RF Active Denial System
Field Non-lethal Defense CapabilityField Non-lethal Defense Capability
Capability: Longest range non-lethal weapon available from land, sea, or air
Ground Based Capability
1-5 years
Air and Sea Based Capability
6-10 Years
Transformational Attributes- Robust non-lethal effect- Long range, deep magazine- Large safety margin and invisible beam
5
HPM Electronic Attack
Graduated Effects, Minimal CD, Low Reconstitution CostGraduated Effects, Minimal CD, Low Reconstitution Cost
Capability: Disrupt adversaries critical military and infrastructure electronics and communications equipment
Mid-term Capability 8-12 years
Transformational Attributes- Wide area swath; speed of light delivery minimizes acquisition, pointing, & tracking- Multiple targets per engagement; multiple engagements per mission- Graduated effects from deny to destroy - Little or no collateral damage (non-lethal) against “morally-hardened” targets
6
Capability: Destruction of boosting theater missiles at strategically significant ranges with a high energy laser from a 40,000 foot loitering 747 aircraft

Operation DESERT STORM
- Air Tasking Order (ATO) Manually Generated Process -- Disseminated by AUTODIN
- ISR Collection Management Plan -- Not responsive to dynamic environment
- Coordination Accomplished by Phone
- Shooter Committed by Voice Relay from AOC thru AWACS
Zero Confirmed Kills of Mobile SCUDsZero Confirmed Kills of Mobile SCUDs
12
Operation ALLIED FORCE
- ATO Generation Became Automated -- Senior AOC Director could view ATO and make changes
- ISR Center Supported Combat Operations -- Received ISR feeds; manual ID of TCTs -- Coordination accomplished by phone
- Shooter Committed by SATCOM from AOC via AWACS - EFX 98 Impacts -- Space Support Teams in CAOC -- Joint Targeting Workstation/Tactical Fusion Prototype -- Limited SOF integration – enhanced CSAR of downed F-117/F-16 pilots
TCTs Remained a Considerable ChallengeTCTs Remained a Considerable Challenge
13
Operation ENDURING FREEDOM
- First TST Cell Within AOC Combat Operations -- Spreadsheets used to manage TCTs -- Falcon View used to manually update airspace control & fire support
- Theater Battle Management Core System (TBMCS) First Used -- Enabled ATO generation and dissemination -- Added applications to assist planners and Wing Ops Centers
- ISR Collection Manager Assigned Directly to Combined Forces CC -- Most integrated ISR in modern warfighting history
- Shooter Committed by SATCOM from AOC via AWACS -- Some B-52s and B-1s used Combat Track II – few had capability
Integration Still Limited and CumbersomeIntegration Still Limited and Cumbersome
14
Operation IRAQI FREEDOM
- Significant Capability Improvement in TCT -- Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures Developed --- Used Lessons Learned from OEF, JEFX, INTERNAL LOOK, etc
- Collaboration Significantly Improved -- TBMCS Became Web-enabled -- Global Command Control System, Info Workspace, Chat, C2PC -- Data Links and SATCOM improved C2/Cockpit Communication
- Non-traditional ISR Used -- Targeting Pods on F-15s, F-16s, A-10s, and B-52 -- Provided High-Resolution Ground Target Video
Continuous Improvements…Integration Work RemainsContinuous Improvements…Integration Work Remains
15
Work to be Done- JEFX 04 – Implement Lessons Learned
-- Coalition and Service integration top priority – CSAF -- Included 3,000 Joint and Coalition members -- Demonstrated C2 Constellation and Constellation Net Vision- JEFX 06 – Focus Areas -- Continuous Air Planning and Execution -- ConstellationNet -- ISR Fusion -- Homeland Security/Defense- TBMCS -- All five AOCs to be upgraded - Jan 06 through Sep 06- AOC Weapon System Upgrades -- FY06-08 --- Airspace management, improved coalition interoperability -- FY08-09 --- Reduced manning, improved target mensuration and recognition -- FY10-11 --- Deployable AOC, fused CoP, automated target recognition

“We are going to figure out how to have conversationsbetween airborne platforms, unmanned, on the ground, in the air. We’ll build a constellation that marries up the manned and the unmanned. Create that network in the sky that will pass the information around.” General John Jumper, CSAF
“Proficiency in the integration of air and space power is going to be the hallmark for future AF leaders. It is crucialthat they have a well-developed aerospace picture to betterintegrate AF capabilities into the joint arena.”Lt Gen David Deptula, Commander, Kenney WFHQ
