Deliberate and Crisis Action Planning and Execution Segment (DCAPES)

Abstract

Deliberate and Crisis Action Planning and Execution Segments (DCAPES) is being developed as the next-generation AF interface to the Joint Operational Planning and Execution System (JOPES). Development activities may also include Logistics Feasibility Analysis Capability (LOGFAC), Logistics Module/Manpower and Personnel Module-Base (LOGMOD/MANPER B), War and Mobilization Planning (WMP), Enhanced Contingency Rotational AEF Scheduling Tool (ECAST), Web Enablement, and JOPES Modernization Migration. This effort is an evolutionary follow-on to the Contingency Operations Mobility Planning and Execution System (COMPES). DCAPES replaced the operational tasking and priorities functionality of COMPES with modern relational databases, integrated-distributed database, and common and shared data consistent with the Joint vision for integrated Command and Control. DCAPES is intended to provide a command and control capability by exchanging data with a range of planning support systems to provide a more effective force projection capability for a wider range of operational scenarios and will fully support the force provider function of the AF Forces (AFFOR) commander. DCAPES along with numerous other war planning support legacy systems are transitioning into a net-centric Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) environment via a War Planning and Execution System (WPES) management construct. DCAPES provides a real time, two way interchange of personnel, manpower, logistics, and operational data between the Air Force and the warfighting Combatant Commanders. It matches people, cargo, and airframes/weapon systems to the Combatant Commander's warfighting requirements. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development, because it upgrades and develops capabilities for current operational systems.
