Integration Development
Abstract
The Air and Space Operations Center Weapon System (AOC WS), AN/USQ-163 Falconer, the senior element of the Theater Air Control System (TACS), is the weapon system the Commander, Air Force Forces (COMAFFOR) provides the Combined/Joint Force Air Component Commander (C/JFACC) for planning, executing and assessing theater-wide air and space operations. The C/JFACC provides air, space and cyber support to the Combined/Joint Forces Commander (C/JFC) by coordinating, deconflicting and assessing the progress of various weapon systems to advance the C/JFC's campaign. The AOC WS develops operations strategy and planning documents. The weapon system also disseminates tasking orders, executes day-to-day peacetime and combat air, space and cyber operations, and provides rapid reaction to immediate situations by exercising positive control of friendly forces. The AOC Integration Development program keeps the AOC interoperable, certified, supportable, and compliant through the integration, testing and fielding of new capabilities and sustainment upgrades to the AOC WS baseline. The program supports mission requirements at Geographic and Functional AOCs as well as Training and Support and Manpower Augmentation units. To keep the AOC current and interoperable with the COCOMs and fifth generation weapon systems/weapons, the AOC WS program plans to evolve the AOC through the integration and test of progressively improving capabilities. The AOC 10.1 baseline is supported by the AOC WS Weapon System Integrator (WSI), ensuring a system of systems engineering perspective, the completion of other weapon system standardization and modernization activities as defined in AOC WS requirements documents. The AOC 10.2 baseline will use a modernization contractor to ensure system of systems perspective and rigor. This will evolve the AOC WS to a Net-Centric Environment (NCE), to build the "to be" infrastructure, and to conduct other weapon system standardization and modernization activities as defined in AOC WS requirements documents. Activities also include studies and analysis to support both current program planning and execution and future program planning. The program is in Budget Activity 7 - Operation System Development because it provides funding for the modernization of a currently existing and operating system.
