Applications Development

Abstract

This project funds software development capacity necessary to deliver Air Force's (AF) Command and Control (C2) capabilities and services. Applications Development is executed under the Air Operations Center (AOC) Block 20 Modification effort. Applications Development provides worldwide operational capabilities for AF C2 in support of DoD, Coalition Partners, and other government agencies. These efforts focus on support of the Joint Forces Air Component Commander (JFACC) that provides air, space and cyber support as presented to the AOC and to other AF and Joint Services C2 systems. Applications Development efforts deliver capabilities identified in the Joint Command and Control (JC2) Capability Development Document (CDD) (2013). In FY 2021, C2 Applications Development will focus on providing software capabilities for the combat plans and operations divisions to build, disseminate and execute the Master Air Attack Plan (MAAP). C2 Applications Development also provides an Airspace Management tool used for building airspaces, evaluating requests and instantaneously generating the Airspace Control Order (ACO). These efforts deliver modern software for inclusion to the AOC Weapon System Modifications to replace the Master Air Attack Plan-Toolkit (MAAPTK) and components of Theater Battle Management Core System - Force Level (TBMCS FL). Additionally in FY 2021, this effort will investigate and develop a solution to address joint partner and non-AOC usage of C2 Applications in TBMCS FL use cases. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver Applications Development weapon system capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605831F. 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.
