AFATDS Increment 1

Abstract

Advanced Field Artillery Tactical Data System (AFATDS) supports the Long Range Precision Fires (LRPF) and Network Cross Functional Teams (CFT). LRPF is the #1 priority and the network is the #4 priority in the Army Modernization Strategy, Efforts support the Common Operating Environment and align to the Network CFT's capability set approach. AFATDS 7 modernizes the existing AFATDS software currently in the field and enhances the existing legacy baseline by: (1) Providing a modernized web service 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. 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), Joint Targeting support to multi-domain operations, 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 FY20. FY23 funding of $15.945 million will be used for continued development and testing of AFATDS 7.0 capabilities, specifically, code conversion from Ada to Java, cyber enhancements, some User Interface improvements, Link 16 implementation and required testing.
