Adv Field Artillery Tactical Data System
Abstract
The Advanced Field Artillery Tactical Data System (AFATDS) provides the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps automated fire support command, control and communications. AFATDS is used to plan, execute, and deliver lethal and non-lethal effects. AFATDS provides Joint/Coalition Situational Awareness for fires execution and mission management. The system interoperates and integrates with over 80 different battlefield systems, including Navy and Air Force command and control weapon systems; and the German, French, Turkish, and Italian fire support systems. AFATDS automates the planning, coordination, and control 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). AFATDS provides eleven core services that manage user input and handle dissemination of complex fires processes. These core services are: Attack/Engagement Analysis, Fire Support Planning, Mission Guidance, Target Definition, Mission Area Definition, Cross-System Graphics/Mapping management, Unit Task Organization Data, Fires Conflict Detection, Mobile Air/Ground Tracking, Mission Execution and Mission Trigger Events. These AFATDS services promote situational awareness of 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. Joint Automated Deep Operations Coordination System (JADOCS) is a Joint and Coalition targeting, coordination, and de-confliction mission management software application. It links Command and Control (C2), Intelligence, and Air operations information with execution systems using real time collaborative targeting managers, customized for each service or specific functional area. JADOCS is used to significantly enhance the Joint Force and Component Command's capability to simultaneously develop, coordinate and execute dynamic and Time Sensitive Targets as well as planned targets and fire missions. JADOCS provides coordination and de-confliction of targeting information at all levels of command structure for the military as well as enabling common system information exchange to coordinate, collaborate, and de-conflict missions. The JADOCS' system–to–system interface enables automated communications with Joint and Coalition systems to minimize targeting process time and increase dynamic targeting accuracy. JADOCS coordination managers provide operators and commanders with a clear definition of the targeting cycle's workflow process steps, responsibilities and status. JADOCS is used by Air, Ground, Maritime, and Special Operations forces supporting time sensitive and dynamic targeting, battle space coordination, search and rescue, and disaster relief / recover operations worldwide. It provides horizontal (across Services) as well as vertical (within Services) coordination of missions to ensure a common picture of targeting operational status across the entire Joint force. Mission Summary windows display the coordination and targeting status of each mission using intuitive color coded indicators referred to as coordination status. As a software application, JADOCS can be configured and customized for each user and location. The client and server software can be installed on typical Windows OS.
