Projects: Future Force Warrior Phase 2

Client: General Dynamics Robotics Systems

Title: Future Force Warrior Phase Two

Summary: The Objective Force Warrior Program was redesignated Future Force Warrior in February 2004. From June 2003 until April 2005 JHNA served as industry representatives on a user and operational effectiveness team fro the government working hand-in-hand with OET. The team created several products including small combat unit operational concepts, requirements, and architecture that mapped to the Unit of Action's twenty four integrated processes (IPs). Detailed work was done on the following integrated IPs: battle command, sensor and sensor fusion, netted effects, situational awareness common operating picture (SA-COP), sustainability, robotic operations, soldier system interface, interoperability, information management, cooperative engagement, and training. The resulting work was entered into the ARMS database. Additional work was done on, and deliverables were provided for, an orchestrated system engineering soldier borne system variant weight analysis and a detailed distributive capabilities analysis. The detailed distributed capabilities analysis mapped the eleven functional areas to a small combat unit to determine how program distributed capabilities among small combat units. JHNA also led the Exercise, Experimentation and Demonstration IPT where two major interactions with the user community we conducted.

Deliverables: JHNA delivered concepts and architectures for the 2014 OFW-equipped small combat unit. Concepts covered the 12 most relevant of the 24 Integrated Processes identified in the FCS Program. JHNA produced C4ISR Architecture framework products OV-1, OV-2, OV-3, OV-4, OV-5 and OV-6cs. JHNA also supported the government's writing of the Ground Soldier System CDD.
