Mission Planning

Abstract

Mission Planning: The Joint Mission Planning System (JMPS) is the 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 (USN) and United States Air Force (USAF). 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 (T/M/S) naval aircraft are supported by JMPS: F/A-18 A-F, E-2C, EA-6B, AV-8B, S-3, V-22, Chief of Naval Air Training (CNATRA), EA-18G, MV-22, C-2, MH-53E, Aircraft Carrier Intelligence Center (CVIC), SH-60B/F, HH-60H, CH-53D/E, CH-46E, UH-1N and VH-3/VH-60. All of the aforementioned T/M/S are required to transition to Microsoft Windows 7 before Microsoft XP support ends April 2014 by using Framework (FW) Version 1.3.5. Future JMPS platforms include: AH-1Z/W, UH-1Y, MH-60R/S, P-3, KC-130T/J, EP-3E, Broad Area Maritime Surveillance (BAMS), follow-on version of P-8, E-2D, UH-1Y, H-53K, and C-130. The next JMPS architecture version (FW Version 1.4) will support net-centric goals by providing route "publish and subscribe" capabilities. Funding profile reflects required operating system upgrades due to emerging technology and Information Assurance (IA) requirements.
