The Command and Control, Battle Management, and Communications (C2BMC) system is a hardware and software interface for the ballistic missile defense system (BMDS) that integrates data from multiple sensors and fire control units. This integration helps to build a common picture of the battlespace for operators across the BMD and enables the warfighter to select optimal firing solutions based on the BMDS status, system coverage, and ballistic missile tracks. It also allows combatant commands to plan engagements, particularly for missions that require coordination between a number of BMDS elements. As of 2016, there were more than 70 C2BMC workstations fielded across every combatant command with BMDS assets in the region.
