Joint Integration & Interoperability

Abstract

The Joint Integration & Interoperability (JI&I) Program Element underwrites the Department’s core joint Command and Control (C2) efforts for military needs development and validation, for development of associated Doctrine, Organization, Training, Material, Leadership, Personnel, Facilities (DOTMLPF), and for operational assessment of materiel solutions proposed and delivered by the Defense acquisition enterprise. Funds from the JI&I Program are used to address joint capabilities including, but not limited to operational through tactical level joint integration of the following capabilities: Common Operational and Tactical Pictures; Combat Identification; Situational Awareness; Adaptive Mission Planning and Rehearsal; Interoperability among Service/ Agency intelligence systems; Interoperable Joint Fires, Maneuver, and Intelligence; and Integrated Joint Battle Management Command and Control. Activities funded by the JI&I Program aim to: -- Identify, and/or develop mission capable solutions for COCOM interoperability and integration capability shortfalls with emphasis on non-materiel elements; -- Assess operational suitability and sufficiency of materiel solutions identified by the Defense acquisition enterprise in response to validated joint C2 needs; -- Provide Combatant Commanders with interoperable combat identification and situational awareness capabilities among United States Interagencies, and Allied and Coalition Forces in support of Overseas Contingency Operations; -- Develop joint requirements supporting C2-intensive joint missions such as Joint Close Air Support and Joint Fires; -- Develop joint integrated architectures that guide service capability mapping to achieve joint interoperability; -- Establish fundamental joint data standards and cross domain solutions to facilitate future system interoperability and integration; and, -- Undertake other activities to resolve emergent operational and tactical needs associated with joint C2.
