Ballistic Missile Defense Joint Warfighter Support

Abstract

The Joint Warfighter Support Program (JWSP) is the Missile Defense Agency's (MDA's) primary means for providing direct technical support to Combatant Commands (CCMDs), the Military Services and the Joint Staff on Missile Defense System (MDS) development, testing, and operational support, to include Real World testing and validation of the warfighter's operational Common Integration Broadcast (CIB). It enables delivery of MDS capabilities to Warfighters and ensures their participation in the identification and development of new Missile Defense (MD) capabilities via the Warfighter Involvement Process (WIP). The JWSP allows the Warfighter and Missile Defense Agency to work together to identify gaps, seams, and needs in warfighting capability and enhance MDS attributes by submitting modification and fielding requests. It also provides 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year MD operational support to Warfighters worldwide, to include global system verification and validation over the operational Common Integrated Broadcast. The program enables rapid response to Warfighter Requests for Information (RFIs) and Requests for Analyses (RFAs), which are especially critical to mission success in protecting U.S. Forces and other defended assets during Real World threat events. The program supports improving products delivered to Warfighters through technical reviews and technical analyses supporting strategic and regional MD planning, development of shot doctrine and MD design. The JWSP also enables the inclusion of both CCMD and MDA MD objectives in CCMD/Joint Staff-sponsored wargames and exercises, which are used to sharpen and enhance joint Missile Defense (MD) warfighting skills.
