4C Strategies • 4C is based in the United Kingdom & Sweden • R&A and 4C have started a dialogue on how JTLS & Exonaut can enhance the training effect delivered • 4C have decided to invest in JTLS & Exonaut integration as part of our overall product development plan
Exonaut basics • Challenge we saw 2000 • Reuse exercise data between exercises • Coordinate scenario/plan documents information between up to 400 concurrent users • Basics • Developed since 2000 (v6) • Server – Client software (stand-alone operation is also possible) • Web or Mobile enabled • Multi-Lingual • English (Military & Civilian) • German • Arabic • Swedish • Danish Exonaut is an training & exercise management system that support CAX (and non-CAX training) from the scheduling phase to the evaluation phase…
The Exonaut system JTLS THE INTEGRATED EXONAUT TOOLBOX MAPS HLA(1516) / DIS Permissions Security ADL Training & Exercise Manager Scenario Information Manager Training Progression Manager Training & Exercise Calendar • Schedule training events • Long term planner • Plan exercise conferences & execution dates • Report generation • Fusion exercise plan and simulation data • Track workflow throughout EXCON • Plan scenario (MEL/MIL) • Control EXCON activities • Analyze training events • Generate an asymetrical scenario • Compare scenario data with TA reported data to allow AAR • Analyze “2-function” assessments • Identify training risk • Track training objectives for units • Observe units performance during training • Can automatically aggregate reports on performance

4C experience from cax • Challenge • Constructive simulation can be found abstract by commanders? • Simulation is sometimes left ”on the sidelines” of the planning • Value • Simulation bring unique consequence to training • Exercise Management bring better coordination / workflow R&A & 4C Assumption: Sharing information willcreate an 1 +1 = 3 situation

JTLS & Exonaut Integration idea- Integrated exercise Management • Copy and paste • Saved 50% time during planning of Div. size exercise scenario • Scenario repositories • We had an enhanced realism with Exonaut integrated • less ”forced interaction” with 30% during exercise day 3-8 compared to previous exercises • The Training Progression audit trail give invaluable input to future training • Before training commanders can go through previous experiences related to the objectives they are to train on
