JTLS 5.0 Issues Link To NWARS Improve Initial Imagery Reports (IIRs) Non-Breathing Assets Tactical Ground Formation Attack Not Working Convoy Issues Barge Transporting Unit Not Handled Properly Destroyed While Transporting Unit Not Handled Properly. Train arriving At Destroyed Node Not Handled Properly. ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation March 2017
JTLS 5.0 Issues Air Mission & Convoy Simultaneously Move Unit Strategic Airlift For Real-Life TPFDD Movement Multi-Point Group Move Not Handled Properly Single Point Move – Working As Designed Need To Understand The Issue With Multi-Point Move ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation March 2017
Single Point Group Move Start Location Lead Unit Holds Move Task When Move Task Starts: Model computes offset from lead unit for each other unit Each unit gets an independent move Each Unit moves on its own to get the the proper location End Location ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation March 2017
Multi Point Group Move Multi-Points Converted To Individual Group Moves First Move Starts – Offsets Computed Start Location First Move Complete – Rest Of Group Not Complete Second Move Starts – Offsets Computed End Location ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation March 2017
Multi Point Group Move We Don’t Like Either Solution Don’t Start Next Move Until All Units Finish Move Non-Leader Units Don’t Need To Know About Interim Move Points ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation March 2017

Remove Combat System Prototype What Does This Do For JTLS-GO The Link Between CSP and FLPs Go Away Causes Problems With Attrition Type Give Units Exactly What Combat Systems They Have Makes Repository Easier To Implement Allows User To Reduce Size Of Their Scenarios ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation March 2017
Expanded UAV From Any Unit Any Unit Can Have Aircraft Combat Systems UT AIRCRAFT TYPE Must Not Need Runway Missions Fly As Normal Consider Swarming ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation March 2017
Aircraft Control Linkage Range Primarily Desired For UAV Types Of UAV Line Of Site Radio Communication Satellite Communication No Extensive Communication Representation Is This Okay – No Aircraft Control Of UAV No Interdiction Of Communication Representation ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation March 2017

Laser Technology Laser Weapon Systems (LWS) Major Issue . They Are Simply Weapons – With Kill Capability Major Issue Current Systems Have Surface–to–Surface Kill Capability Surace-to-Air Kill Capability Which Method To Use Allow SSM Targets To Fire At Air Missions Allow SAM Targets To Fire On Surface Assets . ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation March 2017
Laser Technology Allow SAMs To Fire At Surface Weapons It Can Fire AD TARGETABLE WEAPON AD ADVANCED TARGETABLE WEAPON Targetable Weapon TW SURFACE KILL LETHALITY If Set Air Defense Target Can Fire Using SSM Rules TW SURFACE AIR LETHALITY Must Be Set – SVP Check ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation March 2017
