  4. What are the M&S problems? • Keep up with accelerating requirements • Test, train, experiment and rehearse in a continuously • available environment • Reduce time and cost to set up exercises /simulations • Encompass all real-world environments • Provide interoperability across the Unified Action partners, • Interagency & multinational • Standards are key to interoperability • Develop a focused National investment strategy The Training World is Transforming but M&S is Evolving

  5. Money and resources required to set-up each exercise (40+ exercise/yr) Man-Hours, Government and Contractors Funding for M&S support to Joint Training is constant Requirements for M&S support continue to increase in complexity and quantity A Sum – Zero game Where do we make up the difference? Develop standards to reduce cost and man-hours to prepare for each event Build the system once instead of repetitively for each event Allows plug and play interoperability among M&S systems What are the issues?

  6. Man Hours Man Hours I/C Tng Costs Down Time TDY Costs Man Hours What Are the Solutions?Production Focus Areas • Rapid Database Development Execution IPC MPC FPC CDC ET1 ET2 ET3 • Collaboration Tools Execution IPC MPC FPC CDC ET1 ET2 ET3 • AAR System IPC MPC FPC Execution CDC ET1 ET2 ET3 • Common Entry Client IPC MPC FPC CDC ET1 ET2 ET3 Execution • Network transparency Execution IPC MPC FPC CDC ET1 ET2 ET3 • Effects Based Approach to Operations Execution MPC FPC IPC CDC ET1 ET2 ET3 = Definite savings = Potential savings

  7. Solution - JRSG • Joint Rapid Scenario Generation (JRSG) • Data Standards • Establish data repository • Enables all M&S programs to talk to each other • Reduces/eliminates the need/costs of Event Testing • Drag and Drop units/forces from • Re-useable Data

  8. Collaboration Tools IWS Next or future system Critical component of distributed exercises Reduces Forward Footprint Saves Travel Dollars Reduces Instructor/Controllers Travel Tempo Must be effective enough to negate need for face to face meetings! Solution - Collaboration

  9. After Action Review Distributed/collaborative tool for Deployable Training Team (O/Ts, SMs, Analysts) Reduces personnel requirements forward (analyst can stay at home) Saves travel dollars Scalable and easily accessible Solution - AAR

  10. Common Entry Client Intuitive, easy to use Standardized console/computer interface Reduces cost and man-hours for training Only need to train once, then the user is good for life Solution – Common Entry Client

  11. Network Operations & Security Center Tools Information Assurance Multi-National Information System/Multi-level Security Network Maintenance 24/7 operations System availability Solution - NOSC

  12. Effects Based Approach to Operations Intuitive, easy to use Standardized interface Reduced cost and dollars for system training Solution – EBAO

  13. Issue: Past event success paved by pre-event testing rigor This approach cannot support increased event schedule Solution: Operationalizing M&S Standards: Ease testing burden Shorter setup/prep time Minimize systems training Simplify exercise execution Reduce JELC So what does all this mean? Make Better Use of Available Tools and personnel
