Joint Fires Integration & Interoperability
Abstract
The Joint Fires Integration & Interoperability Team (JFIIT) funded by this program is a compact cell of unique Joint fires experts adding value to much larger Service investments in force elements delivering kinetic and non kinetic effects supporting ground operations. Services, Joint, and Combatant Commanders and their Staffs proactively seek JFIIT advice and assistance to improve the execution of combat fires applied in complex coalition and joint environments. Prior to Fiscal Year 2007, funding to support the JFIIT Program originated in the Navy's Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) Program Element 0603857N. Subsequent realignment brought the JFIIT Program into oversight by Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research & Engineering (ASD R&E) and converted the program element into a Defense-wide account. Joint Requirements Oversight Council Memorandum (JROCM) 183-4, dated 8 Oct 2004, directed United States Joint Forces Command (USJFCOM) to establish a Joint Fires Support Organization. JROCM 241-05, dated 3 November 2005, validated the JFIIT mission. USJFCOM Directive Number 5170.2 dated 30 November 2007, Charter for JFIIT, assigns JFIIT responsibility to improve Joint fires planning, training and execution as a critical capability for deployed joint warfighters. The JFIIT mission is to improve the integration, interoperability, and operational effectiveness of Joint fires. JFIIT takes a holistic approach to improving Joint fires by providing solutions that produce effective target acquisition, command and control, and interoperable firing systems, thereby reducing fratricide and collateral damage. This results in not only near-term tactical identification of issues and solutions, but also informs and provides a foundation for short and long-term operational and tactical capabilities.
