Air & Space Operations Weapon System Integrator (AOC WSI)
Modernizing Command & Control Centers Worldwide
An Air and Space Operations Center can plan and execute thousands of sorties a day, coordinating joint air forces as diverse as F-16 fighters, refueling tankers, and attack helicopters into an integrated air campaign. As the primary systems used by Joint Force Air Component Commanders to exercise command and control of air and space power worldwide, an AOC is a highly complex operation, with up to 48 discrete systems that support diverse missions. Originally, each system within the AOC was built to meet a specific mission and as such, they are supported by different systems, operating procedures and personnel requirements. Lockheed Martin is working to fuse information across disciplines and to evolve the centers around the world into a standardized, seamless, integrated enterprise. In September 2006, the United States Air Force selected an industry team led by Lockheed Martin to be the Air and  Space Operations Center Weapon System Integrator (AOC WSI). Under this multi-year contract, the team will work with the Air Force to standardize, modernize, sustain and t ransform the more than 20 AOCs worldwide into interoperable net-centric weapon systems that will provide commanders real-time, common operational views of the global battlefield. These include the centers located in regions such as the Middle East and East Asia from which the general who oversees all U.S., allied and coalition aircraft in a theater of operations can execute an air campaign and direct space support and information operations activities. They also include those centers that are used to protect the homeland and support specialized missions, as well as those utilized for training, testing and technical support or serving in backup roles. Lockheed Martin leads a team that includes Raytheon, SAIC, Dynamics Research Corporation, Intelligent Software Solutions, Gestalt and Computer Sciences Corporation. Lockheed Martin’s team will:  Standardize the AOC enterprise to a common hardware and software baseline and manage the program as a true weapon system
- Integrate the 48 existing AOC systems and applications, adding machine to machine interfaces that will provide greater automation of tasks, faster access to ISR data, enhanced battle damage assessment capabilities and greater reach into the space, ground and maritime arenas
- Revolutionize the AOC enterprise by executing a strategic roadmap to transform the AOC into a fast, flexible, net-centric cornerstone of the C2 constellation
