CONOPS Analysis
Informed by the latest Joint and Army Warfighting Concepts, and Aviation, Maneuver and Sustainment Warfighting Conceptstactically and operationally relevant
JHNA provides expert Concept of Operations (CONOPS) Development and Requirements Analysis for Department of Defense programs, specializing inArmy aviation, Army Watercraft and ground maneuver warfare and sustainment.
We have extensive experience crafting tactically and operationally relevant scenarios to explore novel concepts and requirements in the broader context of Joint All-Domain Operations and Joint Force integration. The concepts we develop align with current and future war fighting scenarios and concepts, providing a strong foundation for modernization efforts and informed decision-making by stakeholders.
How do we approach CONOPS Analysis?
JHNA combines decades of real-world Army combat-tested Aviation, Sustainment, and ground Maneuver experience – including Stryker Infantry commanders, Armor commanders, Aviation Commanders and Sustainment commanders, experimental test pilots, Attack and Lift aviators, UAS operators, and Watercraft technicians, engineers and commanders – with extensive ground and air maneuver warfare planning and execution experience, Battalion and Brigade War Fighting Training experience, and modeling and simulation engineering to deliver comprehensive and credible concepts and requirement recommendations.
Our approach is grounded in current and emerging doctrine and emerging Joint and Army concepts to ensure our CONOPS align with warfighter requirements and strategic objectives. We thoroughly assess current and future technology trends from friendly and adversary perspectives to identify opportunities and threats, ensuring our concepts maintain tactical and operational advantage.
To ensure our clients have the data they need, we validate our concepts through tailored modeling and simulation techniques, including analytical modeling, force-on-force simulations, and multiple-run, physics-based Monte-Carlo simulations.
Our key features, benefits & publications:
-
Focused on Future Warfighting Concepts. Our efforts are grounded in current and evolving Army and Joint Force doctrine ensures that the concepts and requirements we develop are credible, relevant, and integrated with supported and supporting concepts in system of systems approach. Our efforts are informed by the latest Joint and Army Warfighting Concepts, and Aviation, Maneuver and Sustainment Warfighting Concepts that enable for Joint All Domain Operations and Large-Scale Combat Operations.
-
Informed by Technological Innovation. Our deep involvement in DoD Science and Technology development enables us to keep abreast of current and projected militarily relevant technologies to ensure that our concepts and requirements remain innovative, account for expanded capabilities, and stay ahead of emerging threats.
-
Supported by Modeling & Simulation. Our concepts and thoroughly tested and validated through rigorous wargaming and constructive and virtual simulation, providing senior leaders confidence in operational effectiveness and system integration.
Our proven impact
-
Developed the initial Operational Concepts for Launched Effects adopted by the Army as part of the Future Vertical Lift Ecosystem and incorporated into multiple requirements documents.
-
Developed tactical scenarios and operational concepts for the Joint Tactical Autonomous Aerial Resupply System (JTAARS), informing the ULS-A JCTD, support program development in a Cost-Benefit Analysis and later incorporated into Army and Marine Corps requirements.
-
Executed comprehensive wargaming exercises for U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command, significantly improving collaboration and improving the realistic development of new technologies.
-
Developed future operational concepts to characterize the Combat Aviation Brigades mission effectiveness involving the employment of autonomous technologies in legacy aircraft such as UH-60 Blackhawks and CH-47 Chinooks.
