Abstract
The Joint Integrated Air and Missile Defense Organization (JIAMDO) is the organization within the Department of Defense (DoD) chartered to plan, coordinate, and oversee joint Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) requirements, joint operational concepts, and operational architectures. As part of the Joint Staff, JIAMDO supports the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in meeting his Title 10 responsibilities as they relate to IAMD issues. JIAMDO is the operational community's proponent for characteristics, requirements, and capabilities in IAMD, and is the joint IAMD proponent within the DoD's resource allocation structures. JIAMDO also leads IAMD mission area and utility analyses, integrates IAMD within the Force Protection joint capability area, and conducts evaluations and demonstrations of joint IAMD architectures and concepts. JIAMDO has established a close partnership with Combatant Commands (CCMDs) and maintains liaison offices at major CCMD locations to facilitate coordination of integration issues and requirements. In particular, JIAMDO maintains close coordination with USSTRATCOM and USNORTHCOM in support of ballistic missile defense of the U.S. JIAMDO provides the CJCS and the Joint Requirements Oversight Council the ability to meet statutory responsibilities to review the cost, schedule, and performance criteria of Missile Defense Agency missile defense programs, and assesses the validity of those criteria in relation to national and military requirements. At the request of USSTRATCOM, and at the direction of the CJCS, JIAMDO supports USSTRATCOM in development of the IAMD Prioritized Capability List, the Global Integrated IAMD Assessment, and analysis of the Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS). JIAMDO supports the USSTRATCOM ballistic missile early warning mission by ensuring operational and technical requirements are integrated into the theater missile warning architecture. JIAMDO also provides direct support to North American Aerospace Defense Command and USNORTHCOM for homeland air and cruise missile surveillance issues.
