ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation JMRM Version 1.1 Released In July 2008 Principal Federates: JTLS Version 3.3.3 JCATS Version 8.0.5 First Use By NATO Exercise SFJR08 Steadfast Joiner 08 October 31 – November 14, 2008 U.S. Stopped Program Immediately After March 2014 ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation Exercise Statistics Aggregate Level Scenario: 4000 units Entity Level: 70,000 combat systems Exercise Duration: 8 days Federation availability: 98 % of duration Air tasking for civilian and military missions JCATS vignettes for joint personnel Recovery Task (1 per day) Time sensitive targeting (1-2 per day) March 2014 ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation Exercise Conclusions JMRM / NTF Works Good Reliability Supported Desired Training JMRM / NTF Is Useful??? Hard to Say – Catch-22 Scenario Selected Because Impossible To Test Under Exercise Conditions If It Doesn’t Work – Training Objectives Must Be Met Can’t Prove It Was Useful March 2014 ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation Lessons Learned Database Preparation Make As Easy As Possible Test Game Invaluable Advanced order testing was used often Practice Recovery Procedures Don’t Count On Procedural Fix To Problems Procedures Are Easy To Forget / Ignore / Teach Implement Code Protections March 2014 ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation Lessons Learned Don’t Create Non-Standard Procedures Too Easy To Forget / Enable Errors SDC Legacy Issues March 2014 ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation GlobalSim Version 0 Client Country Interested In Multi-Resolution Federation Principal Federates: JTLS GEfechts (Warfare) SImulation (GESI) MUSE/AFSERS Goal: Return To Original JMRM Capabilities Biggest Problem – Entity Location Inconsistency March 2014 ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation Basic Concept JTLS Representation Covers theater area of operations Includes all relevant actors Requires time/distance coordination at theater level GESI Representation multiple interest areas polygonal may be geographically separate March 2014 ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

GlobalSim Architecture ELS EODA JHIP HLA – RTI GESI Bridge FMT-R JTLS WHIP workstations JTLS WEB Services: JXSR XMS OMA SYNAPSE MDP Apache Server GESI GESI Player Clients CEP JODA PACER Timing Federates: (minimum 1 required) JTLS and GESI Communicate via HLA Clients: JHIP and GESI Bridge March 2014 ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation WHAT is the ELS? JTLS component program which disaggregates ARUs into the representative combat system entities Entities available over the entire game board, individually selected in DDS, or filtered by Command Hierarchy Purpose of the ELS: provide a consistent representation of individual combat systems March 2014 ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation Current Capabilities Transferable Objects Ground Unit Squadron, Airbase, Support, FARP, and Ground Combat Units High Resolution Units (HRU) Air Mission Non-Transferable Objects Naval Units Convoys – Reflected Only March 2014 ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation Current Capabilities Transfer Negotiated Do you want the object? Yes I do! Here it is! Thank you! March 2014 ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation Current Capabilities Damage Types Represented Air-to-Air Surface-to-Air Air-to-Ground Surface-to-Surface Inflict and Reflect Damage in both models Cross-model damage through interactions Force-on-Force not represented March 2014 ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation Database Preparation Correlation of data is critical to GlobalSim No Work Has Been Accomplished Yet March 2014 ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation Limitations Federation Requires Specific Model Versions New Units During Game Play Not Available Dynamic HRUs Detachments Attachments Cross-attachments Transfer of Naval Units Not Fully Functional Representation Of Personnel March 2014 ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

Advantages to GlobalSim Training at Theater and Tactical Levels Overlapping Regions Increases Tactical Awareness Within Theater Commercially Available Federates Makes Federation Feasible Direct Link To MUSE Supported Shadow Federations Easily Utilized March 2014 ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation
