Mobility Air Force Distributed Mission Operations (MAF DMO

MOBILITY AIR FORCES DISTRIBUTED MISSION OPERATIONS (MAF DMO)

The mission statement for the MAF DMO Program is “To train in a secure, realistic networked environment while reducing risk and operating cost. MAF DMO capabilities will enable Live, Virtual, and Constructive (LVC) participation in a wide range of MAF, USAF, Joint and Combined exercises.” The overall objective of this effort is to provide O&I support to facilitate persistent, distributed training for MAF Aircrew Training Systems (ATS) in support of Headquarters Air Force’s Live, Virtual, and Constructive program.

Scope includes operating and maintaining the Distributed Training Center (DTC) and DTC Network (DTCN) in support of worldwide ATS training, and maintaining connectivity and interoperability between other MAJCOMs and organizations [i.e., Joint Training Enterprise Network (JTEN), Distributed Training Operations Center (DTOC), Distributed Mission Operations Center (DMOC), and Distributed Mission Operations Network (DMON), and the AFSOC Readiness Training Center (ARTC)]. Efforts under this Task Order span requirements development, site surveys, systems integration & test, operations sustainment, logistics, security and network support, defining interoperability standards, and change management. The DTC is the “Hub” for the networked mobility training devices and is located at Scott AFB, IL. The DTC facility on base is currently undergoing construction additions to expand the square footage. The DTC consists of multiple Distributed Training Center Operator Stations (DTCOS) comprised of equipment required to support the interfacing of the DTCN connected trainers and allows an operator to monitor, manage, and troubleshoot the DTCN and associated equipment. The DTCOS allows information to be processed in plain text so they can interface with the DTCN through the wide area network (WAN). The DTC also has Event Control Centers providing manned constructive white force capabilities used to enhance mission accomplishment across a range of mobility missions.

MAF DMO DTC Building The DTC has maintained a network reliability & availability of greater than 99% over the past 12 months while conducting daily MAF Mission Profiles (MMPs), Daily Persistent Training with C-17s and KC135s, and coalition training exercises.

MAF DMO Network Connectivity (Current)

A significant increase in activity is expected over the next few years (FY22-26) with increased MMPs, Virtual Air Refueling (VAR) capability, and the connection of additional MAF Platforms and sites.
