Expand the profiler late analysis graphs to eight categories: Break-bulk (MSC cargo class 10), Break-bulk Ammo (MSC cargo class A0), Container (MSC cargo classes 50, 5V, and 5R), Container Ammo (MSC cargo class 5A), Vehicles (MSC cargo class 30), Non-self deploying aircraft (MSC cargo class 2N), Floating Craft (MSC cargo classes 2F and 3F) and POL (MSC Cargo class 80). This will result in the elimination of the PAX late analysis graphic from the profiler.

1.3.11.3 Add Aircrews as Scheduling Constraint. Track aircrews and constrain by augmented and basic aircrews. Allow the user to define stage location GEO code and regions to which crews would be allowed to fly.

1.3.11.4 Modify DESS for Compatibility with Integrated Global Transportation Network Exercise System. Update JDLM and JFAST to allow interface with the Integrated Global Transportation Network (GTN) Exercise System (IES). JDLM and JFAST must be able to feed the same level of information and data at the current level which is fed to the GTN Exercise System (GES). This development must take advantage of the new technologies being utilized under the IGC capability.

1.3.11.5 Airlift Shortfall Remark Not Matching Shortfall Condition. Make remarks match the condition which drive an actual transportation shortfall. Below are three specific examples of the problem:

1) Airlift remarks state: "Need en route to make STN--SK024". This does not capture the true transportation issue. This 'remark' was received when the APOD was placed in an exclusion area. With the APOD in an exclusion area, JFAST shortfalled all cargo/pax movement to the APOD. This 'remark' should indicate "No Route" or other similar statement.

2) Airlift remarks state: "No CGO/PAX A/C qualified--SK021". The actual transportation issue is the cargo is below minimum ACL.

3) Airlift remarks state: "##mil and #civ air--SK024". The airlift issue is there were no C5/C17 unloading permissions at the APOD. Cargo was shortfalled to the APOD as there were no aircraft to carry it. Airlift remark is misleading.

1.3.11.6 Update and Expand Checklist to Include All Modes. Expand checklist to include standard steps to follow (All) – Make the tool more user friendly for infrequent users – SDDC key exposes partially complete checklist that aids novice or infrequent user in setting up and using origin model, which needs expanding to include airlift and sealift model and post-model run analysis steps.

1.3.11.7 Model ILOCS With Mode Changes. Expand consideration of the effect of planned stops at intermediate locations (ILOC) so that the model will honor an ILOC between an origin and Port of Embarkation (POE), between a POE and Port of Debarkation (POD), and between a POD and destination to include the possibility of a transportation mode change at the ILOC.

1.3.11.8 Expanded Force Module Schedule Summary. Users are often asked to determine how many ships and aircraft it takes to move specific units. The units are usually identified as a force module. The Reports List interface includes a report named Force Module Schedule Summary that shows aircraft and ship types used in the schedule. However, the actual aircraft tail number and ship NISC and name are omitted. Add two new reports that show the ships and aircraft actually used in the schedule to deliver the force module.

1.3.11.9 Model Permissions by Berth. Add permissions (ship types, operators, etc.) by berth capability.

1.3.11.10 Payload Delivery Time Incorrectly Reported as Aircraft Arrival Time – It Should Account for Offload. The delivery time of the cargo is now being reported as the ETA of the aircraft at the offload event. This is too optimistic. It takes some time to discharge the payload from the aircraft before it can be classified as truly delivered. As the original symptom description indicates, the delivery time should be reported as the ETD of the aircraft from the airport at which the offload event occurs.

1.3.11.11 TPFDD Editor Not Carrying TPFDD Record “Non-Baseline” Data. Allow the build and import and import of a B8 data file, and allow JFAST to import the field.

1.3.11.12 Dynamically Adjust Port Processing Capability. Detect port operation enablers being deployed at run time and automatically adjust the airport’s or seaport’s personnel and cargo processing capability accordingly.

1.3.11.13 Modify Force Module Closure Report. The Reports List Force Module Closure Graphs Report includes an Excel option that displays some of the data graphed. Add the destinations(s) of the movement requirements assigned to the force module to the information in the Excel file only. This feature will be particularly helpful in situations where JFAST functionality is being used to support war games. In many cases, a force module will contain only one destination. If a force module has multiple destinations, then list them all. This will allow the user to view them all and to pick the one he wants to report.

1.3.11.14 Some PAX RLN`s Incorrectly Show Shortfall in Ground Model Which Run Log Describes as an Accompanying Pax issue (But No Cargo in Record). Accompany flag in TpDetail is incorrectly set to .T. for the pax portion of split shipments. Set the accompany flag to .T. for req.

1.3.11.15 Add Multi Set of FIC to 0 and TUCHA Bump. JFAST users at the Center for Army Analysis (CAA) often use JFAST for TPFDD development and editing for future force structure studies. As available TUCHA data will normally contain only current or historical force structure data, users are often working with TPFDD data that was created as non-standard units. CAA has recently developed the capability to create future force structure TUCHA data. The users now want those non-standard RLNS to become standard which will reflect the force structure data in the selected TUCHA. This may currently be accomplished by (one RLN at a time) using the UTC editor interface to reset the FIC to zero for the assigned UTC. Add the capability to apply this "TUCHA refresh" edit as a mass edit capability against an entire collection of records or marked records. There is no need to change the UTC assigned, but only to reset the FIC to 0 while at the same time pull the standard passenger and cargo detail from the selected TUCHA reference data.

1.3.11.16 Add Foreign Military Sales (FMS) Modeling Capability. Fusion Center requires capability to model force flow, FMS, and sustainment flow during execution planning. Specifically, planners require analysis of movement requirements from origin to final destination with user identified waypoints throughout the transportation pipeline.

1.3.11.17 Import Ground Assets from IRRIS. Establish an interface with IRRIS for the purpose of user controlled transfer to JFAST select CONUS ground transportation data critical to accurate operational planning and transportation modeling. Interface should allow a “snapshot in time” transfer and translation of assets availability data and other available related information that may affect the modeling of CONUS ground transportation in JFAST.
