Abstract: Naval tactical engagement planning processes require a planning infrastructure that supports an efficient, collaborative planning environment to produce tactical plans that meet mission objectives within mission constraints. To accomplish that goal, MTI will apply a user-centered design process to develop an SOA planning infrastructure to provide planners with tools to access accurate and timely data and to establish high-quality plan and mission situational awareness which:  Leverages existing JMPS utilities  Eliminates redundant data entry  Intuitive and consistent UI across handheld devices such as tablet computers and smart phones  Enables simultaneous data enter and access data  Enables immediate plan changes and dissemination
Benefits: The anticipated benefit of this project is the development of a collaborative tactical level aircraft mission planning capability that allows Navy/Marine Corps aircrew to use newer technology hand held devices (e.g. smart phones, tablets, etc.) to connect with the JMPS data base to make planning inputs and updates to existing plans, while eliminating the need to manually enter data multiple times in different locations. The significant benefit is time saved, resulting in an increased tempo of operations and an increased sortie generation rate for Navy/Marine Corps aircrews, a better utilization of the existing JMPS system, and higher quality plans that are generated in a shorter period of time, that are shared electronically with all stakeholders. The commercial application is once the system is developed, tested, and proven for Navy JMPS users, we plan to work on expanding the system to US Air Force JMPS users, and after that to work on providing it to Army Aviation, to replace the antiquated FalconView system they currently use. We also plan to expand it to non-DoD users, including Department of Homeland Security and FEMA for use in disaster relief planning.
