Description
Mission — Stores Planning and Weaponeering Module
The Weaponeering and Stores Planning (WASP) components are integrated software products that allow aircrew to determine the best combinations of weapons and delivery conditions to achieve the desired level of target damage, eliminate weapon delivery solutions that violate aircraft Type/Model/Series (T/M/S) specific safety-of-flight envelopes, and perform detailed weapons employment planning. The WASP software is approved by NAVAIR Airworthiness and Cybersafe Office (formerly AIR 4.0P) as a flight clearance implementation system for the F/A-18 A, A+, A++, B, C, C+, D, D (RC), E, F, EA-18G. The WASP software includes potential support for other platforms to include F-35, P-8, AH-1, and other fixed wing and rotary wing platforms. The WASP software components will alert pilots if their planned weapon release conditions meet flight clearance limits, will result in bomb-to-bomb collisions, bomb-to-aircraft collisions, aircraft overstress, or excessive risk of aircraft loss/damage in the event of fuze early bursts. Weapon employment planning is fundamental to the Joint Capability Area of Force Application and joint mission areas of Strike and Amphibious Warfare. The WASP software provides the Navy and Marine Corps with weaponeering capabilities that are critical requirements for Interdiction, Armed Reconnaissance and Close Air Support mission planning. Therefore, WASP product availability is critical to successful employment of the Joint Mission Planning System (JMPS) for the F/A-18 A-F and EA-18G. The WASP product encompasses a multitude of Government Furnished Information software components and tools including aircraft target maneuver simulations and weapon flyout models. The WASP software products will require updates as emergent requirements for new aircraft T/M/S, stores and weapons are approved, new flight clearances/restrictions are issued by Naval Air Systems Command and cyber security mandates are released. FY 2024 and out includes funding for the research and development in order to develop WASP for other Navy and Marine Corps platforms, and support WASP development and integration with the Collaborative Mission Planning Continuum (CMPC).
Mission — Mission Planning
The Mission Planning PE is used to develop automated mission planning systems to support Naval Aviation. The Joint Mission Planning System (JMPS) (Proj 2213) is the designated automated mission planning system for Naval Aviation, supporting over 40 Type/Model/Series (T/M/S) of U.S. Navy and Marine Corps aircraft, expeditionary forces as well as Joint and Coalition forces. The Joint Mission Planning System - Maritime (JMPS-M) enables weapon system employment by providing the information, automated tools, and decision aids needed to rapidly plan aircraft, weapon, or sensor missions, load mission data into aircraft and weapons, conduct mission rehearsal, execute missions, and conduct post-mission analysis. The Joint Mission Planning System -Expeditionary (JMPS-E) is a scalable, tailorable, and collaborative web-based mission planning and execution monitoring tool for Amphibious Squadron staffs embarked with each Amphibious Ready Group and Expeditionary Strike Group. Electronic Kneeboard (EKB) is a mobile computing device configured with various software applications and features to support aircrew during pre-flight planning, in-flight re-planning and mission execution, and post-mission debriefing and analysis. Preflight mission planning, data loading, rehearsals, mission execution and post mission analyses are conducted at all appropriate security classification levels. The JMPS program is sun-setting in FY 2027 with a hybrid transition to CMPC. The Standardized Tester of Reprogrammable Munitions (STORM) system (Proj 2213) replaces the legacy Common Munitions Built-in-Test (BIT)/Reprogramming Equipment (CMBRE) and provides USN/USMC forces the critical capability to perform built-in test and programming/reprogramming of various advanced weapons. The STORM system supports advanced operational capabilities, addresses legacy CMBRE system obsolescence, enhances cybersecurity posture to improve readiness, and improves sortie generation rate. The STORM program is not experiencing cost growth, the funding increase in FY 2026 accounts for the transition from Section 804 Middle Tier of Acquisition to STORM program of record. Additional budget provides funding for Munitions Application Program (MAP) and STORM Software development and integration activities and non-recurring engineering activities The Collaborative Mission Planning Continuum (CMPC) formerly called Next Generation Naval Mission Planning System (NGNMPS), will address critical capability gaps and deficiencies in the legacy JMPS that are required for modern 21st century integrated mission-centric and collaborative multi-domain mission planning, execution and analysis. The CMPC will replace Naval Aviation's legacy JMPS no later than FY 2027 while also affordably leveraging prior investments across the systems of systems to deliver integrated and collaborative capability. The CMPC will affordably address technological obsolescence while also delivering collaborative and automated capabilities in an integrated virtual collaborative data environment. The CMPC capability provides advanced multiple aircraft planning capabilities focused on emerging, high-threat mission areas. Current mission planning capabilities support individual aircraft and weapon initialization requirements. The emerging, near-peer threat environment demands a much more capable system that enables a team of aircraft to cooperate effectively across multiple mission areas, domains, and security levels. The CMPC will also leverage service-oriented architecture to provide revolutionary improvements in workflow, usability, cybersecurity. Additionally CMPC will provide information and decision aids needed to rapidly plan/employ/maximize effectiveness of aircraft/weapon/sensor/payload mission plans. This functionality includes advanced pre-mission rehearsal/analysis, loading mission data into aircraft and weapons, dynamic replanning/retargeting against evolving threats in contested environments, and advanced post-mission debrief/ analysis. The CMPC will incorporate cross-domain solution capabilities. These mission planning, mission execution, and mission analysis functions meet the National Defense Strategy and Interim National Security Strategic Guidance key objectives. The CMPC will conduct preflight mission planning, data loading, rehearsals, mission execution and post mission analyses at all appropriate security classification levels. The Stores Planning and Weaponeering Module, also referred to as Weaponeering and Stores Planning (WASP) (Proj 2311), is an integrated software product that allows aircrew to determine the best combinations of weapons and delivery conditions to achieve the desired level of target damage. The WASP program performs detailed weapons employment planning for F/A-18 and E/A-18G aircraft. The WASP program provides inherent safety checks which eliminate weapon delivery solutions that violate aircraft T/M/S specific safety-of-flight envelopes. FY 2024 and out includes funding for the research and development in order to develop WASP for other Navy and Marine Corps platforms, and support WASP development and integration with CMPC.

