In July 1994, the Joint Staff Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (C4I) Directorate (J6) initiated a Statement of Work (SOW) to explore the feasibility of a joint Air Operations Center (AOC) concept. The impetus for this examination is the proliferation and worldwide installation of Contingency Theater Air Control System (TACS) Automated Planning System (CTAPS) terminals being installed worldwide and the number of commands/services/units purporting an AOC capability. "This study will look at the pros and cons of this proliferation and determine if AOCs can, and should, be consolidated into Joint AOCs."
