BMC The Command and Control, Battle Management, and Communications (C2

BMC) program is a key component of the Missile Defense System. It is a vital operational system that enables the U.S. president, the secretary of defense, and combatant commanders at strategic, regional, and operational levels to plan ballistic missile defense operations systematically, monitor the battle collectively, and dynamically control networked sensors and weapon systems to achieve global and regional mission goals.

C2

BMC supports layered missile defense capabilities that enable an optimized response to threats across all ranges and flight phases. It serves as a force multiplier by networking, integrating, and synchronizing autonomous sensor and weapon systems and operations globally and regionally to improve performance. C2

BMC is essential for all ground and flight tests that verify and demonstrate current and future missile defense system capabilities.

Essential Functions:

• Focus on software development, including building post-processing analysis tools and visualizations to evaluate C2

BMC performance

• Write efficient Java and Python code to:
o Refactor legacy components to improve scalability, latency, and resource utilization

• Perform detailed performance analyses, produce actionable insights, and suggest architectural or algorithmic enhancements

• Support and develop the Jenkins/HTCondor automation platform by creating, maintaining, and troubleshooting pipeline jobs, scripts, and plugins

• Collaborate across teams to understand and conduct high-level analysis of C2

BMC performance

• Create and deliver analysis reports or briefs

• Maintain the C2

BMC analysis utilities, visualization dashboards, and data exploration notebooks to ensure they are current and thoroughly documented

• Convert current MATLAB tools into Java or Python

• Keep up to date with emerging Java/Python performance techniques, CI/CD tools, and database technologies, and actively suggest improvements
