Milestone 2 Networked Battle Group (NBG) 2010 -
2011

• This milestone will provide an automated Blue
  Force Common Operating Picture (COP) within a
  battle group, from dismounted fire-team leader
  (half-section level) through to mounted battalion
  headquarters. The battle group will be based on
  a motorised infantry battalion headquarters.
• A key effect of this milestone will be to provide
  combat ID based on shared situational awareness
  (SA) and blue force tacking (BFT) for all
  dismounted and mounted elements of the battle
  group.
• The achievement of this milestone will be through
  the development of a coherent battle management
  and communication infrastructure combined with
  the application of tactics, techniques and
  procedures (TTP) that support the networked
  battle group. The ability to exchange data with
  external land elements and HQs is important
  however is not essential to the achievement of
  this milestone.
• IOC will be achieved by the delivery of effects
  attributed to
• Land 125 ph 3 Battle Management System -
  Dismounted (BMS-D) (C3I element). Provides C2 and
  battle management systems to dismounted close
  combatant fire-team leaders.
• Land 75 Ph 3.4 Battle Management System - Mounted
  (BMS-M). Provides battle management systems to
  all manoeuvre elements of the battle group.
• JP 2072 Ph 1. Provides C3 systems to all
  manoeuvre elements of the battle group.

• Assumptions
• ELF legacy capability (voice C2) not delivered by
  DCP.
• ELF new capability delivered in line with
  associated DCP Phase.
• L75-3.4 to lead integration on vehicles.
• L125-3 to lead integration on all dismounted
  platforms (RAInf CS).
• JP2072-1 to provide Pri 1 to L75 and L125 as GFM.
• Intent to deliver new capability to units once
  only
• Intent to install new capability on vehicles once
  only.
• Network MS LD2 BG (6RAR) is ME for C4 capability
  delivery. Other units to follow.
• L125-3 C3I component does not impact on L125-3
  non C3I capability delivery schedule.

Army has Agreed

• The need to impose a program management approach
  across the three core projects.
• The proposed block schedule that identifies the 6
  RAR Battlegroup as the first land force unit to
  receive co-ordinated delivery of the
  communications capabilities to be delivered by
  the three projects, followed by roll-out to the
  ELF Battalions (8/9 RAR and 7 RAR) and their
  supporting troops.
• That 6 RARs role as Armys learn-by-doing NCW
  transformation engine should be formalised as a
  directed task for the initial 2010/2011
  Introduction into Service (IIS) phase.
