Simulation Tools at JWDTC Strategic Fidelity Joint Theater Level Simulation (JTLS) Joint Seminar Wargame Adjudication Tool (JSWAT) Operational Virtual Battlespace (VBS2) Tactical Collective Training Individual Training Planning Support Use
Simulation Uses • Command Post Exercises (CPX) – collective • Deployable JFHQ – JTLS • Staff College Course – individual • JOPS - Wargame Operational Plan – JTLS • JTAC Basic Course – individual • CAS simulation – VBS2 • UN Military Observers Course – individual • Virtual Patrol Teams – VBS2 • Joint Operations Planning Course – individual • Planning Process (COA Analysis) – JSWAT
Virtual Battlespace (VBS2) • Best for Individual training • Tactical level procedures • Plan scenarios – 2D • Immerse on execution – 3D • Joint and Civilian Systems/Infrastructure • Light user footprint • Heavy technical development • COTS software/hardware • Use: UNMO and JTAC Training
UN Military Observer Course (UNMOC)- Virtual Patrol Teams • drive mission route • encounter range of scenarios • map to ground skills • effective Radio comms • procedural responses • deal with ethical dilemmas
Joint Terminal Attack Controller (JTAC)- Sensor Targeting Training • Train JTAC to ‘talk on’ sensor to the target • Simulation enables: • reduced cost training environment • control environment (night, weather, smoke) • introduce noise (disable video, degrade radio comms) Virtual Aircraft with Sensor Sensor Aircraft/Control Sensor Feed JTAC talks sensor onto target – Simulated Comms Net VBS2 VBS2 Instructor Pilot Student - Simulated ROVER
Joint Seminar Wargame Adjudication Tool (JSWAT) • Assists in adjudication of seminar wargames • Operational level • Orbat flexibility • Rapid force lay down • Map overlays, imagery • Alternate COAs • Branches and sequels • Turn based adjudication • Tailorable adjudication • movement • detection • combat • log • Export capability for briefs • Light footprint (technical/user) • ADO DSTO developed • Use: JOPC wargames

JTLS 2011 Activities Demonstrations • Joint Combined Training Capability (JCTC) • Reside in JOC J7 • Lack operational level joint simulation (JCATS only) • Potential for JTLS-OneSAF-VBS2 federation • Amphibious Task Force (ATF) Staff • Force 2030 • new amphibious ships (2 x LHD) – arrive 2014/15 ? • ATF staff on board • SAS/HEALT schedules key part of any assault • Successfully demonstrated in JTLS • High level of detail (ARU/HRUs on Helo/Boats and re-attach)

JTLS Future Focus Joint Staff College Wargames • Conducted regularly over last 10 years at MAJ(E) level • Executive keen to see re-invigorated • Building business case • Seeking Staff College - Joint Wargame Examples • Identify Benefits • Virtual sim easy (e.g. $ saved with reduced flying hours) • Quantifying tangible benefits of SIM to JOPS wargame • Practice warfighting art • Appropriate application of force • C4I system familiarization • Reduce delivery cost • Puckster overhead, train quicker • Examine alternate wargame constructs • turn lengths, speeds, C2 interfaces
