Applications Development
Abstract
This budget activity funds operational development necessary to acquire, modify, and sustain segments of Air Force's Command and Control (C2) capabilities and services. Applications Development provides worldwide operational capabilities for AF C2 in support of DoD, Coalition Partners, and other government agencies. These efforts focus on, but are not limited to support of the Combined/Joint Force Air Component Commander (C/JFACC), as presented to the Air and Space Operations Center (AOC) and to other C2 systems. Applications Development activities include but are not limited to the following: 1) Theater Battle Management Core System (TBMCS) Force Level (FL) program which delivers joint air battle planning, management and execution capabilities; 2) Command and Control Air Operations Suite (C2AOS) develops, matures, fields and maintains next-generation net-centric C2 services and capabilities for air battle planning, execution and management functions; 3) Personnel Recovery Command and Control (PR C2) formerly Combat Search and Rescue Command and Control (CSAR C2) which develops and delivers tools and services for planning and managing search and rescue efforts, and disseminating related information; and 4) Command and Control Information Services (C2IS) which creates web-enabled information services to expose air operations data in TBMCS applications and systems using standardized schemas, such as those developed by the Air Operations Community of Interest (AO COI). The AO COI defines and develops air operations vocabulary and data models upon which net centric information services are built. Core activities include but are not limited to: 1) maintaining operational viability of the current Joint System of Record (TBMCS 1.1.3); 2) developing capabilities to support planning and replanning of the Air Battle Plan; generation and dissemination of the Air Tasking Order; air and space defensive planning and execution; targeting; weaponeering; personnel recovery tasks; other applications and services supporting C2 utilized in the joint environment and 3) providing support to and participating in the AO COI to improve air operations information interoperability among all joint and coalition systems within the AO domain; 4) developing and assessing C2 technologies that will improve joint and coalition warfighter interoperability, including participation in annual NATO Coalition Warrior Interoperability Demonstration (CWID) activities, and 5) transitioning existing C2 capabilities to a net-centric environment. Applications Development efforts include evaluation and maturation of future air and space command and control concepts identified through research, risk reduction, prototyping, current operations, exercises and demonstrations. 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 Systems Development because it provides funding for the modernization of currently existing and operating systems.
