Accomplishments & Planned Programs (5)

Cruise Missile Combat Identification (CID)

Establishes joint requirements for emerging national and tactical combat identification technology and advocates for fielding CID technology to frontline weapon systems. Monitors, assesses, and enhances current joint air and cruise missile defense combat ID programs.

Homeland Defense Capability

Develop Homeland Defense Capability.

JRICM Study

Joint Regional Integrated Air and Defense Capability Mix (JRICM) will use analysis of adversary ballistic and cruise missile capabilities to determine if a layered missile defense can successfully degrade or defeat adversary missile attacks to extend base defense duration and maintain aircraft sortie generations rates. Funding will enable the study to proceed with support from the various government organizations and FFRDCs. Organizations will be funded to develop detailed analysis using modeling and simulation to study and evaluate defense capabilities (kinetic and non-kinetic) in the 2030 timeframe.

JIAMDO Nimble Fire

Nimble Fire is the Department’s only IAMD operator-in-the-loop modeling and simulation capability supporting the Chairman's top five critical joint IAMD capabilities: wide-area surveillance and engagement quality tracking, pre-launch interdiction, non-kinetic post-launch capabilities, ballistic missile discrimination, and increased weapons ranges and lethality. Nimble Fire events generally explore joint IAMD capabilities and concepts in the FYDP plus two timeframes. The events combine experienced operators from the tactical communities, virtual simulations accredited by the program offices, current and future advanced capabilities, an integrated air, ballistic and cruise missile threat, and informed scenarios based on the Department’s analytical agenda and CCMD operational plans. JIAMDO brings together stakeholders across the engineering, analytical, and tactical communities to assess Joint interoperability of Service and MDA programs of record, explore concepts of employment, inform tactics, techniques and procedures and concepts of operation, provide insights that help shape CCMD integrated priorities and future operational plans, and inform senior leader acquisition and requirements decisions.

In coordination with Services and CCMDs, JIAMDO Core funds the definition, assessment, development, and approval of Joint IAMD operational concepts, operational architectures, IAMD CPMR and capability requirements. These assessments guide the Department's joint, interagency, integrated and net-centric IAMD. JIAMDO Core provides funding to: 1. Conduct and integrate joint studies, simulations, war games, force resource allocation, and interoperability initiatives. 2. Manage relevant Congressional interaction and CCMD interface. 3. Directly support and sponsor homeland air surveillance-related demonstration and analysis activities. 4. Manage the Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) Working Group, the Operational Forces Standing Committee (OFSC) and co-chair the Protection Functional Capabilities Board focusing CCMD, Joint Staff, and Service collaboration efforts to generate joint concepts and develop the IAMD architecture and roadmap. JIAMDO Core enables strategic planning development, security, travel, and other support activities. Funding pays for: contracted Systems Engineering and Technical Assistance (SETA) support for IAMD CPMR, Air & Cruise Missile Defense (ACMD), Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD), Homeland Air Security (HAS) strategic planning, studies & analysis, combat ID, modeling & simulation. Additionally, the JIAMDO Core budget funds daily on-site security management personnel to meet DoD, National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM), and other security regulations, for all administrative and support functions related to higher security classifications, as well as basic office supplies and furniture, and classified/unclassified data connections.
