Joint Interagency Task Force-South (JIATF-S)

Warfighter Operational Problems

Dan Cabel & Andy Brough

ONR SCOUT Experimentation

• Chief of Naval Research (CNR) Vision: A pathfinder for alternative ways of bringing technologies to problems, operationalizing them, and getting them to scale

• Problem Driven, Warfighter Partnership, Teamwork - Discover & Learn, Deliver Faster Decision Points

• Leverage all of the Naval Research and Development Establishment (NRDE) communities, capabilities, and enterprise tools

• Execute Sprint discovery events on the way to the main experimentation event

– Hack the Machine, Warfighter Driven Challenges, Prize Challenges, ONR sprints

– Approach will include COTS solutions (e.g., data / sensing as a service), alternatives to large exquisite platforms (e.g., the "small, fast, & many"), and different means for reaching a broad & non-traditional performer base

• SCOUT deliverable: Provide deeper value added analysis of discovered Warfighter capabilities of interest – build, highlight, and streamline the plan to fielding; work with leadership, resource sponsor, and acquisition community for transition

SCOUT will inform the Navy Unmanned Task Force

JIATF-S Mission

• Mission Statement: Joint Interagency Task Force (JIATF) South, in conjunction with Partner Nations, leverages all-domain capabilities to target, detect and monitor illicit drug trafficking in the air and maritime domains, within the Joint Operating Area (JOA), facilitating interdiction and apprehension to reduce the flow of drugs and degrade & dismantle Transnational Criminal Organizations (TCOs).

– Strengthening Partnerships

– Countering the Threats

– Building our Team

SCOUT/ JIATF-S

Operational Problems

GOAL: SCOUT Experimentation Campaign will be a series of innovation sprint events, exercises, and experimentation to foment learning and innovation to rapidly develop technologies and techniques to improve warfighting capability and assist in quicker leadership decision making.

OPR: J4

MPA Surface Asset

Utilization

OPR: J3

Hunting Without

MPA OPR: J7

1. Data Synthesis (OPR: J2); Improve the JIATF-South capabilities to manage the data from various sources to increase efficiency and effectiveness of the analysis and utilization of this data to provide targeting information to the watch floor.

2. Hunting Without MPA (Maritime Patrol Aircraft) (OPR: J7);

Improve JIATF-South capabilities to detect and monitor suspect vessels across wider areas and over longer detection intervals.

3. MPA Surface Asset Utilization (OPR: J3); Improve JIATF-South capabilities to efficiently place limited assets for interdiction through decision tools and cross-domain, multilingual tools to improve interactions with partner nations.

4. Rapid, Distributed (Operational) Logistics (OPR: J4); Improve JIATF-South capabilities to efficiently provide tactical flexibility, mobility, a cost effective logistics approach to have increased operational options through effective and efficient use of logistics resources and provide internal support to JIATF-South USCG partners e.g. rapid, distributed (operational) logistics during maritime patrols.

• The SCOUT Experimentation Campaign is divided into two Phases:

• Proposal Content and Format

– Quad Chart

– White Paper: Operational Relevance, Cost, Operational Relevance, Critical

Technical Parameters, Experimentation Plan and Objectives, Dependencies and Special Considerations, Technology and Integration Readiness Levels, Team, Modeling & Simulation

SCOUT/ JIATF-S Process

Phase I: Multi-month exploration that concludes with

SCOUT exercise

Phase II: Award of contracts/OTA –
