5. OUR RECOMMENDATIONS Proposition of needs to make changes in JTLS-GO:
1. Detach of unit with targets;
2. Possibility to modify TUP in a game by a JTLS operator (just as HUP);
3. Possibility to generate a unit logistic report with information about its targets and the type of aircrafts;
4. Add new HRU possibilities:
- to create JTLS operator authority for HRUs (like as ARU);
- ability to change HRU subordination for other HQ;
- HRU as HQ (for follows HRUs);
- to create new tasks (ability to search and fight with enemy HRU).

6. FUTURE PLANS
Preparation JTLS-GO v. 5.0.xx to exercises;
Conduct exercises with transferring JTLS data to others systems and applications ;
Keep working on JTLS integration with Polish AF C2 systems (JASMIN and SZAFRAN/FENIKS);
Conduct JTLS operators courses;
Cooperate with modeling & simulation communities and organizations.

7. Polish team experience.
JTLS 5.0 implementation.

9. Polish area of interest

10. First step terrain grids up to 5 min

11. The first problem – road network in „master database”

12. Roads in Warsaw (capital of Poland)

13. „Real” roads in Warsaw

14. Roads network in Poland (imported from VPF Level 1)

15. Roads network after pasting into master database

16. Roads network in JTLS GIS Tool

17. Warsaw in JTLS GIS Tool

18. Roads network in DDS

19. Warsaw in DDS with CADRG map

20. Rivers network in „master database”

21. Rivers in Poland (OSM)
3198 objects

22. Rivers in Poland (after „Preprocessing”)
objects

23. Rivers in Poland - errors
River „Wisla”
SHP file
Network after „Preprocessing”
River „WEO_2843”?
Attributes were imported with errors

24. Rivers in Poland - errors

25. Problem with amount of data
Translation from GIS format (SHP, polyline) to JTLS network generates a lot of data. One object like river or road is converted to a large number of arcs and nodes. In Poland there are about 350 thousand roads arches and the same number of nodes.
Huge amount of data causes unacceptable slowdown or system crash.
Perhaps the cause of the problem is the adopted weak data model? A typically academic network model.

26. Problem with amount of data
Solution?
Each mobile phone has car navigation with a large database of roads and can manage them. It proves that this is a problem of the adopted data model.

27. Attribiuts in databases - roads
„Master database” ?
Roads network

28. Attribiuts in databases - rivers
„Master database” ?
Rivers network

29. Direction of the road is correct, but the road itself is very long.

30. … in version 5.1.3? … ? ...
