JBC-P
Capabilities Development & Integration Directorate
JBC-P is the cornerstone of joint forces digital communications for
Command and Control (C2) and Situational Awareness (SA) information.
• Provides secure Blue Force Tracking capability in Platforms and Command Posts
• Provides soldiers and commanders a map-based Common Operating Picture of the battlefield
• Assists in fratricide prevention
• Provides Hardware (Vehicle Platform Computer Systems, BFT Satellite Transceivers, Encryption Devices, and ancillary equipment)
• Provides Software capabilities (JBC-P v1.6 ) in place of existing software (FBCB2 6.5; JCR v1.3)
• Leverages the Army’s previous equipment investments by installing the new JBC-P software on new hardware as well as existing legacy
computer systems.
