Mission Planning

Abstract

Mission Planning: The Joint Mission Planning System (JMPS) is the CNO's designated automated mission planning system for the Navy. JMPS 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, and conduct post-mission analysis. JMPS is a mission critical system which is a co-development effort between the United States Navy and United States Air Force. Common requirements are identified and capabilities are developed and prioritized in an evolutionary approach. An individual JMPS mission-planning environment is a combination of the JMPS framework, common capabilities, and the necessary system hardware required to satisfy mission planning objectives. Most Tactical Naval Aviation platforms are dependent solely on JMPS to plan precision guided munitions, sensor systems, tactical data links, secure voice communications, and basic Safety of Flight functions. The following type/model/series naval aircraft are supported by JMPS: F/A-18 A-F, E-2C, EA-6B, S-3, MV-22, EA-18G, AV-8B and VH-3/VH-60. Future JMPS platforms include: CH-46E, CH-53, MH-53E, H-60B/F/H, UH-1N, P-3, KC-130T/J, C-2, AH-1W/Z, H-60 R/S, follow-on version of VH3/VH-60, P-8, E-2D, UH-1Y, H-53K, and C-130. As directed via the CNO's Navy Enterprise Architecture and Data Strategy policy, the next JMPS architecture version (Framework V 1.4) will support net-centric goals by providing route "publish and subscribe" capabilities.
