Integrated Tactical Mission Systems (ITMS)
Abstract
The ITMS program increases operational crew performance and aircraft survivability by integrating the MC-130J green aircraft and multiple SOF mission systems as an interoperable system-of-systems. Automated software capabilities will be developed, integrated, and tested with SOF-peculiar and green aircraft flight information, displays, and controls through the Special Mission Systems (SMS) suite. By increasing system-of-systems data interoperability through an Open Mission Systems (OMS) compliant Modular Open System Architecture (MOSA), an agile software development infrastructure will be employed to integrate multiple subsystems and continuously deliver automated software capabilities. Capabilities include, but are not limited to; automated route replanning, tactical flight management, integrated aircraft defensive systems, defensive countermeasures, and embedded training. The NextGen Special Mission Processor (SMP) resolves current diminishing manufacturing sources issues with a MOSA compliant design to perform central processing for ITMS software. ITMS enables dynamic operations with integrated real-time information, automation, and decision making data for safe TF/TA flight and mission execution (MC-130J aircraft) and seamless employment of the PSP (AC-130J aircraft).
