(U)Mission Planning

Abstract

The Mission Planning PE is used to develop automated mission planning systems to support Naval Aviation. The Joint Mission Planning System (JMPS) is the designated automated mission planning system for the Navy, supporting over 40 Type/Model/Series (T/M/S) of U.S. Navy and Marine Corps aircraft and expeditionary forces. JMPS-M (Maritime) enables weapon system employment by providing the information, automated tools, and decision aids needed to rapidly plan aircraft, weapon, or sensor missions, load mission data into aircraft and weapons, conduct mission rehearsal, execute missions, and conduct post-mission analysis. JMPS-E (Expeditionary) is a scalable, tailorable, and collaborative web-based mission planning and execution monitoring tool for Amphibious Squadron (PHIBRON) staffs embarked with each Amphibious Ready Group (ARG) and Expeditionary Strike Group (ESG). Electronic Kneeboard (EKB) is a mobile device configured with various software applications and features to support aircrew during pre-flight planning, in-flight re-planning and mission execution, and post-mission debriefing and analysis. Common Munitions BIT/Reprogramming Equipment (CMBRE) provides USN/USMC forces the critical capability to preform built-in test and programming/reprogramming of various weapons. FY20 and out includes funding for the research and the development in order to develop upgrades to the CMBRE system to support advanced operational capabilities, address system obsolescence, meet cyber security requirements, and meet mission readiness requirements. The Stores Planning and Weaponeering Module, also referred to as Weaponeering and Stores Planning (WASP), is an integrated software product that allows aircrew to determine the best combinations of weapons and delivery conditions to achieve the desired level of target damage, eliminate weapon delivery solutions that violate aircraft T/M/S specific safety-of-flight envelopes, and perform detailed weapons employment planning for F/A-18 and E/A-18G aircraft. Common Helicopters is used to develop unique planning capabilities and tools for helicopters (e.g. Weight and Power Calculators (WPC), Common Mission Data Loader (CMDL), Weapon Employment Zone Overlays Tool (WEZOT) and Point Selection Tool (PST)) for integration into JMPS Mission Planning Environments (MPE). Starting in FY19, Common Helicopters RDT&E funding in PU 2312 is being consolidated with JMPS-M Mission Planning funding in PU 2213. JUSTIFICATION FOR BUDGET ACTIVITY: This program is funded under MISSION PLANNING because it includes those projects that have passed Milestone B approval and are conducting engineering and manufacturing development tasks aimed at meeting validated requirements prior to full-rate production decision.

Change Summary Explanation
The FY 2019 funding request was reduced by $0.312 million to account for the availability of prior year execution balances. Technical: N/A Schedule: 2213: Clarified names of Mission Planning Environment (MPE) Integration and Test events and extended framework development period through 4th QTR 2020 to include latest USAF schedules. Changed Increment 4 IOC date to 1st QTR 2020 to align with the program APB. Extended 32-bit MPE integration and test out to 4th QTR 2020 to align with platform needs. 2311: Due to the incorporation of agile software development into the WASP program, the Systems Development and Test and Evaluation periods for each WASP version are concurrent, thus accelerating IOCs of each version by at least one quarter to meet emerging warfighter requirements within available budget. 2312: Common Helicopter efforts are consolidated under PU 2213 Mission Planning FY 2019 and out.
