Next Generation Naval Mission Planning System (NGNMPS) Development
Abstract
The Next Generation Naval Mission Planning System (NGNMPS) will address critical capability gaps and deficiencies in the legacy JMPS that are required for modern 21st century integrated mission-centric and collaborative multi-domain mission planning, execution and analysis. NGNMPS will replace Naval Aviation's legacy JMPS no later than FY 2027 while also affordably leveraging prior investments across the systems of systems to deliver integrated and collaborative capability. NGNMPS will affordably address technological obsolescence while also delivering collaborative and automated capabilities in an integrated virtual collaborative data environment. NGNMPS capability provides advanced multiple aircraft planning capabilities focused on emerging, high-threat mission areas. Current mission planning capabilities support individual aircraft and weapon initialization requirements. The emerging, near-peer threat environment demands a much more capable system that enables a team of aircraft to cooperate effectively across multiple mission areas, domains, and security levels. NGNMPS will also leverage service-oriented architecture to provide revolutionary improvements in workflow, usability, cybersecurity, information and decision aids needed to rapidly plan/employ/maximize effectiveness of aircraft/weapon/sensor/payload mission plans; perform advanced pre-mission rehearsal/analysis; provide functionality to load mission data into aircraft and weapons; enable dynamic replanning/retargeting against evolving threats in contested environments; perform integrated and advanced post-mission debrief/analysis; support cross-domain capabilities; and support portability of mission planning, mission execution, and mission analysis functions to meet National Defense Strategy and Interim National Security Strategic Guidance key objectives. The NGNMPS will be integrating rapid prototyped capability developed under multiple S&T efforts (e.g., Future Naval Capability, Rapid Innovation Fund, Small Business Innovative Research) as those projects mature sufficiently to meet critical advanced warfighting needs. NGNMPS is currently utilizing a Middle Tier Acquisition approach, per Section 804 of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2016 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), as amended in FY 2017 NDAA (codified at 10 U.S.C. sub sec 2302 note) to prototype and deliver NGNMPS capabilities to Naval Aviation across multiple platforms. The NGNMPS program of record anticipated to start in FY24
