INFORMATION PAPER

Subject: Automated Coalition Consequence Management (ACCM) Advanced Technology Demonstration (ATD)

1.  Purpose. Provide information on the Automated Coalition Consequence Management Advanced Technology Demonstration (ACCM ATD).

2.  Key Points

·  U.S. Pacific Command (USPACOM) lacks an early, effective, joint and multinational CBRN-related indication, warning, modeling and decision support capability.

-  Collaborating with partner nations is a necessary part of the current and future military landscape.

-  Integrating our capabilities with those of partner nations’, particularly for hazardous missions such as Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Defense (CBRND) and Consequence Management (CM), is part of the critical path to success for both Multinational Forces (MNF) and US forces.

·  USPACOM sponsors the Multinational Planning and Augmentation Team (MPAT) program, a 33-nation military effort composed of partners from Asia and the Pacific regions and several key allies outside the Pacific Command AOR.

-  MPAT is developing Standing Operating Procedures (SOPs) to improve speed of response, interoperability, mission effectiveness, and unity of effort in small-scale contingencies and military operations other than war (MOOTW).

-  Involved in these efforts are improvements in multinational command and control procedures to facilitate efficient, timely and coordinated responses to protect against or combat the use of CBRN and Toxic Industrial Material (TIM) threats.

-  While MPAT is addressing and rapidly closing doctrinal and procedural gaps for CBRND and CM, gaps exist in risk assessment and decision analysis capabilities in a multinational environment.

·  The ACCM ATD applies tools, technologies, and data to improve U.S. CBRND and CM procedures and operations in a multinational environment by:

-  Combining the capabilities of the Joint Operational Effects Federation (JOEF) tool currently in development by DTRA and US Pacific Command’s Asia-Pacific Area Network (APAN) to address capability gaps identified in the 2003 CBRND Baseline Capability Assessment (BCA) to include:

·  Integrated Early Warning

·  Battlespace Management

·  Battlespace Analysis

·  The JOEF Increment I system is currently under development for US forces.

-  JOEF contains modeling and decision support capabilities, which provide the analytical underpinning to CBRN Defense operations including task-level models of military and other operations, as well as human effects models and medical resource estimation capabilities.

-  JOEF increments II and III, which support Consequence Management and Coalition Operations, respectively, will receive little or no funding.

-  The focus of this ATD will be to develop JOEF capabilities that are releasable to partner nations for multinational use.

·  APAN is an unclassified non .mil (non-dot-mil) World Wide Web portal that currently supports the USPACOM Theatre Security Cooperation Program (TSCP), MPAT events, TSCP exercises and Crisis/Contingency Response.

-  APAN is capable of providing tailored JOEF capabilities via a certified network, capable of restricted access to multinational force CBRND and CM planners.

·  Key Players:

-  Operational Manager (OM): U.S. PACOM, J72 MPAT CBRN-TIM Defense

-  Transitional Manager (XM): Joint Project Manager for Information Systems (JPM-IS)

-  Technical Manager (TM): Air Force Research Lab – Wright Patterson (AFRL-WP)

·  The ACCM ATD proposal was submitted to DTRA Joint Science and Technology Office during the Chemical and Biological Defense Program ATD Data Call on 18 August 2006 as a FY07/FY08 candidate ATD. The ACCM ATD will be conducted over a three-year period.

·  The COCOM sponsor, and Operational Manager, for the ACCM ATD will be USPACOM.

-  This ATD has the following Command co-sponsors: USPACOM J73 (Asia-Pacific Area Network) and Joint Experimentation (J83).

-  Coordination is on going for collaboration with the following USPACOM staff sections: Surgeon General / Medical (J07), J3 Operations, J5 Plans and Policy (J56 Theatre Security Cooperation Plans Division and J57 WMD/HLD Division).

-  Collaboration is also being coordinated with U.S. Army Pacific (USARPAC), as JTF-Homeland Defense for Alaska, Hawaii and U.S. territories in the Pacific, and the State of Hawai’i.

·  This Program will ultimately provide early, effective, joint, and multinational CBRN-related indication, warning, modeling and decision support capabilities mitigating the loss of life.
