| Joint Flow and Analysis System for Transportation (JFAST) |
|
| Primary Purpose | JFAST is a multi-modal transportation analysis |
| model designed for the U.S. Transportation |
| Command (USTRANSCOM) and the Joint Planning |
| Community. JFAST is used to determine |
| transportation requirements, perform course of |
| action analysis, and project delivery profiles of |
| troops and equipment by air, land, and sea. |
| Sub-Functions | The Notional Requirements Generator (NRG) is a |
| subset of JFAST providing rapid course of action |
| development and estimation of transportation |
| feasibility when Time-Phased Force and Deployment |
| Data (TPFDD) does not exist or is insufficient |
| for conducting gross transportation analysis. The |
| NRG allows selection of major forces to be |
| deployed, specify approximate time phasing, |
| identify combat support/combat service support |
| and develop a sustainment wedge for forces being |
| deployed. |
| Equipment Requirements | JFAST version 7.1.85 operates on Windows 95, 98 |
| or Windows NT. |
| Connectivity Requirements | JFAST operates as a stand-alone workstation, in a |
| client-server application, or interfaces with |
| Global Command and Control System (GCCS). |
| Crypto Requirements | No internal Crypto. User determines based on |
| data. |

| Information Managed | Input primarily comes from Joint Operation |
| Planning and Execution System (JOPES) in the form |
| of OPLAN TPFDDs and reference files. Additional |
| data files provided by transportation operating |
| commands of Air Mobility Command, Military |
| Sealift Command, and Military Traffic Management |
| Control. JFAST functions are transportation |
| analysis, data facilities, utilities, and NRG. |
| Products Created | Data models origin out loading, transit to POE, |
| throughput constraints at POE, airlift and |
| sealift to POD, and throughput constraints at |
| POD. Focus on analysis and identification of |
| transportation bottlenecks. Presents graphic and |
| tabular output showing impact upon transportation resources, vehicles, and ports. |
Lead Service/Contractor | Functional OPR is USTRANSCOM/TCJ3-OP. |
Current Fielding Status | Fielded, in use within all services and several |
support agencies of DoD. |
Known Problems | None reported. |
DIICOE Compliance Rating | Level 5. |
