Applications Development
Abstract
This project 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 Joint Forces Air Component Commander (JFACC) that provides air, space and cyber support as presented to the AOC and to other C2 systems. Applications Development efforts deliver capabilities identified in the Joint Command and Control (JC2) Capability Development Document (CDD) (2013). Applications Development activities include but are not limited to the following: 1) Command and Control Air Operations Suite-Command and Control Information Services (C2AOS-C2IS) needs identified in the Capability Definition Package (CDP) (2012). C2AOS-C2IS I creates web-enabled information services to expose air operations data using standardized schemas, such as those developed by the Air Operations Community of Interest (AO COI). C2AOS-C2IS I also develops, matures, fields, and maintains modular net-centric C2 applications for air battle planning, execution, and management functions to include Network Enabled Weapons (NEW); C2AOS-C2IS I will focus on but not be limited to, the remainder of CDP and Theater Battle Management Core Systems-Force Level (TBMCS-FL) functionality along with the capabilities to include applications and services to support air mission and Friendly Order of Battle (FrOB) execution, Alerting, Publish and Subscribe, Content Management and Reporting; and integration with a Joint Command and Control (JC2) Reference Architecture (RA) host infrastructure environment. In FY16, core activities for Applications Development include but are not limited to the following: 1) developing capabilities to support planning and replanning of the Air Battle Plan; generation and dissemination of the Air Tasking Order; defense planning and execution; targeting; weaponeering; personnel recovery tasks; other applications and services supporting C2 in the joint environment; 2) providing support to and participating in the Air Operations Community of Interest (AO COI) to improve air operations information interoperability among all joint and coalition systems within the Air Operations (AO) domain; 3) developing and assessing C2 air, space, intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and cyber technologies that will improve joint and coalition warfighter interoperability; 4) transitioning existing C2 capabilities to a net-centric environment; and 5) improving operational level C2 of Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD). Applications Development efforts include evaluation and maturation of future air, space, and cyber C2 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, as well as future program planning. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.
