Joint DataLink Information Combat Execution (JDICE) Joint Test

The JDICE JT&E will improve the warfighter's battlespace situational awareness by developing, testing, evaluating and institutionalizing Joint and Service tactics, techniques and procedures. These JTTP's will filter critical mission information to build a Relevant Tactical Picture on Link-16. more

F-22A Instrumentation System Support

Avtech maintains F-22A instrumentation systems as part of the F-22A's continuing operational test and evaluation at Nellis AFB. The systems consist of the Instrumentation Data Acquisition Package (IDAP) and the Air-to-Air Range Instrumentation (AARI) pallet.

Avtech performs complete data system functional tests, cockpit integrity checks between the IDAP and AARI pallet, pre-mission installation and post-mission download of Solid State Recorders (SSR), minor repair of test assets and uploading and downloading of the IDAP.

Development of International Tactical Employment Manuals

In an effort to better equip allies to fight alongside United States armed forces during battle, the Chief of Staff of the Air Force directed that the USAF tactical employment doctrine be released to our allied nations. The primary means to accomplish this tasking is to edit existing USAF tactical doctrine, known as Air Force Tactics, Techniques and Procedures manuals, into a product suitable for foreign release.

The AFTTP tactics manuals are updated every two years and the goal is to provide allied nations with current tactics in phase with the current USAF tactics manuals.

Joint Fires Coordination Measures (JFCM) Joint Test

JFCM will develop and enhance Service, multi-Service, and JTTPs employed at the operational level to plan and implement kill box FSCM. Specific test issues include:

• To what extent do JFCM-developed JTTP command and control (C2) processes to plan and implement kill boxes as FSCMs enable the JFC to integrate fires with maneuver?
• To what extent do current and near-term C2 systems enable the JFC to integrate fires with maneuver, in accordance with the JFCM-developed JTTP C2 processes, when planning and implementing kill boxes in FSCMs? more

DARPA Tech Media Support

Avtech Research Corporation teamed with Schafer Corporation to produce conceptual 3D animation for the DARPA Tech conference in 2004 and 2005. The three-day event brings together more than 2,000 members of the academic, industry, and military communities to learn more about DARPA’s portfolio of innovative technologies and to explore revolutionary ideas for bridging the gap between today’s capabilities and tomorrow’s military challenges.
