Air Force Information Workflow Automation through Synchronized Air Power Management (SAPM)

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA466055 | Open PDF

Abstract:

Utilizing emerging information technologies, the Synchronized Air Power Management SAPM initiative presents an automated business process to integrate the Air Force AF Command and Control C2 systems at the Wing level. The SAPM Phase I proof-of- concept effort has demonstrated a significant reduction in the time to plan unit taskings, evaluate missions, and execute decisions. SAPM is a joint venture among ESCAC, AFC2ISRCDO, MITRE, Microsoft, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and DSRC. Implementing Extensible Markup Language XML messages, web services, and workflow automation, SAPM expands existing web-based capabilities, enables machine-to-machine interfaces, and streamlines the war fighter kill chain process. SAPM Phase I was successfully demonstrated to senior AF officers and representatives of DoD. Phase II is being developed at the MITRE facility in Bedford, Massachusetts.