Life-cycle management efforts consist of development of program execution plans, development/integration of components provided by various developers into mission planning environments and testing of the integrated environment.
Joint Mission Planning System Expeditionary (JMPS-E)
JMPS Expeditionary (JMPS-E): JMPS-E provides a scalable, tailorable, mission planning and execution monitoring tool for Amphibious Squadron staffs. The primary focus of this system is to provide an automated capability to assist planners with mission analysis, course of action development and automated creation of doctrinal orders based on planning data in the system. JMPS-E provides a digital map enabling better response times to changing plans, easier distribution of planning artifacts and a reduction in human error during the planning process. The variety and geographically separated nature of forces involved with Ship to Objective Maneuver (STOM) amplifies the need for web-based technologies to enable collaborative planning, improve overall situational awareness and enable the monitoring of mission execution from different locations. The primary outputs are tasking orders, route plans, battlespace geometries and decision briefs. The system will also incorporate modeling and simulation tools to rehearse and deconflict mission plans.
Collaborative Mission Planning Continuum (CMPC) Development
The Collaborative Mission Planning Continuum (CMPC) program will address critical capability gaps and deficiencies in the legacy JMPS that are required for modern 21st century integrated mission-centric and collaborative multi-domain mission planning, execution and analysis. CMPC will replace Naval Aviation's legacy JMPS no later than FY 2027 while also affordably leveraging prior investments across the systems of systems to deliver integrated and collaborative capability. CMPC will affordably address technological obsolescence while also delivering collaborative and automated capabilities in an integrated virtual collaborative data environment. CMPC capability provides advanced multiple aircraft planning capabilities focused on emerging, high-threat mission areas. Current mission planning capabilities support individual aircraft and weapon initialization requirements. The emerging, near-peer threat environment demands a much more capable system that enables a team of aircraft to cooperate effectively across multiple mission areas, domains, and security levels. CMPC will also leverage service-oriented architecture to provide revolutionary improvements in workflow, usability, cybersecurity, information and decision aids needed to rapidly plan/employ/maximize effectiveness of aircraft/weapon/sensor/payload mission plans; perform advanced pre-mission rehearsal/analysis; provide functionality to load mission data into aircraft and weapons; enable dynamic replanning/retargeting against evolving threats in contested environments; perform integrated and advanced post-mission debrief/analysis; support cross-domain capabilities; and support portability of mission planning, mission execution, and mission analysis functions to meet National Defense Strategy and Interim National Security Strategic Guidance key objectives. The CMPC will be integrating rapid prototyped capability developed under multiple Science & Technology (S&T) efforts (e.g., Future Naval Capability, Rapid Innovation Fund, Small Business Innovative Research) as those projects mature sufficiently to meet critical advanced warfighting needs. CMPC will complete Middle Tier of Acquisition approach, per Section 804 of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2016 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), as amended in FY 2017 NDAA (codified at 10 U.S.C. sub sec 2302 note) to prototype and deliver CMPC capabilities to Naval Aviation across multiple platforms. The CMPC program of record starts in FY 2024.
Standardized Tester of Reprogrammable Munitions (STORM) (previously titled: Next Generation Common Munitions BIT Reprogramming Equipment (CMBRE)
The technology inherent to the legacy CMBRE is obsolete and cannot be sustained beyond FY 2025. In addition to sustainability issues and cyber security concerns, the Fleet also requires a more transportable, lighter weight and rugged test set that has the ability to service existing and future weapons with increased data transfer capability in austere operating environments. Formerly named "CMBRE Next Generation" the Standardized Tester of Reprogrammable Munitions (STORM) efforts enhance mission readiness and security, and generate improved flexibility, depth, and capacity for existing and emerging aviation weapon capabilities during the conduct of ship, shore, and ship-to-shore operations in both conventional and Distributed Aviation Operations environments. STORM will satisfy current and future fleet weapon support requirements, CONOPS, and cyber security mandates while affordably addressing legacy CMBRE system obsolescence. Prior to FY 2025, STORM is being pursued through a Middle Tier of Acquisition approach, per Section 804 of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2016 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), as amended in FY 2017 NDAA (codified at 10 U.S.C. sub sec 2302 note) to prototype and deliver STORM capability to USN/USMC forces. The STORM Program of Record plans to use DoDI 5000.82 major capability acquisition pathway. The STORM program anticipates entering the acquisition process by 1QFY 2025.
