Information for the Warrior

Abstract

This is a final status and summary of work performed by TASC, Booz-Allen and Hamilton (BAH), Critical Technologies, Inc. (CTI) and Titan Linkabit on the AFRL Information For The Warrior (IFTW) program in support of the Air Mobility Command (AMC). The objective of the IFTW program was to design, develop, and integrate, cost and mission effective information, communications, and networking technology for AMC. The purpose was to provide greatly improved capabilities to AMC for worldwide, near real-time, multimedia information exchange, using both existing and advanced communications/networking technologies and protocols, thereby providing AMC with the capability for airborne situation awareness and global in-transit visibility of all its assets. The IFTW effort focused on those high priority technology innovations that were most responsive to meeting AMC's near term needs. This required a thorough technical analysis of AMC's operational requirements and the formulation of a forward-looking AMC Information Architecture. In the first section of this report, we present IFTW requirements and concepts for continued IFTW development. Section 2.0 contains the IFTW Systems Engineering and Integration Master Plan and Section 3.0 contains the Reachback for the Warrior ATD After-Action Report detailing the significant activities and lessons learned from the Reachback For The Warrior ATD.
