Joint Warfighting
Abstract
The Joint Warfighting Program (JWP) supports the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, ASD(A)) responsibilities for acquisition and portfolio management analysis. These efforts include independent analyses, studies, limited scope experiments, wargaming, and partnerships with joint customers that define joint capability gaps and develop credible requirements for follow-on acquisition efforts. It synchronizes acquisition processes with corresponding acquisition requirements. These analyses and assessments deliver independent perspectives on ways to align investments and potential solutions for capability gaps created by future warfighting environments and emerging threats. JWP enables portfolio management though these assessments in order to promote potential acquisition remedies to these critical capability gaps. JWP supports efforts to: synchronize the acquisition processes with corresponding acquisition requirements to enable acquisition portfolio management; conduct mission thread analysis; define joint capability gaps and develop credible requirements for follow-on acquisition efforts; deliver independent perspectives on ways to align investments and potential solutions for capability gaps created by evolving threats; seize opportunities to partner with joint customers on projects that inform technology and acquisition decisions; and implement analytic projects on key joint warfighting mission areas and challenges. JWP projects will support identifying acquisition implication and remedies for critical warfighting challenge. These projects include a F-35 sustainment wargame to define the future state F-35 sustainment strategy that will enable DoD to realize readiness and sustainment goals; a Cyber wargame on cyber resiliency; analysis of the long term acquisition and sustainment implications of proliferated low-earth orbit constellations; evaluation of the feasibility and cost effectiveness of recent attempts to create open architecture for space systems; analysis/study of MUOS Cyber Study/Narrow-Band SATCOM and MUOS Enterprise Cyber to leverage the best of breed, best practices Cyber strategies and risk management approaches for prevention and detection of cyber threat activity; development of practical approaches to for game-changing software development and sustainment approaches that will catalyze greater mission impact to the warfighter while controlling cost and improving resilience; providing technical support to Software Provenance and Supply Chain Risk Management planning to mitigate risks of cybersecurity threats in DoD security systems and critical infrastructure from IT produces produced by adversaries; providing engineering /technical assistance for designated agile pilot programs, develop policy, procedures and best practices to facilitate DoD adoption of Agile Pilot Software Piloting methodology. Anticipated Impact: Provides analytical support for acquisition efforts for ASD(A) staff elements and joint customers. It promotes analyses and assessments for acquisition insights and decisions focused on capability development serving the needs of joint forces and the warfighter.
