CoABS Grid Military Users Group (GMUG) for the SWMU Tom Martin November 13, 2001 for LCDR Dylan Schmorrow CoABS Program Manager

THE COABS GRID COTS-based Software Infrastructure that –Facilitates interoperability of diverse, heterogeneous systems (Demoed FY00) –Enables dynamic connection of disparate information sources and C2 applications (tested in Navy experiments) –Provides dynamic discovery of service-based capabilities (coalition air campaign planning demo - DARPA/DERA) –Visit for further information Engagement Grid Networked Shooters Networked Sensors Sensor Grid C2 Grid Agents roam warfare grids From Concept To Product Control of Agent Based Systems

Sample of Military Grid Transitions Navy Warfare Development Command –In the lab (Spawar Systems Center Info Ops Center of Future), Expeditionary Sensor Grid (ESG) Enabling Experiments (EEE) –At sea (Fleet Battle Experiments - Delta through Juliet) Air Force Research Lab –Joint Battlespace Infosphere (yJBI implementation/fuselet project using Publish and Subscribe) –Effects Based Operations ATD (Grid used as architectural alternative) –Integrated Flight Management ATD (Use of Grid to approach various Air Mobility Command problems) Army CECOM –Maneuver Control System-light Grid agents –Agile Commander and Log C2 ATDs - Plan execution monitoring and course of action analysis, –Agile Commander and Log C2 ATDs – CHAIN (Composable Hierarchical Agents for Intelligent Notification), grid security, and other service enhancements –Dismounted Warrior C4I STO (Science and Technology Objective) – alerting on situational awareness

Grid Military Users Group CoABS about to enter its 5 th Year. Beginning of FY 02 started GMUG Purpose –Bring together the forward thinkers of the Military Services that are taking advantage of the CoABS Grid –Expose one-another to early adoption uses of CoABS Grid –Explore additional opportunities among the participant potential transition organizations (CECOM, NWDC/SPAWAR, and AFRL attending) –Explore potential for Quick and Dirty Joint Demonstration (Gen Myers briefing follow-up)

GMUG Progress/Plans Met first in May at GITI –Overview of activities of Navy, Air Force and Army Efforts using Grid –Call for Joint Demo –Agenda for ongoing GMUG Met again July 12 at SSC –Follow-up and Propose Joint Grid-based Integrated Targeting demonstration Next meeting (late Fall/Winter) will be based on Lessons Learned Potentially will combine with Semantic Web Military Users Group
