Joint Fires Network

Supports the development of a Joint and Combined warfighting network architecture for the Joint Fires Network program that is resilient, interoperable and flexible. This development effort will ensure efficient and secure transport for Joint Fires data across the theater from the strategic to tactical level of operations in a contested disconnected, denied, intermittent and/or with limited bandwidth (DDIL) environment. In FY 2027, the Joint Fires Network (JFN) will deliver and test new software capabilities, multi-level security (MLS) capability enhancements, and infrastructure deployments. JFN will deliver new command and control software capabilities and establish automated connections between JFN and service command and control systems, ISR systems and fires systems to enable collaborative planning and execution monitoring. The JFN system will integrate Generative AI models in special access facilities to enable decision superiority for fires across the joint force. Additionally, FY 2027 will see the delivery of JFN Operations Centers and nodes in both USINDOPACOM and USEUCOM. The Joint Fires Network (JFN) is a multi-domain resilient fires-informing decision network at theater strategic and operational levels that provides a persistent targeting common operating picture and mission command applications at the SAP level to enable top echelon decision makers to optimize allocation of weapons across Services and partners at speed and scale. The OSW-owned, DAF-led JFN Integrated Program Office oversees execution of all JFN funding. JFN PEs consist of: DAF (0305282F) CDAO (0305282D8Z), DISA (0305282K), USN (0605853N), USMC (0305282M), USA (0305282A). This program element includes necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver Joint Fires Network system capability.
