This proposal describes a plan to meet the Missile Defense Agencys requirement to develop a framework for missile defense operations planning with embedded training, including missile defense threat engagement operations management planning, operations contingency planning, and training of operators to execute those plans. A system that Integrates planning and training operations will greatly benefit the effectiveness of Ballistic Missile Defense Systems (BMDS) operations. This proposal document describes an approach to leverage state-of-the-art advances in software architecture, as well as proven processes to design and develop efficient, maintainable, and reliable software to meet the needs of critical operations such as ballistic missile defense. EnVention will leverage its experience in developing over two million lines of command and control software for tactical defense, along with modern software resources such as open source software, and develop a prototype of a software application that will integrate planning and training operations, meeting the full requirements of both aspects of command and control for BMDS. Interoperability with existing and developing command and control systems will be a key element of enVentions software requirements, architecture and design. Example systems targeted for interoperability include MDAs C2BMC, the Armys IBCS, and the Navys AEGIS Command and Control system.
