Joint Fires Integration & Interoperability (JFIIT) Capabilities Development
Abstract
The emphasis of the JFIIT Capabilities Development effort is continued development of Joint Fires and combat identification capabilities. JFIIT focuses on current and emergent Joint Fires capabilities such as tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP), Systems, and System of Systems. JFIIT is working with the Combat Training Centers to enhance Joint training for evolving joint fires issues identified during the rotational units pre-deployment exercises as the basis to develop tactical level recommendations to address the operational gaps and seams. To support Service and Component Command (COCOM) capability development efforts, JFIIT develops Doctrine, Organization, Training, Material, Leadership, Personnel, Facilities (DOTMLPF) Change Recommendations; improvements in coordinating fires, command and control, and firing systems interoperability resulting in increased effectiveness and efficiency; and provides technical expertise in identifying Joint solutions to capability gaps. The primary outputs and efficiencies include: - Recommendations for Counter-Rocket, Mortar, and Artillery (C-RAM) response functions - Validated Doctrine, Organization, Training, Material, Leadership, Personnel, Facilities (DOTMLPF) Joint fires recommendations - Improvements in Joint Terminal Attack Controller (JTAC) and Joint Fires Observer equipment and tactics, techniques and procedures (TTP) - Appraisals of service venues joint context and ability to support joint training - Resolution of Combat Identification and Joint Close Air Support Action Plan issues - Publication of Tactical Leader’s Joint Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance (ISR) Handbook - Accreditation/certification for Joint fires context and training capability of all service venues - Recommendations for tactical Joint fires improvement solutions - Recommendations for system integration and interoperability - Optimum utilization of currently fielded systems as evidenced through feedback from deployed forces - Ability to include Joint context during new system acquisition or development - New system capability that meets current Joint operational requirements - Proposed tactics, techniques and procedures (TTP) and doctrine - Increased effectiveness and confidence in combat identification as evidenced through feedback from deployed forces - Reduced collateral damage and decreased number of fratricide incidents across the force - Jointly trained forces
