9779PT0028 – 31/07/ 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

9779PT0028 – 31/07/ 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

9779PT0028 – 31/07/ CoA/CROP Comparison Using COMPAS

9779PT0028 – 31/07/ Historical Mouvements Using COMPAS

9779PT0028 – 31/07/ 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)

9779PT0028 – 31/07/ 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
