STRAT WAR PLANNING SYS - USSTRATCOM

Abstract

The mission of USSTRATCOM is to establish and provide full-spectrum global strike, coordinated space and information operations capabilities to meet both deterrent and decisive national security objectives, and to provide operational space support, integrated missile defense, Global Command Control Communications and Computers Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR), and specialized planning expertise to the joint warfighter. This mission has been defined by the 2002 Unified Command Plan (UCP) changes 1 and 2. To enable completion of these missions, USSTRATCOM is modernizing the Integrated Strategic Planning and Analysis Network (ISPAN) (formerly known as SWPS), developing information systems and techniques to counter and conduct Navigation Warfare (NAVWAR) and establishing a unified national architecture integrating disparate Missile Warning/Missile Defense (MW/MD) systems into a single Internet Protocol (IP)-based system known as the Global Sensor Integrated Network (GSIN) to provide redundant and unambiguous MW/MD data to national leadership. When the ISPAN modernization is complete the system will support the warfighter in both deliberate and adaptive planning environments while allowing the National Command Authorities to employ the full spectrum of kinetic and non-kinetic weapons. The ISPAN system will continue to evolve as weapon systems are matured, new systems are developed, and the threat changes, particularly in the area of worldwide proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD). Navigation Warfare (NAVWAR) is a warfighting application of electronic warfare (EW), Information Operations (IO) and space control (SC) employing various techniques and technologies to negate or prevent hostile use of positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) information and protect unimpeded use of PNT information by U.S., Allied, and Coalition Forces while not unduly disrupting peaceful use outside an area of operation. The Joint Navigation Warfare Center (JNWC) was established to integrate and coordinate NAVWAR PNT capabilities across the mission areas of intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, information operations, electronic warfare, and space control. The JNWC is also commissioned to integrate NAVWAR into space operations and assists the warfighter with subject matter expertise to “operationalize” NAVWAR, encouraging the NAVWAR view that the Global Positioning System is a taskable weapons system in addition to being a worldwide PNT service. The JNWC establishes and maintains the Department’s premier basis of NAVWAR expertise, and provides subject matter expertise and knowledge support to warfighters, Department decision makers, the Federal Interagency (the Department of Homeland Security and other civil agencies concerned with the Critical National Infrastructure), and the coalition through testing and evaluation; modeling, simulation and analysis; and exercise and training support. The Nation's strategic C2, sensors and mission planning programs can not rapidly exchange information across multiple missions, creating ambiguity that delays time critical national C2 decision making processes. GSIN establishes a unified national architecture integrating disparate MW/MD systems into a single IP-based system providing redundant and unambiguous MW/MD data to national leadership. GSIN nets together all sensors, from tactical to strategic, including the Nation's most modern and capable assets - taking advantage of their larger numbers, improved algorithms, mobility and forward deployment to provide earlier cross-cueing and expanded decision space when every second counts. GSIN will permit an IP-based User Defined Operational Picture (UDOP)to augment voice conferencing and rapidly build a single, unambiguous missile event picture allowing real-time senior collaboration for nuclear C2 and improved senior leader situational awareness (SA) and decision-making. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.
