COMPAS COMParison & Awareness of Situations Dr Jean-Pierre FAYE VizCOP WS, Toronto 14-17 September 2004
A Multi-Level COP Concept • French COP Concept • Integrate various picture from Tactical level up to strategical level • Command tool supporting Knowledge base, planning decision & C2 process • All relevant information: past, current and future • US COP Joint Vision 2020 • Knowleged based process (Fires, ISR, Logistics & Manœuvre) for decision making • Not only CINC, CJTF, Component commander, but also real-time view of the battle space A common vision of multi-level COP concept
Concept demonstration at JWID • The Joint Warfare Interoperability Demonstration (JWID) is a annual event that enables Command staff users to investigate C4I solution enhancing coalition interoperability. • JWID’01 French COP Objective • Integrate various picture from Tactical level up to strategical level • JWID’04 COMPAS demonstrator Objective • Command tool supporting Knowledge base, planning decision & C2 process • All relevant information: past, current and future

Demonstrated COMPAS Capabilities • OPLAN data base import from TOPFAS • Ordre of Battle (ORBAT) • Task to Troop allocation • Overlays (Areas of Responsibility, Course Of Action) • Initial unit positions • Land & Maritime situation import • OWNSITREP, ENSITREP • NAVSITSUM, MARITSUM • Test trials: NATO (LCC/J3, MCC), GE, IT, NO, RO, TU, US • Situation Awareness dissemination • Planned Course Of Action & Current Manoeuvre Comparison • Historical Mouvement • CROP dissemination through Web portal

CoA/CROP Comparison Using COMPAS
Historical Mouvements Using COMPAS
Lesson Learned • OPLAN data base import from TOPFAS • Need for CoA updates (Blue and Red Forces position and CoA updates) • A gap exist between an OPLAN and a scenario for simulation • Need for Task indicators • Lack of criteria of success • Poor information to correlate with the CROP • Land & Maritime situation import • Lack of unit identification in AdatP-3 message sent • Difficulty to establish a comprehensive situation awareness • CoA reliability • Situation Awareness dissemination • Easy Screen shot exchange • Limited Data exchange for end-user exploitation • Operational interest for COMPAS • Red CoA comprehension • Support for CJTF CAX exercise (Current use)
Recommendations • Need for a set of indicators to control planning execution • Based on AdatP-3 data set or C2IEDM Data Model • Design specifically for each task • Define task status symbology • Exemple for targeting: type and status of target, existing document, … • CoA simulation requires appropriate scenario editor • Scenario interpretation of operational tasks • ISTAR operations required a real-time COP • Air & Ground Tracks, • Mission reassignment capabilities
