Air Force Information Workflow Automation through Synchronized Air Power Management (SAPM)

Abstract

Utilizing emerging information technologies, the Synchronized Air Power Management (SAPM) initiative presents an automated business process to integrate the Air Force (AF) Command and Control (C2) systems at the Wing level. The SAPM Phase I proof-of- concept effort has demonstrated a significant reduction in the time to plan unit taskings, evaluate missions, and execute decisions. SAPM is a joint venture among ESC/AC, AFC2ISRC/DO, MITRE, Microsoft, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and DSRC. Implementing Extensible Markup Language (XML) messages, web services, and workflow automation, SAPM expands existing web-based capabilities, enables machine-to-machine interfaces, and streamlines the war fighter kill chain process. SAPM Phase I was successfully demonstrated to senior AF officers and representatives of DoD. Phase II is being developed at the MITRE facility in Bedford, Massachusetts.
