AFC2ISRC – Air Force Command and Control & Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Center

As a Field Operating Agency of the Deputy Chief of Staff, War fighting Integration (AF/XI), the Air Force Command and Control & Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Center (AFC2ISRC) mission is to support AF/XI initiatives to influence, integrate and improve Air Force C4ISR capabilities. The AFC2ISRC is focused on Joint Force and Joint Force Air Component Commanders’ capability to dominate the battle space and control forces.

AFC2ISRC priorities are engaging the joint war fighter through the Joint Forces Command Joint Battle Management Command and Control Board of Directors; executing the Air Force Chief of Staff’s vision of the Air and Space Operations Center (AOC) Weapons System, and developing and fielding the C2 Constellation. Key nodes focusing on horizontal integration within the C2 Constellation include the AOC, Distributed Common Ground System, and the E-10A Multi-sensor Command and Control Aircraft. The information superhighway, dubbed “Constellation Net”, includes ground, air, and space communications such as the Global Information Grid, the Joint Tactical Radio System, and the Multi-Platform Common Data Link.

The Center represents war fighters from all the Major Commands and provides the operational war fighter perspective to Air Force C4ISR spiral development and systems acquisition commands and processes. The Center includes the Command and Control Battle lab (C2B), the Air Force Transformation Center (AFTC), and the Air Force Experimentation Office (AFEO) which leads the planning and execution of continuous experimentation culminating with the large scale Joint Expeditionary Force Experiment (JEFX) executed bi-annually.
