Joint Fires & Targeting · sense → decide → task → assess

Turn the picture into tasked fires.

OAK Joint Fires is the decision and tasking layer on top of the EW SUITE: where the suite senses emitters and delivers effects, Joint Fires nominates targets, builds the call-for-fire and gun solution, checks the kill chain closes in time, deconflicts it, and assesses the result. Five apps that close the loop.

The targeting cycle

One loop, end to end

Joint Fires consumes the catalogue's picture rather than producing more isolated analysis — multi-INT fusion feeds the target list, the artillery reference supplies the batteries, and the MDO synchroniser supplies the effects to deconflict against.

Decide — target nomination

From the fusion picture to a prioritised HPTL

Turns the multi-INT fusion picture into a ranked High-Payoff Target List
CARVER × category-payoff × location-accuracy scoring, with target folders
Payoff-sized laydown so the priority is obvious at a glance
SA-11 TELAR, BM-21 battery, brigade C2, SP howitzer — scored and ordered

Target Nomination — High-Payoff Target List

Task — call-for-fire

Build the mission, get the gun solution

Pick the firing battery (e.g. M777) and method of engagement
Gun solution: range, bearing, quadrant elevation and time of flight
Sheaf geometry, lethal-area coverage and a danger-close advisory on a map
Surface Danger Zone checked against friendly and observer locations

Call-for-Fire & Fire-Mission — gun solution

Task — dynamic targeting

Does the kill chain close in time?

Scores the Find-Fix-Track-Target-Engage-Assess chain on a time-sensitive target
Sensor-to-shooter latency vs the target's exposure window, on a timeline
Counter-battery radar → 155 mm cannon against an MLRS battery that displaces after a salvo
A trade-space view for where the decision delay can — and can't — be afforded

Task — deconfliction

Don't fly a round through your own jam

Deconflicts fire missions against airspace coordination measures
…and against friendly EW / NAVWAR effects from the MDO synchroniser
Catches a GPS-guided round crossing a friendly GNSS-denial window
…or a datalink round flying under a friendly jam — fires fratricide, flagged

Fires Deconfliction — airspace and EW/NAVWAR

Assess — BDA & re-attack

Close the loop — and decide whether to re-attack

From delivery error, lethal radius and round count, compute probability of damage
Classify the damage level against the target's category
Recommend whether to re-attack — closing the F2T2EA loop
Lethality from a pluggable JMEM-style provider (MAE by munition × target × posture)

Accreditation-ready by design

An open build that matures into an accredited one — without a rewrite

The physics and data sit behind pluggable seams. The open build ships generic, unclassified models; the controlled firing-table, JMEM and ballistic-kernel data that make this a true fire-control solution drop in under authorization — no change to the apps.

Pluggable ballistic kernel STANAG 4355

One interface, any kernel: a fast Vacuum model or a Modified Point Mass model (RK4, Mach-dependent drag, air density, wind, optional Coriolis / spin drift).

NABK seam

A concrete adapter showing exactly how the licensed NATO Armaments Ballistic Kernel registers — reports unavailable and fails safe in the open build, no controlled code or data included.

JMEM-style lethality

A pluggable lethality provider — Mean Area of Effectiveness by munition × target × posture. Generic data open; controlled JMEM / JWS data behind an accredited provider.

Computer met message STANAG 4082

Ingests a representational METB3 met message and resolves layered wind and temperature into the ballistic wind the kernel uses — the live-met-feed seam.

Digital fire-mission message

A structured call-for-fire + message-to-observer with round-trip parsing — the C2 interoperability seam, ready to map onto AFATDS / NATO ASCA under contract.

Accreditation matrix

A capability / authorization matrix that states, per component, what ships in the open build and exactly what authority a controlled version needs — the sponsor-facing artifact.

Honest by design

A planning aid — explicit about what it is

OAK Joint Fires is an unclassified, representational planning, training and analysis aid. It uses vacuum-ballistic gun solutions, notional CARVER / latency / lethality models and public max-range and munition reference data — no real coordinates, no employment data, and it is not a fire-control or targeting system.
