AFATDS Increment 1

Abstract

The Advanced Field Artillery Tactical Data System (AFATDS) funding line supports the Army Modernization Strategy Common Operating Environment. Efforts are aligned to support the Network-Cross Functional Team (CFT) capability set approach to achieve the network modernization strategy. AFATDS 7.0 modernizes the existing AFATDS software currently in the field. AFATDS 7.0 enhances the existing AFATDS baseline by: (1) Providing a modernized web service based backend that will simplify long-term maintenance of the software, (2) Bringing AFATDS into full compliance with the Army's Common Operating Environment (COE) Command Post Computing Environment (CPCE) initiative and (3) Enhancing overall usability of the system through the implementation of a role-based capability architecture with embedded training that allows the AFATDS operator to receive on-the-spot training for any aspect of AFATDS via interactive instruction. FY 2021 funding of $41.371 million will be used to facilitate development and continue to focus on the AFATDS v7.0 effort to include building fire support, fire control and fire direction role-based capabilities, integrating available CPCE common components, and updating the user interface for the Software. AFATDS supports Long Range Precision Fires (LRPF) CFT, Extended Range Canon Artillery (ERCA), Extended Range Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (ER-GMLRS), Precision Strike Missile System (PRSM) and emerging sensor to shooter initiatives. To support these initiatives, AFATDS will serve as the key sensor to shooter link for the Army and US Marine Corps providing fully automated support for planning, coordinating, controlling and executing fires and effects. AFATDS began supporting Long Range Hypersonic Weapons in FY 2020.
