Airborne Reconnaissance Information Technical Architecture (ARITA), Draft Version 1.0
Abstract
The Airborne Reconnaissance Information Technical Architecture (ARITA) in conjunction with the DoD Joint Technical Architecture (JTA) provides the technical foundation for migrating airborne reconnaissance systems towards the objective architecture identified in the DARO Integrated Airborne Reconnaissance Strategy (IARS) and in the various program plan documents published by the DARO. Migrating from today's stove piped systems to the objective airborne reconnaissance architecture by the year 2010 is highly dependent upon achieving the concepts promulgated by C4I for the Warrior, other DoD technical architectures, and Service Agency operational architectures. The ARITA supports four objectives that provide the framework for meeting warfighter requirements: (1) it provides the foundation for the seamless flow of information and interoperability among all airborne reconnaissance systems and associated ground surface systems that produce, use, or exchange information electronically; (2) it establishes a minimum set of standards and technical guidelines for the development and acquisition of new, improved, and demonstration systems to achieve interoperability, with reductions in costs and fielding time; (3) it ensures interoperability with warfighter C4I systems and enables development of new or alternative connectivities and operational plans for specific mission scenarios for airborne reconnaissance systems; and (4) it provides the framework of attaining interoperability with space based and other intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance systems. The ARITA has recently been accepted as the Airborne Reconnaissance Annex to the DoD JTA.
