CTN distributes sensor (AN/TPS-80 Ground/Air Tasked Organized Radar) measurement and composite track data and receives/distributes joint track data to C2 nodes and weapons systems participating in CEC networks. CTN provides an accurate representation of the airspace, enabling air and surface integrated fire control, and extending air defensive capability of forces stationed at sea.

Theater Battle Management Core System - Marine Corps (TBMCS-MC)

TBMCS-MC provides the Marine Corps with an air battle planning tool for Air Tasking Order and Airspace Control Order generation, dissemination, and execution of joint mandated integration air C2 system that enables air component commander to plan, direct, and control all theater air operations and to coordinate with land, maritime, and special operations elements. TBMCS provides situational awareness and assessment, airspace de-confliction, execution management, mission planning and re-planning, assault support processing, and close air support to the operational forces Fleet Marine Forces.
