Joint Automated Deep Operation Coordination System (JADOCS)
Abstract
The Fire Support Command & Control (FSC2) funding line supports the Long Range Precision Fires (LRPF) Cross Functional Team (CFT), the #1 priority in the Army Modernization Strategy and the Common Operating Environment (COE). Efforts are aligned to support the Network-CFT capability set approach. FSC2 supports the development of Advanced Field Artillery Tactical Data System (AFATDS), LRPF CFT, Extended Range Canon Artillery (ERCA), Extended Range Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (ER-GMLRS), Precision Strike Missile System (PRSM) initiatives. In order to support these initiatives, AFATDS will serve as the key sensor to shooter link for the Army and USMC providing fully automated support for planning, coordinating, controlling and executing fires and effects. AFATDS also began supporting Long Range Hypersonic Weapons (LRHW) in FY 2020. Fire Support Command and Control (FSC2) systems automate the planning and execution of fire support operations so that a suitable weapon or group of weapons adequately cover targets. Fire support is the effect of lethal and non-lethal weapons (fires) that directly support land, maritime, amphibious and special operation forces to engage enemy forces, combat formations, and facilities in pursuit of tactical and operational objectives. FSC2 family consists of Advanced Field Artillery Tactical Data System (AFATDS), Joint Automated Deep Operations Coordination System (JADOCS), and Precision Fires Dismounted and Mounted (PF-D/M), formerly known as Pocket-sized Forward Entry Device (PFED). 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 weapons systems. As a member of the Artillery System Cooperation Agreement (ASCA), AFATDS is interoperable with coalition partner 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 7.0 modernizes the existing AFATDS software currently in the field. AFATDS 7.0 enhances the existing AFATDS baseline by: (1) Providing a modernized web service based backend that will simplify long-term maintenance of the software, (2) Bringing AFATDS into full compliance with the Army's COE, Command Post Computing Environment (CPCE) initiative, and (3) Enhancing overall usability of the system through the implementation of a role-based capability architecture with embedded training that allows the AFATDS operator to receive on-the-spot training for any aspect of AFATDS via interactive instruction. Precision Fires Dismounted and Mounted (PF-D/M), is a software application that operates on the Nett Warrior End User Device (EUD). It will provide the dismounted Forward Observer (FO) and Fire Support Teams (FISTs) the capability and functionality to accurately and rapidly locate ground targets and digitally process a Call for Fire. PF-D answers the Mobile Handheld Computing Environment requirement that all handheld applications reside on the Nett Warrior EUD. PF-M answers the mounted computing environment requirement and will reside on Mounted Family of Computer Systems (MFoCS) computers.
