Single Integrated Air Picture (SIAP)

Abstract

In Fiscal Year 2012 (FY12), no Air Force requirement exists. The Single Integrated Air Picture (SIAP) is a Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) validated collaborative enterprise Special Interest Program. It comprises of multiple engineering and acquisition programs in each of the services and all linked by a joint program executive office. The product of fused data from multiple sensors - a System-of-System (SoS) that provides unambiguous, actionable tracks of all airborne objects in a surveillance volume. All airborne objects of interest must be detected, tracked, and reported. Every object must have one and only one track and set of identified characteristics. Weapon systems from each Service must see and act on the same track data consistently. The Army and Navy, with the help of the other services and MDA, are to harvest any usable components/capabilities from the Integrated Architecture Behavior Model (IABM) to aid in the development of a Joint Track Manager (JTM) for use in their weapon systems. The core set of SIAP SoS requirements are outlined in the SIAP Capabilities Development Document (CDD) generated by the US Joint Forces Command and validated by the JROC in Sep 2007. The SIAP CDD requirements will be achieved through the development and implementation of the SIAP SoS. The Air Force is applying expertise in various program offices to assist with: defining the JTM functionality, the required SIAP architecture, the definition of JTM, and the integration methodology for weapon systems and the airborne network. Project 5232 funds Air Force specific JTM related engineering efforts including Air Force staff that works directly with the Joint SIAP Program Executive Office (JPEO) to help define and develop the functional content of the JTM. The Army and Navy, with the help from the other services and Missile Defense Agency (MDA), will conduct a JTM Demonstration in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 to illustrate the results of their work. This program is in Budget Activity 5, System Development and Demonstration (SDD) because it has passed Milestone B approval and is conducting engineering and manufacturing development tasks aimed at meeting validated requirements prior to full-rate production.
