COP Capture M&S Service  Select Tracks of Interest (Forces, Platforms, Track Types, etc).  Select geographic location (lat/long and circumference area).  Extract data from TMS.  Set DTG.  Provide to an Application as: Simulated Tracks Objects (TMS-4 objects). Message Objects (OTH Gold, RPR, DIS). Purpose: capture real world tracks and provide them to an application for initialization & time projections.

C4I-M&S Host Application.  Standard ESI M&S Application architecture.  Provides C4I functions tailored for M&S Application: -Situation Assessment- Visualization -COA Analysis- Operation analysis -Planning- Information Processing  Readily hosts other relevant NBC simulations.  Models & Simulations can be developed by non-C4I experts.  Composible, from:  C4I M&S services  To aggregate Host Application frameworks for use type  Reuse of components from other Mission Applications.

C4I M&S Host Application: Definition  Aggregates a set of COE and ESI M&S services relevant to a particular C4I Mission. (e.g., WMD Defense)  Hosts 1 or more simulations or processes that perform specific Mission analysis. (e.g., Down Wind Hazard Assessment, Urban Contamination Analysis, lethality etc.)  Readily modifiable to host additional simulations of the same category. (e.g., NBC Sensor Fusion, Strike Planning) A C4I (e.g., GCCS, GCCS/M) application shell that:
