Joint Theater Level Simulation Tablet Research Project
Agenda • Tasking • Use Case • Technical • Prototype Capabilities • Feedback • Demo ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation
Tasking • Develop And Demonstrate • JTLS Wireless Graphical User Interface • Map Display • User Requested Data Such As Unit Information ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation
Use Case • A subject matter expert (SME) tasked with evaluating a training audience during a command post exercise. • Portability allows the SME to be positioned to best evaluate the training while still being able to monitor the progress of the game. • Notification of upcoming training events based on game time. • Pre-staged orders tied to a training event to allow game conditions to be set. ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation
Technical • Technology Changes Rapidly • Nexus 10 tablet running the Android operating system. • Programmed in a variant of Java. • Allows leveraging of some WHIP code. • However, the user interface implementation in Android is completely different from Oracle Java requiring complete re-implementation of graphical components. ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation
Technical (continued) • Basic Conclusions • Limited processing power and available memory compared to a desktop workstation. • Assumes availability of a wireless network. ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation
Prototyped Capabilities • WHIP like map display. • Hexes, roads, and rivers. • Game objects. • Object Information. • User input regions and locations. • Used with orders. • CADRG maps. • Game time and status. • Force Ratios. • In a region or the screen. ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation
Capabilities (continued) • Object search capability by: • Name, Side, or Region • Orders • Able to send orders as any side. • Training Events. • List of events. • Pop-up reminders about upcoming events. • Order groups tied to events. ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation
Potential User Feedback • Additional Use Cases • Additional Capabilities Need • Future Of Capability • Continue With • Tablet • Concept Of MEL/MIL or MSEL Tool ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation
Demo • Wednesday 1330 – 1600 • R&A Offices in Del Rey Oaks ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation
