ADMIN

• Coffee/Chow
• Bldg/Area Info
• Sign-in roster
• Intros

4
Purpose

• Inform COI of JCAS ESC initiatives/direction
• Inform COI of current APP APPs
• Provide forum for integration/discussion
  throughout MAGTF
• HQMC AVN, PPO, MCCDC, MARCORSYCOM, TECOM,
  MARFORs, MEFs, DIVs, WINGs, MAGs, MAGTFTC, MCTOG,
  TTECG, EWTGs, MAWTS, ETC.
• Solicit inputs from the fleet
• Make decisions, develop action items for way
  ahead

JCAS ESC Action Plan

• JTAC
• Stan/Maint/Prod/Eval
• US and Partner Nations
• Integrated training
• Joint
• Full spectrum (TAC(A), FAC(A), AO, FAC, JTAC,
  JFO, (SFO), C2, FSCC, FST, Arty, Mortars, NGF)
• Equipment utilization
• Simulation
• L-V-C
• Distributed
• Integrated

6
JCAS ESC Action Plan

• UAS
• Sensor/Observer/Comm/Wpns Delivery Platform
• JTTPs and interoperability required
• Integrated training required
• Interoperable JCAS Systems
• AO/FACs/JTACs/JFOs/Airborne platforms/C2
• TACP(M), TLDHS, BAO kit, JETS, LINK-16, VMF
• StrikeLink, StrikeLink/A
• Size/Weight/Reliability of system/equipment with
  integrated GLTD/CAS info/modem/video/imagery/messa
  ging/precision targeting
• FAC(A) push for integration/utilization/Joint
  trng/ed.
• CAS Specific Weapons
• Low CD
• Moving Target Engagement

7
JCAS ESCOngoing Issues

• JCAS Mission Area Concepts
• Network Ready systems that meet NR KPP w GIG
  reach back capability
• Digital sharing of target location (and multiple
  other pieces of information)
• A/C, Sensor, Weapon aimpoint
• TD,SPI,WPN AIMPT
• Gateways (USAF) for information sharing of
  non-compatible digital and data-link platforms
• Innovative JCAS TTPs for employment in urban
  terrain, adverse weather, day/night, with
  GPS-degradation, as well as non-contiguous
  battlespace ops.
• Field assessment of JTAC digital systems
• Field assessment of Simulators
• Exploitation of UAS as JCAS sensor/CAS platform
  supporting JTACS and FAC(A)s

8
JCAS ESCOngoing Issues

• Precision Targeting
• First attempt hits not guaranteed
• Not always reliable enough to prevent fratricide
• Sensor to Shooter process not fully mature
• Delay/error/failure/direct entry
• Aircraft and weapons systems technologies
  outpacing targeting capabilities of JTAC/JFO
• Way Ahead
• DT/SPI/WPN AIMPT
• 2 way exchange of digital imagery
• BFSA
• C/NC TID
• Enhanced target acquisition and precision
  coordinate generation

9
JCAS ESCOngoing Issues

• JCAS lessons learned
• OIF/OEF
• Impact Doctrine and TTPs
• Must be mindful of MCO (CC)
• Way ahead
• JFIIT monitoring/tracking LLs for ESC
• JFO
• Joint and Partner Nation signatories
• Program development
• Same issues as JTACS
• Stan/Maint/Prod/Eval
• Way Ahead
• MOA/DOTMLPF
• TAGS
• Review and revision (across much broader spectrum
  than just JCAS)

10
