  1. GlobalSim Ellen Roland ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES 16th JTLS International Users Conference 4 March 2014

  2. JMRM Version 1.1 • Released In July 2008 • Principal Federates: • JTLS Version 3.3.3 • JCATS Version 8.0.5 • First Use By NATO Exercise SFJR08 • Steadfast Joiner 08 • October 31 – November 14, 2008 • U.S. Stopped Program Immediately After ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

  3. Exercise Statistics • Aggregate Level Scenario: 4000 units • Entity Level: 70,000 combat systems • Exercise Duration: 8 days • Federation availability: 98 % of duration • Air tasking for civilian and military missions • JCATS vignettes for joint personnel • Recovery Task (1 per day) • Time sensitive targeting (1-2 per day) ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

  4. Exercise Conclusions • JMRM / NTF Works • Good Reliability • Supported Desired Training • JMRM / NTF Is Useful??? • Hard to Say – Catch-22 • Scenario Selected Because • Impossible To Test Under Exercise Conditions • If It Doesn’t Work – Training Objectives Must Be Met • Can’t Prove It Was Useful ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

  5. Lessons Learned • Database Preparation • Make As Easy As Possible • Test Game Invaluable • Advanced order testing was used often • Practice Recovery Procedures • Don’t Count On Procedural Fix To Problems • Procedures Are Easy To Forget / Ignore / Teach • Implement Code Protections ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

  6. Lessons Learned • Don’t Create Non-Standard Procedures • Too Easy To Forget / Enable Errors • SDC Legacy Issues ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

  7. GlobalSimVersion 0 • Client Country Interested In • Multi-Resolution Federation • Principal Federates: • JTLS • GEfechts (Warfare) SImulation (GESI) • MUSE/AFSERS • Goal: Return To Original JMRM Capabilities • Biggest Problem – Entity Location Inconsistency ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

  8. Basic Concept JTLS Representation • Covers theater area of operations • Includes all relevant actors • Requires time/distance coordination at theater level GESI Representation • multiple interest areas • polygonal • may be geographically separate ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

  9. GlobalSim Architecture JTLS WEB Services: JXSR XMS OMA SYNAPSE MDP Apache Server JTLS CEP ELS Timing Federates: (minimum 1 required) JODA EODA PACER FMT-R JHIP JTLS WHIP workstations HLA – RTI JTLS and GESI Communicate via HLA Clients: JHIP and GESI Bridge GESI Bridge GESI GESI Player Clients ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

  10. WHAT is the ELS? • JTLS component program which disaggregates ARUs into the representative combat system entities • Entities available over the entire game board, individually selected in DDS, or filtered by Command Hierarchy • Purpose of the ELS: provide a consistent representation of individual combat systems ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

  11. Current Capabilities • Transferable Objects • Ground Unit • Squadron, Airbase, Support, FARP, and Ground Combat Units • High Resolution Units (HRU) • Air Mission • Non-Transferable Objects • Naval Units • Convoys – Reflected Only ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

  12. Current Capabilities • Transfer Negotiated • Do you want the object? • Yes I do! • Here it is! • Thank you! ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

  13. Current Capabilities • Damage • Types Represented • Air-to-Air • Surface-to-Air • Air-to-Ground • Surface-to-Surface • Inflict and Reflect Damage in both models • Cross-model damage through interactions • Force-on-Force not represented ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

  14. Database Preparation • Correlation of data is critical to GlobalSim • No Work Has Been Accomplished Yet ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

  15. Limitations • Federation Requires Specific Model Versions • New Units During Game Play Not Available • Dynamic HRUs • Detachments • Attachments • Cross-attachments • Transfer of Naval Units Not Fully Functional • Representation Of Personnel ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

  16. Advantages to GlobalSim • Training at Theater and Tactical Levels • Overlapping Regions Increases Tactical Awareness Within Theater • Commercially Available Federates • Makes Federation Feasible • Direct Link To MUSE Supported • Shadow Federations Easily Utilized ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

  17. Future Enhancements • Coordinate Database Creation • Dynamic HRUs • Detach/Attach Capabilities • Naval Units • Cross-Simulation Counter-Fire • Improved Battle Damage Assessments ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation
