Concept of Model/Entity Resolution • Three levels in OneSAF: standard, autonomous, and focused • Interactions between entities of different levels of resolution are tested • Allows users to compose the level of resolution where it is needed Focused (High) Autonomous (Medium) Standard (Low)
Things We Like • Development Process • Early & Continuous Domain Participation • Single Development Facility • Reuse (Emphasis on Standardization) • Continuous User Assessments • Incremental Development (program Blocks) • Composer Tools • Behavior • Unit • Entity • Combat Physical Models • Varying Fidelity Capability • Standard Algorithms • Physical Model Verification Testing Reuse, Standardization, Combat Physical Models, Frequent Testing, Composability
Combat Physical Model Combat Physical Models…. provide the mathematical representation of combat systems and their interactions with the environment and other entities. Physical models may be represented at multiple levels of fidelity. Battle Environment Target Acquisition Attrition Communication Movement Sustainment

FY07 OneSAF Shake Out Effort(When & How) • Phase I – 3rd Qtr FY07 • Define Scenario/Vignette • Prepare & submit weapon system performance data request • Phase II – 4th Qtr FY07 • Load data & Configure OneSAF (entity & physical model configuration and behavior data tables) • Phase III – 1st Qtr FY08 • Execute run matrix • Analyze data collection • Document phase I & II • Brief results to PM OneSAF • Phase IV – 2nd Qtr FY08 • Identify appropriate use case & attempt to conduct an analysis for record Currently working with ACR Domain on FY07 RIB items 2,7,8 and 13
Summary • Domain co development efforts currently ongoing using OneSAF v1.x • Expect more co development efforts with the release of OneSAF v1.5 • Some domain use with OneSAF versions 1.5 & 2.0 (transitioning, shakeouts,etc.) • Expect significant increase in domain use with OneSAF release of v3.0 Due to various levels of M&S experience within the RDA domain expect some organizations to transition to OneSAF earlier than others
