Joint Experimentation

Abstract

General Description: The FY 2012 (FY12) JCD&E program of work in addresses key mission areas identified in the 2010 Quadrennial Defense Review and highlighted in the Defense Planning Guidance. Each Joint Capability Area had unique areas of focus: Battlespace Awareness (BA): The FY12 campaign Included capabilities and concepts required to succeed in preventing proliferation and countering weapons of mass destruction. The scope of the work also includes experimentation to identify and evaluate enabling technologies that lengthen detection ranges and strengthen ISR and communications ties between special and general purpose forces. Logistics (LOG): Joint Force Commanders require responsive, agile logistics support to project force, sustain operations and ensure freedom of action wherever the force engages and in whatever form the engagement takes. The FY12 JCD&E program of work in LOG addresses existing and projected mission critical capabilities and conceptual gaps required to project, sustain, and employ the joint force in all operations. The scope of work includes experimentation to identify and evaluate enabling technologies and non-materiel solutions that create mechanisms to facilitate more rapid transfer of critical materiel. Building Partnerships (BP): The FY12 campaign addresses projected mission critical capabilities and concepts required to build security capacity of partner states. The scope of the work includes security and engagement activities per the Capstone Concept for Joint Operations (CCJO) and experimentation to identify and evaluate enabling technologies to enhance US capability to increase the security capacity of partner states. Specific focus areas for FY12 include: -Strengthen and institutionalize General Purpose Force capabilities in conducting security force assistance missions -Increase socio-cultural/ human terrain awareness of the force -Increase information sharing capacity between US and partner states and within partner states -Develop collaborative planning and assessment tools to support of security force operations -Improve effective and efficient methods to provision logistical support to partner states Command and Control (C2): The FY 2012 (FY12) JCD&E program of work in C2 includes projected mission critical capabilities and concepts required to effectively command and control the joint force. Specific focus areas for FY12 include experiments on secure, robust and reliable networks to provide responsive command and control in complex chaotic and degraded information environments to integrate and share information with a full range of partners Force Application (FA): Joint Force Commanders (JFCs) require improved kinetic or non-kinetic capabilities to maneuver and engage adversaries from political, strategic, operational, and tactical perspectives. The FY 2012 JCD&E program of work in FA addresses projected mission critical capabilities and concepts required to deter and defeat aggression in anti-access/area denial (A2/AD) environments. The scope of work includes experimentation to identify and evaluate enabling technologies that focus on electronic warfare, long range strike, and undersea superiority. Net-Centric: Joint Force Commanders require a framework for full human and technical connectivity and interoperability that allows all DOD users and mission partners to understand and act on information with confidence, and protects information from those who should not have it. The FY 2012 JCD&E program of work in the Net-Centric JCA addresses projected mission critical capabilities and concepts required to deter and defeat aggression in anti-access and area denial (A2/AD) environments. The scope includes experimentation to identify and evaluate enabling technologies that focus assuring access to space and use of space-based assets. Protection (PR): The FY 2012 JCD&E Program of Work (PoW) in PR addresses key capabilities and concepts related to force protection in all domains.
