Personnel Recovery Command & Ctrl (PRC2)

The Personnel Recovery Command and Control (PRC2) program aims to develop and deliver tools and services for planning, collaborating, and managing search and rescue efforts, as well as disseminating related information to all personnel recovery mission coordinators across the PR network. This program provides an adaptive and networked system, delivering timely situational awareness information supporting personnel accountability and recovery mission management worldwide. The program also aims to deliver a globally accessible, collaborative, inter-operable, and integrated set of capabilities to prevent, prepare for, and respond to joint/coalition military personnel recovery activities, and civilian rescue missions. The program's objectives include developing the Personnel Recovery Mission Manager (PRMM) 3.1 using Agile Development, Security, and Operations (DevSecOps), as well as collecting, storing, and delivering personnel/identity biometric data, emergency locator beacon registrations, Isolated Personnel (IP) reports, evasion plans of action, incident reports, and other information management capabilities.

The PRC2 program also includes studies and analysis to support both current program planning and execution, as well as future program planning. In FY24, the program will continue modifications using an Agile DevSecOps strategy to develop and test in two-week increments with the capability to field by individual story after fielding Configuration Control Board (CCB) approval from Major Command (MAJCOM). The modifications will improve/validate IP events/alerts and enable case files for Defense Prisoner of War/Missing Personnel Office (DPMO) and Joint Personnel Recovery Agency (JPRA). The program's goals align with the Joint Personnel Recovery (JPR) Initial Capability Document (ICD) (2012) articulating capabilities needed for PRC2.
