Milestone 2
Department of Defence
Capability Development Group
Networked Battle Group (NBG)
2010 - 2011
This milestone will provide an automated Blue Force Common Operating
Picture (COP) within a battle group, from dismounted fire-team leader (half-
section level) through to mounted battalion headquarters. The battle
group will be based on a motorised infantry battalion headquarters.
A key effect of this milestone will be to provide combat ID based on shared
situational awareness (SA) and blue force tacking (BFT) for all dismounted
and mounted elements of the battle group.
The achievement of this milestone will be through the development of a
coherent battle management and communication infrastructure combined
with the application of tactics, techniques and procedures (TTP) that
support the networked battle group. The ability to exchange data with
external land elements and HQs is important however is not essential to
the achievement of this milestone.
IOC will be achieved by the delivery of effects attributed to:
Land 125 ph 3 Battle Management System - Dismounted (BMS-D) (C3I element).
Provides C2 and battle management systems to dismounted close combatant
fire-team leaders.
Land 75 Ph 3.4 Battle Management System - Mounted (BMS-M). Provides battle
management systems to all manoeuvre elements of the battle group.
JP 2072 Ph 1. Provides C3 systems to all manoeuvre elements of the battle
group.

Army has Agreed:
The need to impose a program management approach across
the three core projects.
The proposed block schedule that identifies the 6 RAR
Battlegroup as the first land force unit to receive co-ordinated
delivery of the communications capabilities to be delivered by
the three projects, followed by roll-out to the ELF Battalions (8/9
RAR and 7 RAR) and their supporting troops.
That 6 RAR’s role as Army’s ‘learn-by-doing’ NCW
transformation engine should be formalised as a directed task
for the initial 2010/2011 Introduction into Service (IIS) phase.
