JADE is a knowledge-based system that uses highly structured information that takes advantage of data hierarchies.
To support plan adaption of previous plans or modifications resulting from changing mission requirements, constraint checking against the knowledge base and mission goals causes automatic reminders from the system to notify the user of changes and improvements that need to be made.
JADE is designed to inter-operate with the Adaptive Course of Action (ACOA) program, which provides a near real-time distributed collaborative environment that supports end-to-end joint planning by multiple command centers.
"Time Phased Force Deployment Data" (TPFDD) is a U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) term.
