Under the subcontract, the company will provide engineering expertise to further develop, integrate and test C2BMC, operate and sustain existing globally deployed C2BMC assets, and provide test and exercise support for the systems.

The C2BMC programme is the integrating element of the US Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS), designed to defend the nation and its allies against a range of incoming ballistic missile threats.

The system links the various BMDS sensors and weapon systems, including ground-based interceptors, Patriot and Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) batteries into an integrated system with a common battlespace view allowing commanders, and national command centres, including the White House and Pentagon to coordinate defences.

C2BMC provides the warfighter with a reliable, flexible and real-time capability to plan, monitor and manage the US defence, its deployed forces and allies against all ranges of ballistic missile threats in all regions and in any phase of flight.
