  2. Joint Aerial Layer Network (JALN) Initial Capabilities Document (ICD) F-15E MUOS Commercial WGS AEHF Space • We must be able to work • between layers • between networks • between environments Net Enabled ISR RQ-4 High High Alt Gateway Relay Net Enabled Nuclear Response High Capacity Backbone RC-135 E-3 B-52 Aerial E-2 B-52 Link-16 B-1 B-2 F-22 MQ-1/9 Legacy TDLs Voice Net Enabled C2 ISR C-17 KC-135 E-8 Advanced TDLs SADL EC-130 F/A-18 Net Enabled MAF F-15C VMF Mid Alt GatewayRelay Medium F-16 F-35 CAOC DCGS JFACC Op Net Mgt ERMP F-35 Low A-10 Net Enabled Attack / Weapons Net Enabled SOF Terrestrial H-60 ASOC Tact’l Net Ops CRC Tact’l Net Ops ADC II X TOC DCGS JFLCC Op Net Mgt XX Permissive JFMCC Op Net Mgt Contested Anti-access

  3. AFC2IC Strategy Efficiently align near, mid, and far term efforts • Joint Warfighter Integrated NetOps JCTD • Tool Integration • Display Development • Policy & Processes Joint Aerial Layer Network Initial Capabilities Document Supports Capabilities 2012 – 2020 shaped by Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) Joint Concept Focus 2012 2018 2010 2030 Initial analysis lays the foundation for future analyses and studies to achieve an end-state as described within the Joint Concept

  4. Mobile Unified Communications Experiment • Experiment Objectives: • Assess ability to link to current AF unified • communications pilot architecture • Assess selected agile combat support • activities in a deployed environment • leveraging mobile connectivity • Assess commercial mobile technology’s • ability to enhance AF and Army Ops Warfighter Challenge: The Air Force and Army lack an affordable, rapidly deployable mobile cellular network to support respective missions. AFC2IC Approach: Provide live, virtual and constructive environment to assess the technical feasibility and military utility in establishing a tactical cellular network rapidly via Existing affordable commercial technology. Air Force, Army and Coast Guard personnel will conduct operational threads to assess mobile technologies, devices and applications.

  5. Joint Warfighting Integrated NetOps (JWIN) Warfighter Challenge: The JTF requires the ability to C2 tactical edge networks and prioritize resources in accordance with the Commander's intent. AFC2IC Approach: Leverage Joint Tactical Edge Network WG, Service Lab efforts & COTS technologies to demonstrate a capability that provides the JTF & Component CC’s an integrated SA picture of tactical networks. Creates a framework for centralized control (analyze CC’s intent) while allowing decentralized execution and (Service level) network optimization. Transition: Use Joint Aerial Layer Network analysis results to develop Capability Development Document. Create a Tactical Edge Network C2 PoR starting in FY 13.

  6. Joint Aerial Layer Network (JALN) Overview • Three Core Functions: • Distribution/Access/Range Extension (DARE) capability • Transition capability • High capacity backbone capability • Four Capability Gaps: • Connectivity • Capacity • Share Information & Data • Network Management • Initial Capabilities Document (ICD) approved Oct 09 • JALN, when employed, supports net-centric, Command & Control (C2) and Battlespace Awareness requirements for National and Defense senior leaders, COCOMs, and joint forces at all echelons • The JALN will: • Integrate with space and surface layers • Increase communications access for the joint force at all levels • Enable on-the-move (OTM) and over-the-horizon (OTH) / beyond line of sight (BLOS) communications • Provide modular, scalable, and flexible operational capabilities • Provide “mission persistent” connectivity as specified by the commander

  7. JALN Current Status and Way Ahead • Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) currently underway • Led by Office of the Secretary of Defense (Networks and Information Integration) with support from all Services • AFC2IC coordinating AF support • 170+ Air Force personnel engaged in some capacity • Aggressive 9-month effort • Due to be completed 01 Aug 11 • Conducting performance and cost analyses • AoA results will impact OSD Program Objective Memorandum (POM) 13 issue papers • Expect multiple Capability Development Documents to close Initial Capability Document gaps

  8. 5th/4th Generation • Warfighter Challenge: • COCOMs require 5th Gen fighter • data to be shared with assets • across the battlespace including • 4th Gen fighters, Integrated Air and • Missile Defense & C2 nodes. AFC2IC Approach: • Develop an airborne gateway able • to translate & distribute 5th Gen • Information via existing Link-16 architecture. This critical force multiplier allows Commanders to leverage advanced sensors operating at the tactical edge to increase force integration, weapons efficiency and situational awareness. Transition: Analyze/select potential host platforms. Build Capability Description Document based on JALN AoA results. Create a Medium Altitude Tactical Gateway PoR starting in FY13.
