What was Fujitsu showing at CWID, Coalition Warrior Interoperability Demonstration 2008?
openJOP
openJOP is the framework that is delivering the Joint Operations Picture (JOP) on the Defence Information Infrastructure (DII) as part of the Joint Command and Control Support Programme (JC2SP) Interoperability Project (IOP).
The JOP provides commanders with a number of views, or 'pictures', of the Battlespace as a fundamental tool in the generation of Shared Situational Awareness.
openJOP was developed in partnership with the PJHQ JOP Implementation Team (JOPIT) and is readily reconfigurable to meet the needs of a commander or a specific operation. This flexibility reduces complexity and enables the presentation of information to multiple users from a single source.
At CWID 2008, the trial provided a JOP across the UK command structure including UK ISAF. The latter is also the base for our Coalition openJOP (CoJOP) trials in NATO and US CWID that provide a JOP across the NATO Response Force (NRF), Coalition Task Force (CTF) and individual nations e.g New Zealand.
JADOCS
The Joint Automated Deep Operations Coordination System (JADOCS) has been selected as the Joint Task Management Tool (JTMT) of the Joint Command and Control Support Programme (JC2SP) Interoperability Project (IOP).
At CWID 2008, the trial deployed JADOCS across the UK Command Structure, including UK ISAF, to provide integrated task management during scenario execution and to demonstrate this functionality within the context of the DABINETT OV-5.
This trial also demonstrated replication of the Joint Fires Manager (JFM) between COMBRITFOR and UK ISAF through the Boundary Protection Device (BPD), interoperability with JETTS and exploitation of the Cursor-on-Target (COT) protocol using the translation services developed by Qinetiq.
Collaborative Air Battle Management (CABM)
ICC has been selected for the visualisation of ATOs (Air Tasking Orders) and ACOs (Airspace Coordination Orders) by the Joint Command and Control Support Programme (JC2SP) Interoperability Project (IOP).
At CWID 2008, the Collaborative Air Battle Management (CABM) trial deployed ICC across the UK command structure, including UK ISAF, to provide visualisation during scenario execution. In addition, it has deployed NIRIS in UK ACC and UK ISAF to provide ICC with a Link 16 Recognised Air Picture (RAP).
However, CABM is more than just ICC and NIRIS in that it uses the capabilities of openJOP, and specifically JOPWeb and Enterprise Services, to generate an Air Situtation Display data-set or 'picture'.
