The Mission Planning program office (HBM) works collaboratively with the Army and Navy to leverage technical solutions and business practices for all DoD platforms. It provides automated Mission Planning tools and product support for fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft and guided munitions. HBM is replacing two closed architecture legacy Mission Planning systems and the PC-based Portable Flight Planning Software (PFPS) with a single multi-service open-architecture system more commonly referred to as the Joint Mission Planning System (JMPS).

JMPS allows aircrews to process larger amounts of data required for today's platforms more efficiently to be able to create that mission in an acceptable amount of time. Mission Planning delivers significant benefits to command and control (C2) performance by enhancing information superiority for the Warfighters and by providing unique capabilities in support of precision engagement.
