-UNCLASSIFIED- Missile Defense Exercise Planning Presented By: Mr. Ohad Elbahar Israel Missile Defense Organization May First Annual Israel Multinational Ballistic Missile Defense Conference

-UNCLASSIFIED- Mr. Ohad Elbahar: B.Sc. In Engineering from the TECHNION Israel Institute of Technology. MBA from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. Served as an officer in the IAF Test Range to conduct the Arrow Flight Tests. Served as an officer in the Israeli Missile Defense Organization (IMDO). Active consultant at IMDO for Interoperability. About the Speaker

-UNCLASSIFIED- Exercises of missile defense can easily become very complicated. Defining the proper Training Audience, the proper Trainer, the proper systems etc. is very difficult. Building the exercise infrastructure, the simulation systems, the Intel for the exercise etc. is a real art. Getting most of the exercise in an organized After Action Review (AAR). Abstract

-UNCLASSIFIED- The Command Structure is defined Each officer/unit knows who is his commander and who he is commanding Introduction and basic assumption

-UNCLASSIFIED- The Decision Making Process is defined Who is making what decision, when, with what data and who is providing data. Introduction and basic assumption TIME VECTOR

-UNCLASSIFIED- The System Architecture and Connectivity are defined Each system/officer knows how and who to connect and communicate to. Introduction and basic assumption

-UNCLASSIFIED- How to build the exercise environment? Command Structure How to build the exercise environment? Command Structure Deciding who are the exercise players : Systems, commands, Headquarters etc. Deciding who is simulated? Some Friendly (Not all systems are playing) External – Public pressure, politics,

-UNCLASSIFIED- SIM How to build the exercise environment? Command Structure How to build the exercise environment? Command Structure Deciding what events to exercise: Missile attacks, Intel, Logistic, Medicine etc. Building the Exercise Control Group (ECG): All Simulated participants Red envelops of events Events are handled by the operational Command Structure. Documentation and data capture Subjects to Exercise: How the Command structure behaves? Information flow between Training audience Force efficiency utilization. etc. Dilemmas: What events to exercise What units and forces to include What is the Intel and threats to include in the events Etc.

-UNCLASSIFIED- TD Exercise Driver TD How to build the exercise environment? Weapon Systems How to build the exercise environment? Weapon Systems Deciding what events to exercise: Missile attacks. Building the White Cell Exercise Driver. Handle by the operational system (and TD). Documentation and data capture Objectives of Simulation: Operators training CONOPS and TTP Communication systems and architecture Force efficiency utilization. etc. Dilemmas: What simulation to use? Exercise Intel Integration of simulation What ifs? Etc.

-UNCLASSIFIED- Two Analysis teams work during the exercise: Operational Team. Exercise Team. The operational team work with operational data to derive operational decision making. The exercise team have all the data (God’s view) and is examining the operation activities for later AAR. On a schedule exercise break, the two teams meet to exchange insights and lessons learned to improve the exercise Data Analysis and AAR

-UNCLASSIFIED- Not all exercise issues can be discussed here: Benefit of real deployment of assets Vs. centralized exercise. Exercise together with real life. Operational Real assets in the exercise need real life handling. Applying lessons learned. Summary
