Air and Space Operations Center - Weapon System (AOC-WS)

Abstract

The Air and Space Operations Center Weapon System (AOC WS) program element provides development of Command and Control (C2) capabilities across the entire spectrum of air and space operations from the strategic to the tactical level. In FY 2011, there are three funded projects within the AOC WS program element. Integration Development supports the Air and Space Operations Center Weapon System (AOC WS), AN/USQ-163 Falconer, the senior element of the Theater Air Control System (TACS). AOC WS is the weapon system the Commander, Air Force Forces (COMAFFOR) provides the Combined/Joint Force Air Component Commander (C/JFACC) for planning, executing and assessing theater-wide air and space operations. Applications Development provides worldwide operational capabilities which include core air battle planning, management, execution and personnel recovery for Air Force C2 in support of DoD, Coalition Partners, and other government agencies. Unit Level (UL) supports two primary mission areas: UL Operations software systems provide both the scheduling and mission preparation activities at the wing and squadron level and the capabilities to report and track the success of each mission and influence decisions on future Air Battle Planning to refine future missions. UL Intel capabilities ensure detailed threat, target and imagery information are made available to mission commanders and aircrews planning current flight operations. This program is Budget Activity 7 - Operation System Development because it provides funding for the modernization of a currently existing and operating system.
