve information dominance.
