Migrate To Java 11 Java 8 Expected Life Cycle – End Support January 2019 for Oracle (commercial) This is why we moved to OpenJDK At least September 2023 for AdoptOpenJDK We Now Need To Plan For Upgrade Major Effort ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation September 2019

Migrate To Java 11 JTLS User Interface Currently Uses Swing Library For All Graphical User Interface (GUI) Swing Library Is Not Supported in Java 11 Means All JTLS GUI Processes Need To Transition JavaMenu ICP WHIP / DDSC ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation September 2019

Migrate To Java 11 Java 11 Does Not Support JNLP Files We Use JNLP Files and Java Web Start (IcedTea) To Distribute WHIP and DDSC To Client Machines This Is A Huge Issue Bottom Line: This Is The Next Major O&M Task ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation September 2019

UAV Swarms More Important Capability Do We Need To Represent? How To Represent Can’t Represent each “UAV” Insect Need To Represent Swarm At Single Object Impact Of The Capability Worried About Keeping Classification As Data ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation September 2019

Space Command Support JS/J7 Is Looking Into New US Space Command What Will Be The Command’s Charter? What Training Needs Will The Command Have? What, If Anything, Will JTLS Need To Support? Space-to-Space Kinetics Ground-to-Space Kinetics Air-to-Space Kinetics Space-to-Ground Kinetics Space-to-Air Kinetics ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation September 2019

Force Management Service Interface (ORION) ORION Is New Database Available To US DoD ORION provides a single source of information (via data aggregation and connectivity to more than 26 authoritative data sources). ORION provides a common operational view of forces in motion, unit-level attributes to inform decision making, and capabilities to perform Course of Action (COA) analysis in real time. ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation September 2019

Force Management Service Interface (ORION) JS/J7 Interested In Developing Automated Connectivity To Orion Issues With Concept U.S. Only Access U.S. Only Forces Coalition Partner / OPFOR Information Not Available Current Force Structure Future Plan and Future Analysis – Partial Use ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation September 2019

Rapid Database Development Tools Along With Orion Continue To Expand Tools This Briefs Well Easier Said Than Done – Programatically Requires User To Create Good Baseline Modify From There ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation September 2019

Rapid Database Development Tools Current Plans Include Automated Tool To: Import MIDB Target Data This Has Been Started – May Be Delivered With JTLS 6.0 Import Basic Encyclopedia (BE) Facility Data This Has Been Started – If Target’s Delivered – This Will Be Import Joint Desired Point of Impact (JDPI) Data Started Investigation Of Data Format Information Availability ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation September 2019

Link To ACE-IOS Recently JS/J7 Stop Support For Joint Training USMTF Message System (JTUMS) Took JTLS USMTF Messages Allowed Response Cell To Edit Content Without Obstructing USMTF Message Format Currently There Is Nothing To Replace It ACE-IOS Is Primary Intel Model For JLVC Project Is Tasked To Replace JTUMS Capability ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation September 2019

Link To ACE-IOS JTLS Has Linked To ACE-IOS Before ACE-IOS Team Was Not Interested In Cooperation ACE-IOS Was Supposed To Create BDA Intel Messages For JTLS Our Design Called For JTLS Computing Damage Passing Damage Information To ACE-IOS ACE-IOS Generating Appropriate BDA Messages ACE-IOS Was All Or Nothing ACE-IOS Computed Damage, And Generate BDA Messages Problem: ACE-IOS Has No Concept Of JTLS Damage Requirements ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation September 2019

Link To ACE-IOS Past Performance Is No Indication Of Future We Are Open To Determining How This Will Work Currently No Information Concerning: ACE-IOS Design For JTUMS Replacement Will Message Editing Be Available As Outside Service Will Message Editing Be Limited To Intel Messages Will JTLS Just Be Still Generate Basic Intel Messages Submit For Editing What Type Of Overhead Exists For This Solution ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation September 2019

WHIP Modernization To HTML5 Has Been On JS/J7’s List For Several Years Information Assurance (IA) Idea / No Download Solves IA Problems Tends To Greatly Reduce WHIP Capability Speed Flexibility Still An Investigation Project Is Desired ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation September 2019

Summary Obvious Majority Of Current JTLS 6.1 ECPs US Only Usefulness Nothing Wrong With This They ARE US Joint Staff / J7 Not Many Model Capability Improvements R&A Plans To Continue Model Capability ECPs Need Input From Users Need To Remember Operational Level Detail ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation September 2019
