Joint Automated Deep Operations Coordination System (JADOCS)
Abstract
The Joint Automated Deep Operations Coordination System (JADOCS) is the Department's "go to war" system for targeting and fire support coordination. It is the first DAE pilot program the Department is sponsoring under this innovative process that will maintain the development of a capability coming out of a successful Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration (ACTD), but is not yet ready for a Service program of record. The outcome anticipated in JADOCS is a fully functioning, C4ISR capability that is seamlessly joint, integrating approximately 20 different Service and Agency systems into one common operational picture for the Combatant Commander (CoCOM). The Joint Automated Deep Operations Coordination System (JADOCS) is a successful product of a series of previous ACTDs, most notably the Theater Precision Strike Operations (TPSO) and Counter-Multiple Rocket Launcher (C-MRL) ACTDs. JADOCS has evolved into a joint warfighter system application with over 2,000 workstations and 3,000 users worldwide. It is presently embedded in the architecture at USCENTCOM, USPACOM, USFK, and USEUCOM, but has not been formally designated a program of record. JADOCS provides a critical warfighting capability for the CoComs, including use in OIF and OEF as a residual leave behind capability from the ACTD. This system was previously employed in U.S. Tsunami relief humanitarian efforts and recently began to support USNORTHCOM for C2 automation of Defense Support to Civil Authorities. JADOCS is the system used for Time Sensitive Targeting coordination within the USCENTCOM AOR. The JADOCS capability includes software, tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP), and field support. JADOCS is managed by PEO C3Ts, PM Battle Command Fire Support Command and Control Program Office. The initial Automated Deep Operations Coordination System (ADOCS) system was renamed as the Joint Automated Deep Operations Coordination System (JADOCS) in FY 2005. In October 2005, the Army accepted joint responsibility to begin transition of JADOCS functionality into PM Battle Command Fire Support Command and Control and is being modernized and integrated into the Department's Enterprise C2 System/POR (currently envisioned to be GCCS-J). Until the transition is complete in 2009, JADOCS will continue to meet the critical requirements of the CoCom by providing enhanced automation support to command centers and component headquarters for horizontal and vertical interoperability of C4ISR systems in the areas of Strike Planning, Situational Awareness, Joint and Combined Interoperability, Joint Targeting, Force Transition in War, and Defense Support to Civil Authorities. The funds identified in the DAE Pilot program in FY 2007 through FY 2010 will enable modernization of the JADOCS architecture to ensure compatibility with the Army Battle Command System and the Department's Enterprise C2 System/POR (currently envisioned to be GCCS-J); continuing the JADOCS business model of responding to evolving urgent warfighter requirements with operational capabilities, and ensuring JADOCS remains a joint versus Service specific capability. In FY 2007 developed and fielded new operational capabilities in response to a USCENTCOM Urgent Needs Statement; Increased capability will address asymmetric threats faster. Provided prototype set of the Department's Enterprise C2 System/POR (currently envisioned to be GCCS-J); provided second generation CDE capability.
