JEFX 2000 is the third in a series of Chief of Staff of the Air Force (CSAF) sponsored Warfighter experiments. The experiment is part of a broader effort to implement Joint Vision 2010 and exploit the Revolution in Military Affairs. The objective of AF experimentation is to expedite building the Expeditionary Aerospace Force (EAF) for the 21st century. Among the primary themes for JEFX are advanced command and control (C2) concepts and technologies to achieve the AF vision of global engagement. The JEFX series of experiments will address each AF core competency, with the ultimate goal of providing greater capability for the Joint Force Commander. JEFX 2000 will employ live-fly and simulation to evaluate new operational concepts and emerging technologies. HQ Air Combat Command (ACC) is the sponsoring MAJCOM for JEFX 2000. The Aerospace Command and Control, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Center (AC2ISRC) is the executive agent and Electronic Systems Center is the acquisition arm and systems architect. JEFX 2000 is expeditionary in nature and 80% focused on Command and Control (C2). Integration of Agile Combat Support (ACS) considerations into the Expeditionary Air Force (EAF) environment is the primary area of emphasis for JEFX 2000.
