Which system is used for Planning in the ADSE/AGIE suite?

• A. FAAD (Forward Area Air Defense C2) = Air Picture
• B. AMDWS (Air and Missile Defense Workstation) = Planning
• C. TAIS (Tactical Airspace Integration System) = Airspace
• D. CDLIM (Common Data Link Interface Module) = Data Links

Answer: (B)

In the ADSE/AGIE suite, planning is handled by the Air and Missile Defense Workstation. This system is designed to support building and coordinating defense plans, including assigning fires, sequencing engagements, and managing resources across sensors and shooters. It lets operators analyze threats, develop engagement plans, determine weapon-to-target matches, timing, and deconfliction, and then translate that plan into actionable instructions for fire-control devices. The other components serve different roles—Forward Area Air Defense C2 provides the air picture and execution command and control; Tactical Airspace Integration System handles airspace management; and the Common Data Link Interface Module deals with data-link communications. Because planning requires tools to model threats, allocate weapons, and sequence engagements before execution, the Air and Missile Defense Workstation is the best fit.
