Joint Fires Integration & Interoperability (JFIIT)- Joint Fires Capability Assessments
Abstract
Employ scientific methods to research, investigate, test, assess, and evaluate current and emerging Joint fires capabilities. These activities identify shortfalls and root cause, verify recommended solutions, and validate joint capabilities. The resultant empirical outcomes influence Joint Capability development in areas such as Joint Tactics, Techniques and Procedures; integration of service capabilities; and digital interoperability, and can inform acquisition decisions. The emphasis of JFIIT Assessment efforts is the evaluation of Joint fires and combat identification to provide Services and Agencies findings and recommendations based on quantifiable data in order to improve Joint fires. JFIIT collects and analyzes data and provides observations, findings, conclusions, and recommendations to identify Joint doctrine, tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) and material solutions and products that promote capability improvement. Evaluations range from small, single-focus events to large, multi event/ venue exercises. JFIIT conducts assessments in conjunction with Service and Combatant Command (COCOM) exercises, experiments, and test & evaluation events. The emphasis of this JFIIT effort is assessing Joint fires and combat identification capabilities to ensure that Services and Agencies field interdependent and interoperable systems. The primary outputs and efficiencies include: - Improvement in the Services’ ability to employ Joint fires. - Recommendations for system integration and interoperability. - Ability to include Joint context during new system acquisition or development. - Development of Joint fires related Universal Joint Tasks (UJT). - Updates and revisions to Joint fires related doctrine, TTP, and other Joint publications. - Development and refinement of analytical tools (i.e. Data Collection Architecture for Analytical Feedback (DCAAF), Joint Windows-based Warfare Assessment Model (JWinWAM)) - Recommended solutions integrated within the Joint Staff Joint Capabilities Integration Development System (JCIDS) and OSD Joint C2 Capability Portfolio Manager (JC2 CPM) processes - Identification of specific key performance parameters (KPPs) and key system attributes (KSAs) for new systems that meet Joint warfighter operational requirements to ensure Services and Agencies field interdependent and interoperable systems - Increased effectiveness and confidence in combat identification and a reduction in fratricide.
