It acts as a force multiplier by connecting, integrating, and synchronizing autonomous sensor and weapon systems and operations both worldwide and locally to improve overall performance. Additionally, C2BMC plays a key role in all ground and flight tests that verify and demonstrate the missile defense system's current and future capabilities. The primary responsibility of this role is to work as part of the C2BMC-G test team to test the C2BMC-G product and its interactions with external entities.
