Copyright 2017, ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation Agenda Automatic Supply Calculation. (5.0.1) Move Squadrons with Airbase. (5.0.1) Copy Orders Between Servers. (5.0.1) Information Assurance Changes. Aug 2017 Copyright 2017, ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

Automatic Supply Calculations Re-implemented the stand-alone ASC as part of the DDS. Why? Reduce the amount of developer provided data. Eliminate having to do a download and upload Allow selecting which SUPs/TUPs to calculate. Aug 2017 Copyright 2017, ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

Copyright 2017, ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation Overview of Usage User can select units or prototypes from the tables. Calculations are performed. Results written back to the database. Aug 2017 Copyright 2017, ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

Copyright 2017, ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation Input Data (TUP/SUP) Tool calculates the basic load and then scales the reorder and stock object amounts. Aug 2017 Copyright 2017, ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

Calculations (TUP/SUP) Combat system issuance. Daily normal consumption. Daily combat consumption. Maximum daily movement consumption. Normal ammunition usage Attack ammunition usage Normal fuel consumption. Aug 2017 Copyright 2017, ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

Calculations (TUP/SUP) (cont.) Attack fuel consumption. Movement fuel consumption. One stock objective per day of combat for prototype owned SAM/AAA Make sure each prototype owned SSM has at least one weapon to fire. Aug 2017 Copyright 2017, ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

Calculations (TUP/SUP) After calculation is complete Basic Load and Bring to Theater are set to the calculated value. Reorder Level and Stockage Objective are set based on the user input scale factors. The wet and dry carry and storage is increased if needed to ensure sufficient capacity. Aug 2017 Copyright 2017, ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

Copyright 2017, ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation Use of Unit Data Although units do not hold their own consumption data, chain of support and Unit owned targets can effect consumption. When multiple selected Units have the same prototype, the first unit is used. The assumption is that units with the same prototype will be in a similar level in the supply chain and have similar targets. Aug 2017 Copyright 2017, ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

Copyright 2017, ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation Input Data (Units) Aug 2017 Copyright 2017, ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

Additional Unit Calculations One stock objective per day of combat for unit owned/associated SAM/AAA Associated unit if any has priority One stock objective per day of combat for unit owned/associated SSM Associated unit if any has priority. Aug 2017 Copyright 2017, ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

Additional Unit Calculations Home based squadron fuel. If Squadron has home base, the calculation is for the home base, otherwise for the Squadron. Full distance maximum sorties per day. Home base squadron weapon loads. Enough to support each load for the maximum sorties per day. Aug 2017 Copyright 2017, ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

Additional Unit Calculations Supported units supply requirements for the days of support. For initial support units, add the bring to theater amounts. Aug 2017 Copyright 2017, ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

DDS – Automatic Squadron Moves. When moving a FARP, Airbase, or Naval Unit all Squadrons are moved to the same location. Any existing offsets are lost. Aug 2017 Copyright 2017, ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

New Tech Tool Copy Features Jose M. Torres ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

Order Group And Map Slide Copy Tools Each copy utility is separated in its own tab of the Tech Tool Securely copy WHIP Order Groups and Map Slides over a network between scenarios Local host and remote host copying User interface allows simple gestures to perform copy Copy across single or multiple network file systems (NFS) Aug 2017 Copyright 2017, ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

Copyright 2017, ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation Under The Hood Remote copies performed via Secure Shelling (SSH) Secure Copy (SCP) and secure file transfer protocol (SFTP) must be enabled on hosts (usually enabled by default when SSH is available) Local copies performed via standard copy command to improve copy speed – no need for remote connection Aug 2017 Copyright 2017, ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

Copyright 2017, ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation User Interface The two new copy utilities have a similar user interface Reads local scenarios and displays Order Groups and Map Slides on Tech Tool start Connection credentials only required when connecting to a remote host Aug 2017 Copyright 2017, ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

Copyright 2017, ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation Executing Copy Copies executed via drag-n-drop gestures and via copy-n-paste keys Allows for single and multiple selection copy Can perform copies from left to right and right to left Tech Tool start scenario Drop-down list of available scenarios Aug 2017 Copyright 2017, ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

Copyright 2017, ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation Copy Features Order Group Copy Can copy Order Groups to any WHIP of the same side Copies only permitted for similar base scenarios with equivalent Force Sides Map Slide Copy Can perform copy to any scenario Slides have an associated side but they can be shared from the copied-to WHIP Synapse and WHIP restart required after copies complete when they are running during the copy Aug 2017 Copyright 2017, ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

Copyright 2017, ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation Copy Features Cont. Warning dialog provided when copying existing Order Groups or Map Slides Copying existing Order Groups or Map Slides will overwrite the existing files Aug 2017 Copyright 2017, ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

Copyright 2017, ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation Error Handling Credential fields turn red to indicate entry is missing on connection attempt Messages pane displays message warnings and errors Authentication failure during remote host connection Unknown host provided File does not exist And other warnings and errors encountered during copy Aug 2017 Copyright 2017, ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation
