Joint Friendly Force Tracking (J-FFT) Testbed

Abstract

All Project FE5 funding is being transfer to Project 990 funding in FY 2021. Joint-Friendly Force Tracking (J-FFT) division provides capabilities development, sustainment, and technical support to the Friendly Force Tracking (FFT) and Hostile Force Tagging, Tracking, and Locating (HF TTL) efforts of Combatant Commanders, Services, U.S. Government Agencies, Allies, and Coalition partners to support situational awareness (SA), command and control (C2), interoperability, fratricide prevention, and lethality projection. J-FFT develops solutions at all classification levels to integrate FFT, HF TTL and other Position Location Information (PLI) and C2 data into current and planned architectures, systems, and operational pictures, and support development and deployment of requirements to satisfy rapidly evolving Joint C2 requirements. Major customers: SMDC Force Tracking Mission Management Center (FT MMC); Special Operations Command (SOCOM); Africa Command (AFRICOM); Air Force Rapid Capabilities Office (AF RCO); Joint Staff J6. J-FFT enables the FT MMC to support: 59 device types; 22 data architectures; 518 user groups; over 146K registered devices; over 5M FFT reports/day; over 400 distress messages ("911") alert reports/year. USSTRATCOM, in accordance with CJCSI 3910.01 (reference V.4.) is designated one of three coordinating agencies for J-FFT within DoD. CJCSI 3910.01 directs eight Force Modernization tasks to USSTRATCOM. USSTRATCOM SI 534-5 (reference V.6.) and annually published USSTRATCOM operations orders have designated USASMDC/ARSTRAT as the lead USSTRATCOM component command for Friendly Force Tracking (FFT).
