Mission Planning
Abstract
Joint Mission Planning System (JMPS) is the designated automated mission planning system for the DoN, supporting maritime and expeditionary forces. JMPS-Maritime (JMPS-M) is the designated automated mission planning system for naval aviation, supporting over 40 T/M/S of U.S. Navy and Marine Corps aircraft. 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 core JMPS capabilities are developed and prioritized in an evolutionary approach. An individual JMPS Mission Planning Environment (MPE) is a combination of the JMPS framework, common components, unique planning components (UPCs), federated applications, 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 JMPS Increment 4 release delivers JMPS FW 1.5 and transitions JMPS from Windows 7/32-bit Operating System (OS) to Windows 10/64-bit OS. Transition to 64-bit allows for memory space expansion to accommodate future Microsoft Operating Systems, emerging technologies, and critical cybersecurity updates. Increment 4 development requires software conversion and refactoring to address memory limitations and system errors resulting in JMPS computer crashes. The transition from the current 32-bit architecture to a 64-bit architecture provides additional memory access, increased planning efficiencies; creating an increased stability in the architecture resulting in fewer system crashes and improved cybersecurity. Delaying JMPS 64-bit transition efforts (Increment 4) will allow existing system crashes to persist, and will decrease system stability in the future due to platform capability enhancements that require increased amounts of data and processing power. Next Generation Naval Mission Planning, a new start program in 2018, will provide a new mission planning system, with improved mission management, and post-flight mission analysis capabilities on a modular/services architecture. Next Generation Naval Mission Planning will deliver collaboration and automation capabilities and provide revolutionary improvements in workflow, usability, cybersecurity, portability of mission planning, mission management, and post-flight mission analysis functions across multiple hardware configurations.
