Adv Field Artillery Tactical Data System
Abstract
There are two developmental efforts that are being executed concurrently. They are Advanced Field Artillery Tactical Data System (AFATDS) Increment 1 and Joint Automated Deep Operations Coordination System (JADOCS). In FY14, the program office will initiate the execution of the AFATDS Increment 2 requirements. AFATDS provides the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps automated fire support command, control and communications and functions as the land component’s automated Fire Support Command and Control (FSC2) system. AFATDS is used in the Fires Warfighting Function to plan, execute, and deliver lethal and non-lethal effects within the overall Mission Command and Control (MC2) enterprise. Additionally, the system interoperates and integrates with over 80 different battlefield systems, to include Navy and Air Force command and control weapon systems; and the German, French, Turkish, and Italian fire support systems. AFATDS fuses the essential situational awareness (SA) data, intelligence information and targeting data, in near real time, in order to effectively manage target selection and target engagement in accordance with the Maneuver Commanders guidance and priorities. Additionally, the system will pair targets to weapons to provide optimum use of fire support assets and timely execution of fire missions. Also, the system automates the planning, coordinating, and controlling of all fire support assets (field artillery, mortars, close air support, naval gunfire, attack helicopters, offensive electronic warfare, fire support meteorological systems, forward observers, and fire support radars). Furthermore, the system will automatically implement detailed commander’s guidance in the automation of operational planning, movement control, targeting, target value analysis, and fire support planning. Currently, the system interoperates with the other Army mission command systems, and is being used in operations in Afghanistan. The program office is currently fielding non-developmental, rugged common hardware, running the Windows Operating System. The total force will be fielded a Windows based platform by fiscal year 2013. Currently, AFATDS Version 6.8 and 6.8.X are being developed and expect to achieve Full Materiel Releases (FMR) in 2Q FY2013 and 2Q FY2015. With the completion of AFATDS Version 6.8.X, the program office will complete the AFATDS Increment 1 requirements and will start the Increment 2 development in 4Q FY2014. JADOCS is a Joint, Interagency, Intergovernmental and Multinational (JIIM) Targeting, Mission Management, and Common Operational Picture (COP) Windows-based software suite which functions as a complementary system to the Advanced Field Artillery Tactical Data System (AFATDS). JADOCS provides integration and synergy between multiple Command & Control (C2) systems of the uniformed services, and joint and combined elements involved in the targeting process and performs coordination and calculates collateral damage. JADOCS Mission Managers support this coordination amongst Warfighter functional areas to rapidly execute critical missions. JADOCS enables coordination and de-confliction of conventional and asymmetric war-fighting missions. JADOCS is fielded to Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, and Army units involved in the targeting process at Division, Corps and Echelons Above Corps. JADOCS provides the Combatant Commands with the capability to plan and direct theater counter-fire and precision strike operations through the real time synchronization of US and Coalition assets. The application provides the Warfighter with a combination of tools, services and Mission Managers for rapid "system of systems" integration, visualization, coordination and deconfliction of critical mission information. It not only enhances Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) systems in the areas of strike planning but also in SA, joint and combined interoperability and force transition in war.
