Joint Urban Fires Prototype – A JI&E Success Story
• Holistic approach to improving Joint Fires Extensive ongoing Joint fires capability gap
research Aggressive operational field
experimentation Collaborative effort with Service and Joint
programs of record Rapid transition of operationally ready
capabilities Concurrent Joint doctrine compliance and
refinement
The Joint Urban Fires Prototype (JUFP) Provides Joint Warfighters with the
ability to apply timely precision fires, from any source, in an urban
environment.
Concepts Under Development (JFCOM Leads)
Cooperative Security Engagement
In partnership with EUCOM Focused on actions the JFC takes in convert
with other elements of national and international power and NGO’s to mobilize and sustain cooperation across a region in
order to create a favorable security environment to U.S. and partner interests.
Joint Urban OperationsHow can a Joint Force Commander operate
in an urban environment to defeat adversaries embedded and diffused within
populated urban areas without causing catastrophic damage to the functioning of
the society there.
Provide comprehensive treatment of the urban system---not merely to attack the
embedded adversary with destructive force, but to treat the entire urban system
comprehensively, applying power to disable hostile elements and enable those elements
that are essential to the system’s functioning.
Maritime Domain AwarenessIn partnership with NORTHCOM
Integrate global maritime intelligence and situational awareness to understand the
global maritime facets that impact the security, safety, economy and environment
of the United States.
Military Support to Stabilization, Security, Transition and
Reconstruction Operations (SSTRO)Focused on effectively combining efforts of U.S. and Coalition militaries with those of U.S. agencies and
multinational partners to provide direct assistance to stabilize the situation and build self-sufficient
multinational capability and capacity.
Strategic CommunicationIn partnership
with STRATCOM & SOCOMHow can a joint force commander non-kinetically
influence the actions or behaviors of targeted audiences in an information rich environment?
Design and conduct joint operations to a strategic communication process based on desired effects
upon the behaviors of various audiences.
Integrating Ops and Intel
(JIOC-X)How do we improve the
integration of intelligence organizations?
Develop processes, tools, and organizational designs
through establishment of theater JIOCS.
