Multi-Service Systems Engineering
Abstract
The near term objectives of the PE are two fold. The first is to use cross-service System Engineering (SE) expertise to develop, test and field Joint Integrated Air and Missile Defense (JIAMD) capabilities. This effort will define the incremental capability improvements toward the objective architecture and provide technical recommendations to Department of Defense (DoD) leadership on specific changes to developmental and fielded air and missile defense weapon and sensor systems necessary to achieve the war fighter desired JIAMD capability. A concerted attempt will be made to ensure minimal disruption to on-going Programs of Record (PoRs) while developing these recommendations and capability enhancements. The second objective is the development of Joint Track Management Capability. Joint Track Management Capability The Services, under JPEO oversight, developed a consolidated plan for Joint Track Management Capability (JTMC) for FYs 2010 and 2011. This plan will lay the foundation for the incremental fielding of JTMC to the war fighter. The intent is to define the SE process necessary to achieve JTMC and incorporate those efforts into the top-level JTMC schedule with associated deliverables. By working collaboratively with the Service PoRs, the effort will serve as a risk reduction activity on the path to fielding an initial capability in FY 2014. The SIAP/JTM Capability Development Document (CDD) which is being revised and updated in FY2010, will provide the key performance parameters (KPPs) by which success will be measured. The initial engineering efforts will focus on the bridging of Army IAMD Integrated Fire Control Network and the Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC) Net onboard Navy platforms. The Missile Defense Agency, Air Force and Marine Corps are exploring how they will actively participate in the requirement maturation process and system engineering efforts associated with the JTMC development. JTMC Demonstration To evaluate and assess progress toward achieving the JTMC, a demonstration will be conducted in FY 2011. The objectives of the demonstration are to demonstrate the ability to exchange and process Associated Measurement Reports (AMRs) across dissimilar bridged networks, specifically Army IFCN and Navy CEC. Additional data that is expected to be examined include: - Characterize the ability to create composite tracks from AMRs derived from multiple-service sensors - Characterize data registration capability - Characterize track state commonality and consistency The purpose of the bridging demonstration is not to assess performance, but to characterize bridge interface and functionality required as part of a JTMC proof of concept. There are a number of key milestones on the path to success. Some of these include the Milestone B for Army IAMD (16 December 2010) and subsequent contract award, the updated SIAP/JTM CDD in July 2010, prototype bridge development late in FY 2010, and architecture product delivery in June of 2011. During this period the Services will be going through their individual program review cycle of Critical Design Reviews (CDRs), System Readiness Reviews (SRRs) and System Design Reviews (SDRs) as well as developing test plans and conducting work-ups in preparation for the demonstration. The tasks associated with this effort have been divided into five categories. These categories are: - Requirements - Architecture - System Design - Demo Planning and Execution - Integration and Coordination Specific tasks are defined under each of the categories and the associated deliverables are tied to that tasking. Examples of the deliverables include publishing JTMC requirements, development of CONOPs, delivery of architectural views, a system engineering plan, and a demonstration report and presentation. This program is categorized as Budget Activity 6 because it involves system engineering and demonstrations.

- Change Summary Explanation
- In FY 2011, this is a new PE. In FY 2010, PE 0605452F Joint Single Integrated Air Picture (SIAP) Program Executive Office come to a close. This new PE (0606323F) includes follow-on efforts under the Joint Integrated Air and Missile Defense (JIAMD) initiative. FY 2011 efforts in this PE include Multi-Service Systems Engineering (MSSE), Joint Track Manager Capability (JTMC) demonstrations, and Joint Operational requirements definition.
