Joint Integrated Persistent Surveillance

Constructive Simulations Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) Live Simulation (EC10)

Each Experiment planned to build on the previous Experiment driving towards increased validity for real-world operations

Experimental Rigor is being applied to the JIPS effort to provide a traceable, logical, and operationally valid path to recommendations

M&S environment based on real world processes, capabilities, and environments

Measures solutions against a baseline representing current persistent surveillance practices

Runs are executed with varied combinations of scenarios, weather, and sensor packages

Human decision-making introduced to further test solutions

Builds on Constructive Simulation results Solutions carried forward Additional solutions which

require human input are tested

Premier ISR event for DoD High visibility capstone event

to demonstrate JIPS solutions JIPS leverages EC10 as a

high fidelity HITL environment

Joint Targeting Proof of Concept

• Developed and validated solutions to deficiencies in joint targeting process

• Cross cutting initiatives to improve training and education, JFC targeting support, and automation

• Joint Targeting Support Center (JTSC) concept

• Leveraged Service, Combat Support Agency, COCOM, Joint Staff experts

• LOE validated value of centralizing select joint targeting functions

• VCJCS implemented following recommendations:• Institutionalization of Cross-Cutting Initiatives (JS/J7)• Organizational CONOPS (JFCOM)• Capabilities Based Assessment on organizational and functional solutions in the

CONOPS (STRATCOM)

Military Problem: Deficiencies in 1) the availability and placement of sufficiently trained targeting personnel; 2) targeting automation systems interoperability; 3) the management of the DoD targeting enterprise; 4) and the management of targeting support prevent the efficient execution of the joint targeting cycle as necessary to meet Joint Force Commander requirements. [Based on CFWG Study]
