JSS Development Strategy USAF TDL SPO “The JSS program shall adhere to the spiral development process. Quick and efficient implementation of the selected approach is key to successful execution of each increment within the goal of 18 months or less. ” -- JSS ORD FY 04 FY 05 FY 06 FY 07 FY 08 FY 09 + Program Start S/W Drop Notional Schedule S/W Drop 4

Development Strategy USAF TDL SPO • Phased Approach – Navy and Air Force are funding Phase I • Phase I is outlined in a Memorandum of Agreement • Phase I goals are to field priority capabilities • Phase II will bring in full participation of Army and Marine Corps 5

Schedule USAF TDL SPO • JSS will be an evolutionary acquisition program designed to extract, improve upon, and condense required capabilities (forwarding, translation and data management with a distinct presence) from existing technology • IOC will be achieved when the following conditions are met: – One JSS set supporting an ashore OPFAC and one set supporting an afloat OPFAC in accordance with the Operations Concept – Remote Joint Data Repository is operational and maintainer/administrator is available – JSS training course has been established, to include operator and maintenance training – Initial Joint Interface Control Cell team per service has been trained – All program documentation, including acquisition, operator and maintenance documentation, is baselined, formally controlled, and approved – Maintenance support is established – All key performance parameters have been met 6

Schedule USAF TDL SPO • Initial Operational Capability is currently planned for fiscal year (FY) 2006 (Objective), FY 2007 (Threshold) • Full Operational Capability (FOC) shall be achieved when the following conditions are met: – All four Joint Forces Command specified FEC sets are delivered in addition to meeting IOC criteria – JSS is also available at JICC-D (2) and JMTS (2) – JSS is installed in at least one (1) OPFAC per Service – Remote JDR will support both configurations simultaneously at IOC locations – JSS training site (expected to be FORSCOM) has access to the remote JDR for training purposes • FOC is currently planned for FY 2008 (O); FY 2009 (T) 7

JSS Configurations USAF TDL SPO • The Operational Requirements Document describes the JSS as 2 “adaptive capability packages” – Common Core Capability “in which the operational facility’s (OPFAC) communications systems are used to the maximum extent possible” and “will include only that hardware, software, and communications interfaces necessary to meet the requirements” in the ORD – Full Expeditionary Capability • “a deployable, self-contained” system • “The JSS (CCC) in a ruggedized, transportable configuration with all associated communications equipment required to support JICO operations (data and voice). JSS (FEC) is ideal for a combatant command or Service requiring a rapidly deployable JICO capability able to set up and operate in immature or austere environments. ” 9

Short History of JICO Systems in US USAF TDL SPO • Navy Common Data Link Management System (CDLMS) • Joint Interface Control Cell – Deployable (JICC-D) • Interim JICO Support System (I-JSS) 10

Navy CDLMS USAF TDL SPO • Integration of Link-11 data terminal set, C 2 P computer program (C 2 P rehost), and operator controls (HMI) in a consolidated cabinet • Link monitoring was limited to Link 11 • Upgrade path was envisioned for Link 16, but never pursued • Only available on Navy “Model 5” ships 11

JICC-D USAF TDL SPO • US Forces Command initiative to provide a link monitoring and situational awareness tool for JICOs • No development, integration only • Systems (evolutionary build): – – – Air Defense Systems Integrator (APC) i. MTDS (MITRE) Joint Range Extension Gateway (Titan) LMS-16 [later upgraded to LMS-MT] (Northrop Grumman) Communications equipment (JTIDS Class 2, USQ-125, voice) 13

Interim JICO Support System USAF TDL SPO • An Air Force initiative to procure a non-developmental Link-16 monitoring system for Air Force operational forces. • Electronic Systems Center (Hanscom AFB) contracted for 15 systems from Northrop Grumman Information Technologies in 2002 – All systems have been delivered and fielded – Navy collaborated with Air Force for 3 systems used as components of a carrier-based prototype (Link Monitoring Capability) • I-JSS is an independent project from JSS development – Considered a prototype capability used for evaluating and investigating link monitoring requirements 14

Lessons from prototypes for JSS USAF TDL SPO • JICO requires multi-link integrated tool suite • Tools for network planning are quite limited, and this is the JICO’s most desired tool • JICO’s role is expanding (e. g. , track management, gateway manager) which are not adequately captured in the requirement • Concept of operations and employment for JSS is urgently needed to address how the system will be used and operated in joint and multi-national task forces • Remote management of devices (gateways, hosts, terminals) is desired, but no clear direction exists • JTRS equipment will greatly elevate JSS required 16 capability
