JOINT NAVWAR CENTER (JNWC) SPACE ACTIVITIES
Abstract
Navigation Warfare (Navwar) is deliberate defensive and offensive action to assure positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) information through coordinated employment of space, cyberspace, and electronic warfare (EW) operations. The JNWC develops and maintains the Department's premier collection of NAVWAR knowledge, and provides subject matter expertise support to the warfighters, Department decision makers, the Federal Interagency (the Department of Homeland Security and other civil agencies concerned with Critical National Infrastructure), and the Coalition. Navwar expertise is developed in part by execution of PNT Operational Field Assessments (POFAs), modeling and simulation, analysis, and exercise and training support. JNWC conducted POFAs are a key element in evaluating US and Coalition NAVWAR capabilities and vulnerabilities and adversary capabilities and vulnerabilities, both crucial to executing PNT superiority mission sets in potentially denied / degraded PNT environments. JNWC provides Department wide PNT posture through the PNT annual assessment. JNWC helps develop defensive and offensive PNT capabilities by focusing on two Joint Mission Essential Tasks: 1. Provide Operational Navwar Support – Enable Navwar operations and provide planning subject matter expertise to Combatant Commands, Services, interagency partners and the coalition; Advocate DoD-wide Navwar activities to fully integrate Navwar into military operations and the future force structure. 2. Create and Maintain Navwar Knowledge Operationalize PNT Superiority – Conduct PNT operational field assessments, studies and analyses, analyze and disseminate Navwar R intelligence, and maintain a Navwar armory.
