Program detail
Mission & acquisition strategy
Provides support to personnel utilizing Target Development, Planning, and Execution applications; Unit Level Intelligence; Tactical Intelligence Applications; shorten the kill chain through automation and direct support to national, combatant command, and Air Force intelligence missions. Funds enhanced dynamic F2T2EA sensor-to-shooter intel and advanced training on cloud-based apps to shorten LRKC with automated and AI-enabled Sensing Grid/targeting tools and applications. Analyzes, visualizes, and shares National, Tactical, and open source Intel to close the capability gap against adversary's truncated kill chains.
The acquisition strategy builds on agile software engineering methodologies and modernization of existing capabilities utilizing evolutionary acquisition. Using section 804, timelines are reduced by modularizing both software engineering solutions and the associated contracting and funding strategies. This enables dynamic resource allocation based on current warfighter needs. The desired end state is continuous delivery of Software. In Summer of FY20, the decision was made to transition from MTA, Sec 804 Rapid Prototyping/Fielding to the new NDAA FY20 - Software Acquisition Pathway, which is the preferred path for acquisition and development of software-intensive systems.

Provides support to personnel utilizing Target Development, Planning, and Execution applications; Unit Level Intelligence; Tactical Intelligence Applications; shorten the kill chain through automation and direct support to national, combatant command, and Air Force intelligence missions. Funds enhanced dynamic F2T2EA sensor-to-shooter intel and advanced training on cloud-based apps to shorten LRKC with automated and AI-enabled Sensing Grid/targeting tools and applications. Analyzes, visualizes, and shares National, Tactical, and open source Intel to close the capability gap against adversary's truncated kill chains. JTIM provides funding for the development of Joint Targeting Toolbox-Capabilities Package (JTT-CP) and WARPATH tools. JTT is the current capability providing the joint targeting community Intermediate Target Development (ITD), Advanced Target Development (ATD), Target List Management (TLM), and Target Folder Development capabilities. It also supports premise installation on coalition networks and Foreign Military Sales (FMS). The JTT program provides the current (legacy) functions until the integrated JTIM capabilities are fielded. Target List Management and Enterprise Workflow were shifted from the JTT program to WARPATH to keep pace with the JTIM Integrated Master Schedule (IMS). Funding for WARPATH comes from the original JTT budget, which is managed at ACC. Full funding will allow both programs to field capabilities in FY25, then in FY26 they will merge into one enterprise program providing capabilities to the Joint Targeting Community. Conducts limited early R&D for tools and workflow, initial cloud and data structure architecture, initial implementation of Sensor-to-shooter concept to accelerate kill chain for at scale dynamic execution, TTP development for targeting in an agile combat environment in the "lead wing concept", and enhanced target mensuration development to improve speed and capacity for target location. Funds dynamic F2T2EA S2S intelligence and advanced training on cloud-based application to shorten LRKC with automated/AI-enabled sensing-grid and targeting/applications. Analyzes, visualizes, and shares national, tactical, and open source intelligence to close the capability gap against adversary's truncated kill-chains.

What project 675309 buys
Provides support to personnel using Geospatial resources utilized in Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) databasing applications, technology exploration and refresh initiatives, geospatial imagery data management and dissemination architecture, geospatial information and services modernization, and enablers for intel and targeting capabilities. Provides support to the MAJCOMs to ensure requisite and available target intelligence and GEOINT tools for information directly available to warfighters. The GEOINT information and service software program funds the Air Force Enhanced Geospatial Product Library (EGPL) which is currently fielded to all combatant command air components and subordinate units supporting global air operations. The EGPL provides digital GEOINT data to support mission planning, targeting & intelligence in support of mission objectives. The Enhanced Geospatial Product Library (EGPL) is world-wide distributed United States Air Force (USAF) repository for geospatial products from the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency (NGA) and other government sources. Its purpose is to provide the Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) information needed by the Air Force (AF) and other DoD command and control systems. EGPL is on premise, continuously updated, NGA Foundational GEOINT data seamlessly accessible via shared drive or browser. Funds enhanced dynamic F2T2EA S2S intel and advanced training on cloud-based apps to shorten LRKC with automated and AI-enabled Sensing Grid/targeting tools and applications. Analyzes, visualizes, and shares National, Tactical, and open source Intel to close the capability gap against adversary's truncated kill chains.
