MPS Increment 5
Abstract
MPS Increment 5 will complete the initial migration of Air Force platforms from their legacy planning systems to the new Mission Planning System (aka the Joint Mission Planning Systems (JMPS)). It will complete development of three efforts originally started as separate and individual projects within the MPS Modernization development effort. Those projects are: 1) Mobility Air Forces Automated Flight Planning Service (MAFPS); 2) Air Mobility Command (AMC) Transition; and 3) Special Mission Air Combat Command, Combat Search and Rescue (SMACC CSAR) These projects, and their associated platforms, are now included in the overarching MPS Major Automated Information Systems (MAIS) program as MPS Increment 5 to provide improved transparency and oversight. As such, MPS Increment 5 is not a new start but a continuation of efforts previously started under the development umbrella of the MPS Modernization project. FY17 funding will continue software development activities for the three efforts (MAFPS, AMC Transition, and SMACC CSAR) that are being transferred from the MPS Modernization project beginning in FY17. Specific capabilities include but are not limited to the following: A.Mobility Air Forces Automated Flight Planning Service (MAFPS): The MAFPS component to MPS Increment 5 provides modern flight planning service compliant with current and emerging airspace and air traffic control constraints. Central to the program is an improved route and fuel optimizer. MAFPS replaces the legacy Advanced Computer Flight Planning (ACFP) system. Warfighter benefits include: - Flight planning calculations for Tanker Airlift Control Center (TACC)-managed missions and AMC aircraft - Generate, validate, and file valid ATS flight plans and meet all CNS/ATM and RVSM standards - Produce and graphically display optimum mission routes, fuel calculations, and aerial refueling activity - Calculate optimized fuel loads to include Cost Indexing - Graphical user interface and capability to dynamically re-compute flight plans B.AMC Transition: The AMC Transition to MPS component will migrate selected Airlift (C-5), Tanker (KC-135, KC-10) and Air Drop (C-17, C-130) platforms from their legacy PFPS mission planning systems which is sun setting in August 2018. Additional warfighter benefits include: - Color moving map (Digimap) Common Component - Enhanced Air Refueling Common Component - Aircraft FPM/TOLD/VIP Development - CNS/ATM certified navigation avionics images C.Special Missions Air Combat Command (SMACC) Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR): This development effort will migrate the CSAR community (HH-60, HC/MC-130 aircraft) from PFPS to the MPS environment. Warfighter benefits include: - Ability to support a spectrum of missions ranging from simple day-to-day training and proficiency flying to peacetime operational/exercise sorties - Rapid mission planning - Mission data transfer to the aircraft via DTD - In flight situational awareness
