Development APPENDIX A. ADVANCED FIELD ARTILLERY TACTICAL DATA SYSTEM AFATDS allows the MCFSS stations to transition to a single software system that will eventually replace existing systems. AFATDS is one of five systems that compose the Army Tactical Command and Control System (ATCCS). AFATDS, the only jointly developed system, provides fire support planning and execution software. With further software development, currently fielded devices will be compatible with AFATDS via variable message format protocol. When AFATDS fielding is complete, all IFSAS and tactical fire devices will be replaced. All artillery technical fire direction for cannon and rocket systems will be computed by AFATDS. AFATDS software is developed as a fire support tool. The computer is provided with detailed guidance derived from the staff planning process and the D3A targeting methodology. This guidance provides AFATDS with “rules” to use during processing of fire support missions. Through this process, the commander and staff determine the appropriate responses during the period of staff planning. These decisions are executed rapidly by AFATDS during intense activity that characterizes modern maneuver warfighting. Failure to provide adequate preplanned guidance will prevent the system from executing according to commander’s intent. Guidance Management Incoming fire missions and fire plan targets are validated by guidance entered at each fire support and fire direction echelon. For rapid and efficient attack of targets and fire plan scheduling, this guidance data must be managed. The following guidance windows must be maintained to manage the fire support system: ● Target selection standards. ● HVT list. ● Target management matrix. ● Mission prioritization. ● System tasks. ● Fire support attack parameters. ● Munitions restrictions. The responsibility for creating and disseminating guidance is an intrinsic element of command and thus resides with the force commander. Before establishing the landing force ashore, the MAGTF FFC receives guidance from the amphibious force commander. This guidance is transmitted to the supporting arms coordination center, subordinate FSCCs, and fire support assets controlled by the MAGTF FFCC. After establishing the landing force ashore, the GCE FSCC modifies guidance in accordance with the commander, landing force and GCE commander’s intent, orders, and verbal direction. This guidance is transmitted to the SACC (afloat) and subordinate FSCCs, FDCs, and fire support assets. Changes to guidance should not be disseminated between echelons as each echelon optimizes

AFATDS performs functions based on its established echelon (regiment or battalion) and role (FSCC, FDC or other). Fire Mission Processing Fire mission processing is a key function of the fire support system. AFATDS uses commander’s guidance, task organization, and received mission information to select the appropriate fire support asset, and to route the fire mission to the appropriate operational facility (OPFAC). Processing through multiple OPFACs is usually required to move the mission from the requester to the shooter. Processing and route may be transparent to some of the OPFACs depending on intervention criteria. Intervention Criteria AFATDS can use database information to automatically process, coordinate, and possibly deny fire missions without operator intervention. Intervention points allow operators to stop automatic processing under given conditions to review and alter. Intervention criteria are comprised of a set of rules that govern the interruption of the automatic fire mission process. An unlimited number of intervention rules can be established, however, development and use of intervention points can significantly decrease responsiveness. Each rule is built around the following categories of mission information: ● Battle area. ● Attack option. ● Mission precedence. ● Target type. ● Filters. ● Analysis result. These six criteria may be set in any combination to create a single rule. Multiple rules may be constructed. Default Setup When the database is initially constructed, a single default rule is incorporated that causes all fire missions to be subject to intervention. Deleting this rule causes all fire missions to process automatically. Missions assigned for attack by Army Tactical Missile Systems are automatically displayed for operator intervention without regard to operator-established intervention criteria. Tracking Fire Missions When a fire mission is processed without any intervention, each OPFAC can maintain situational awareness of active missions as described below. Active fire missions can be displayed on an overlay, causing any received fire mission— regardless of intervention criteria—to appear on the screen as a bold target symbol. The operator can ascertain information about the target by clicking the symbol that appears. All fire missions received are placed in the active target list until the missions end by receipt of a mission-fired report. The operator can display mission information at any time for any target. Each method allows the operator to display the target status window that shows all fire mission messages received or transmitted for the mission in question. The status of the mission can also be requested or traced to obtain the status of the mission at every station involved. Fire requests and fire orders may be printed when they are received and/or transmitted. This is accomplished by making entries in the configure printing setup. This function is accessed by
