Application of Mission Support Systems Technology to Navy Fighters

This proposal describes GreyStone's understanding of the challenges to providing mission support systems technology to meet the needs of the Navy's fighter community. It describes what we believe to be the driving requirements for mission planning and support for fighter aircrew and aircraft, the critical details of mission support systems technology, and the criteria for achieving the technical objectives of this research effort. A technical plan is offered that will identify specific hardware, software and interface requirements necessary to plan air-to-air tactics, establish the feasibility of mission support for fighters, and provide the roadmap for a prototype demonstration of the unique aspects of fighter mission planning and support.
