Joint Surface Warfare (JSuW)
Abstract
The JROC validated the capability need for JSuW in FY 2007. The JSuW JCTD will allow multiple existing Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) assets, launch platforms, and standoff weapons to communicate via maturing weapons data link network technologies. The efficiency is: Joint ISR platforms can provide initial targeting data and in-flight targeting updates to standoff weapons while the launch platform either remains beyond or decreases time inside the threat envelope. As a result of this interaction via the weapons data link network, the Combatant Commander wil have multiple options for joint kill chains to increase operational agility, and have significantly extended space in which surface targets may be successfully prosecuted.
