Joint Targeting Toolbox Successfully Integrated at JEFX 2006 Published Dec. 5, 2006 By Information Directorate AFRL/IF ROME, N.Y. -- AFRL installed and integrated its Joint Targeting Toolbox (JTT) version 3.0.2 into the baseline software architecture at the Joint Expeditionary Force Experiment (JEFX) 2006 Spiral 3 exercise, conducted at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada. Over 170 exercise participants and operators received training on JTT. The AFRL-developed tool consists of a set of software applications, or segments, specifically engineered to optimize joint targeting throughout the full spectrum of conflict. As a primary targeting application, JTT provides automated support to operational and targeting requirements that will have a positive impact on national, operational, and tactical levels. JTT integrates historical data with real-time intelligence and allows collaborative, joint user sessions to provide timely and accurate target development and assessment of political-military systems. It fuses analytical data with operational strategies and tasks via command-directed objectives and guidance. JTT also assists in the identification of target system vulnerabilities, resulting in high-value/high-payoff targets, as well as no-strike targets and facilities sensitive to collateral damage. It helps in determining target location and priority and in recommending effective, coordinated applications of available lethal and nonlethal force. The software also helps assess physical and functional target damage resulting from applied air, ground, and maritime force. It automatically compiles and exploits operations and intelligence information, generates combat assessments, and reports results directly to the required personnel and organizations.
