Problem: Joint Warfighters require an integrated C2 and C4ISR capability both in/out of CONUS/OCONUS harbors to coordinate the supply and re-supply of critical National Defense infrastructure support items. They require a system and associated architecture that provides timely, accurate, synchronized and relevant information to the operators in the harbor littoral areas through the global information grid to perform their missions. Objectives: Provide the ability to coordinate safe harbor activities and shipping movements in support of US and Coalition strategic objectives and missions. Vision: Our vision is to create JUMPS as an adaptable, scalable Littoral and Harbor Operations C2 and C4ISR systemthat will integrate all maritime domain operations and missions. Joint Unified Maritime Protection System(JUMPS) • Technologies: Leverages GOTS, COTS and emerging technologies that amplify and complement each other providing an integrated C2 and C4ISR system built on approved combat systems that are low-risk, cost-effective and user-friendly. The system core technology is IWCC, a Navy program of record combat system. JUMPS, using the QuIPS data fusion engine, integrates data from acoustic, sonar, optical, radar and passive detection devices creating a common operational picture enhanced by decision support and anomaly detection algorithms. • Residuals: Two deployable, scaleable Joint Unified Maritime Protection System suitable for transition to: • OCONUS JUMPS supporting Joint Operations • CONUS JUMPS for training and spiral development • Comments: Components of JUMPS have been successfully deployed in OIF and OEF; during the October 2003 fires in Southern California; and in Exercise Seahawk 2004 with the Canadian Navy & USCG. The Norwegian MOD is seeking participation in the JUMPS ACTD to secure their littoral. • JUMPS provides capabilities by integrating selected emerging technologies in order to: 1-Minimize development time, risks and costs in today’s cost-constrained environment; 2- Promote interoperability among the DoD and HLS forces to prevent fratricide; 3-Share situational awareness; and 4-Provide a common logistics base. • Proposed Participants: • Joint: EUCOM, CENTCOM, SOCOM • Army: CASCOM, CERDEC, CECOM-SEC, NJ • Navy: SPAWAR San Diego, NAVSEA Keyport • Schedule: • Spiral 1 - 6 months: Leverage “Best of Breed” Mature GOTS/COTS to create initial baseline capability • Spiral 2 – 12 months: Integrate Semi-Mature Technologies to refine joint C2 and C4ISR capabilities • Spiral 3 – 6 months: Integrate New and Emerging Technologies and deliver JUMPS system
