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) (Proj 2213) 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 staffs embarked with each Amphibious Ready Group and Expeditionary Strike Group. 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. The legacy Common Munitions BIT Reprogramming Equipment (CMBRE) and follow-on Standardized Tester of Reprogrammable Munitions (STORM) (Proj 2213) provides USN/USMC forces the critical capability to perform built-in test and programming/reprogramming of various weapons. FY 2021 and out includes funding for the research and the development of the STORM system to support advanced operational capabilities, address system obsolescence, meet cyber security requirements, and meet mission readiness requirements. The Next Generation Naval Mission Planning System (NGNMPS) (Proj 2213) will address critical capability gaps and deficiencies in the legacy JMPS that are required for modern 21st century integrated mission-centric and collaborative multi-domain mission planning, execution and analysis. NGNMPS will replace Naval Aviation's legacy JMPS no later than 2027 while also affordably leveraging prior investments across the legacy systems to deliver integrated and collaborative capabilities. NGNMPS will affordably address technological obsolescence while also delivering collaborative and automated capabilities in an integrated virtual collaborative data environment. NGNMPS will also incorporate service-oriented architecture to provide revolutionary improvements in workflow, usability, cybersecurity, information and decision aids needed to rapidly plan/employ/maximize effectiveness of aircraft/weapon/sensor/payload mission plans; perform advanced pre-mission rehearsal/analysis; provide functionality to load mission data into aircraft and weapons; enable dynamic replanning/retargeting against evolving threats in contested environments; perform integrated and advanced post-mission debrief/analysis; support cross-domain capabilities; and support portability of mission planning, mission execution, and mission analysis functions to meet National Defense Strategy key objectives. The Stores Planning and Weaponeering Module, also referred to as Weaponeering and Stores Planning (WASP) (Proj 2311), 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. FY21 and out include funding for the research and development in order to integrate WASP with 3-D mission rehearsal, provide dynamic Safe Escape Automation Layer (SEAL) calculations on Electronic Kneeboard (EKB) SEAL, develop WASP for other Navy and Marine Corps platforms, and support WASP development and integration with Next Generation Mission Planning Systems (NGNMPS). JUSTIFICATION FOR BUDGET ACTIVITY: This program is funded under SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT & DEMONSTRATION (SDD) 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
TECHNICAL: N/A SCHEDULE: Proj 2213: -Moved JMPS-E V4.0 development to FY2022 to align with the Next Generation Naval Mission Planning (NGNMPS) schedule. -Added JMPS-E 3.0 Virtualization and Architecture Development to JMPS Primary Software Development schedule which updates the required Common Components, Federated Applications, COTS and GOTS JMPS-E software products to an updated framework and cyber security posture to affordably comply with evolving cyber mandates. -Renamed Next Generation CMBRE Development efforts to STORM Development. -Added STORM system test beginning in 4Q FY2022. -Changed STORM Prototype to a milestone event in 3Q FY2023. -Added NGNMPS and STORM Knowledge Points. Proj 2311: -Moved WASP 5.0 start to 2Q FY2020; End date shifted to 2Q FY2022 to align future WASP development efforts with affordable transition to NGNMPS. -Moved WASP 5.1 start to 3Q FY2021; End date shifted to 3Q FY2023 to align future WASP development efforts with affordable transition to NGNMPS. -Removed WASP 5.2 & 5.3 efforts and created WASP NGNMPS with a Development and Testing starting date of 4Q FY2022. End date for Development is Q2 FY2024 while Testing is through the FYDP.
