Joint Force Protection Advanced Security System (JFPASS)
Abstract
The JROC validated the capability need for JFPASS in FY 2008. JFPASS provides a comprehensive, effective, and sustainable Joint force protection capability. JFPASS will demonstrate and transition an integrated joint force protection Command and Control architecture, providing rapid situation awareness, decision support, and more effective force protection with reduced workload through systems integration. The primary outputs and efficiencies: 1) numbers of currently distinct force protection systems that are integrated for common situation awareness; 2) decreased time required to provide situation awareness to all in chain of command with force protection response missions; 3) decrease in operations center manning and workload required to maintain force protection situation awareness and manage situation responses. JFPASS is sponsored by US European Command. The project will conduct an initial demonstration and limited assessment after one year, to be followed by in-theater installations and operational utility assessment in the second year. Army, Navy, and Air Force force protection experts are participating. The US Navy is providing the Technical Manager, US Air Force provides the deputy Technical Manager, and US Army provides the Transition Manager. This project is aligned with the Joint Staff Installation Unit Base Integrated Protection Capabilities Based Assessment process.
