10. Joint Fires Initiative
JFI will improve the Joint Force’s capability to manage and prosecute fires by:
Coordinating DoD fires and fire support systems.
Integrating joint fires and fire support capabilities.
Pursuing interoperability of C2ISR.
Supporting joint force, multinational and interagency.
JFI will be accomplished in three phases:
Phase I will increase Joint Time Sensitive Target Management functionalities.
Phase II will create a jointly integrated/interoperable fires and fire support management
Phase III will integrate C2ISR architectures into a singular fires prosecution capability
22-Sep-18
As a prototyping example:
The Joint Fires Initiative (JFI) is solving fires related issues that have arisen out of recent combat operations. Fires Effectiveness, Timeliness, and Fratricide Avoidance are just three of the areas being addressed.
Fratricide avoidance capabilities specifically are addressing blue situational awareness, blue force tracking, combat ID, and blue-on-blue engagement avoidance techniques, tactics and procedures.
These issues are being developed and experimented between JFCOM, PACOM, and the Advanced Field Artillery Tactical Data System.
Internally, we are working closely with Mr. Mike Ballog and his staff in the J8 (JFCOM).

The Joint Prototype path is not a straight procurement and acquisition approach, nor is it a formal test and evaluation program. It is an evolving process that addresses which concepts become prototypes, which prototypes are imbedded into combatant command exercises, and which prototypes become programs of record and institutionalized.
It is highly likely that many of the current prototypes will exist as formal fielded capabilities in some form in the future. It is also likely they will all undergo significant changes as well.
The challenge…is to continue the co-development of these capabilities with the warfighter as well as the services and agencies while synchronizing efforts to transition each of these capabilities.
Prototyping creates or unearths choices. Our challenge is to produce and provide to the warfighter the most useful and important choices.

DCEE
Capacity over the next FY: Our goal is to be able to conduct 10 Workshops, 2 Wargames and one Limited Objective Experiment per Quarter.
Potential over the next FY: With an IOC of 1 Apr 02, and in concert with our current Campaign Plan, we will conduct and/or participate in 42 Small Lab Workshops, 11 Wargames and 5 Limited Objective Experiments. While this exceeds what we believe is our steady state capacity, we will scope some events to meet the concept driven requirements.
How does it link the pathways? The DCEE supports events on both the Concept Development and the Prototyping pathways. While the CD pathway is focused on the far term and the timeframe, some of the observations and insights will also apply to the near term. Near term observations on the Prototyping pathway will similarly apply to the CD pathway. With planning teams, Analysts and Red, White and Blue Cell members working on both pathways we will ensure that these insights are captured and carried into the other pathway.
Cost? The cost to run the DCEE for a year will run $20-25 Million and vary according to contractor manning, hardware and software upgrades, and networking.
Timeline until operational: IOC estimated as 1 Apr 03.
First Venue for its use: Current plan is the PI03 would be the first event for the new facility. However, we have been conducting workshops in the temporary facility since 1 Oct 02.
