based on projected platform installations over the FY12-17 Program Objective Memorandum (POM).
Next, to purchase satellite airtime, PM JBC-P worked in concert with the Defense Information Systems Agency to take advantage of General Services Administration Schedule 70 processes and craft a performance-based require- ment to enable bidders without BFT experience to compete. In addition, the PM surveyed the marketplace and crafted a performance work statement to best create competition while satisfying global operational requirements. Tis resulted in roughly a 25 percent reduction in the cost of satellite channels from the previ- ous contract and $86 million in projected cost avoidance over the FY13-19 POM.
Te third contract, which was awarded in June 2013, leveraged full and open com- petition to satisfy multiple requirements for mounted computing components to enhance Soldiers’ ability to plan, moni- tor and execute missions. Known as the Mounted Family of Computer Systems (MFoCS), this new capability allows mul- tiple command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR) programs and vehicle integrators to use common hard- ware components inside a vehicle and thus take advantage of economies of scale, simplified logistics, prequalified solu- tions and fully integrated components. Te PM staffed the requirements across services and among PEOs to ensure that specific capabilities were met, while mak- ing significant reductions in size, weight and power use.
LEATHERNECK TESTED
Not only does MFoCS satisfy JBC-P needs, it supports other C4ISR capa- bilities and software applications as well. An example of MFoCS component cost avoidance is that the average cost of a
Marines from the 2nd Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment joined the Army’s 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Armored Division at Fort Bliss, TX, in the spring for Network Integration Evaluation 14.2. The FBCB2/BFT program office is delivering substantial cost reductions as it upgrades the technol- ogy for future operations. The two-part system upgrade, consisting of JCR and JBC-P, will serve as the principal mission command system for the Army and USMC at the level of brigade and below.

complete JBC-P system dropped by more than 30 percent. If tallied over the current basis of issue plan, that represents an avoidance of more than $161.5 million.
MFoCS will support PM JBC-P’s Mounted
Computing Environment
(MCE), one of six approved computing environments that are part of the Army’s Common Operating Environment. PM JBC-P’s MCE will deliver a high-quality software development kit enabling pro- grams to rapidly develop, test and field mission command capabilities.
Te development of the MCE and MFoCS follows a series of other moves by PM JBC-P to reduce duplication
of system capability and create a more seamless user experience.
For example, the recent transition of the Movement Tracking System (MTS) into the PM JBC-P family of systems signifi- cantly increased capabilities while also reducing costs,
streamlining processes
and better aligning resources. MTS, a mostly vehicle-based system that tracks combat support and combat service support vehicles, uses a radio frequency identification capability to provide in- transit, near-real-time visibility of critical cargo. It previously was assigned to PEO Enterprise Information Systems.
By incorporating MTS in 2012, ahead of schedule, PM JBC-P immediately
