2. Meeting the Warfighter’s Interoperability Requirements
Thank you General Rajczak, and thank you to all those responsible for assembling this MILCOM gathering. You have chosen a topic for this panel I consider very important.
In fact it mirrors my mission statement for PEO STRI - “To provide responsive Acquisition Life-cycle Management focusing on interoperable training, testing, and simulation solutions for the Warfighters and the nation.”

3. The Problem
We cannot afford the current vector for the future.
The Solution
Who really knows? The future keeps changing – BUT –
some things are clear…

4. The Past Very limited interoperability within and across domains
L - MILES
V - CCTT
C - JTC, ALSP
STOW - E, STOW - A

5. (IHITS, CCTT, AVCATT, JCATS)
The Present
Some isolated improvements - Persistence
L - IHITS, MILES
V - CCTT
C - JLCCTC (Multi-service)
ERF, MRF-C, MRF-W
Korea
(IHITS, CCTT, AVCATT, JCATS)

6. The Present – Interoperability Matrix

Both simulations have Requirement to interoperate and work is in progress
Both simulations have Requirement but no work has been done yet
Both simulations have Requirement to interoperate and they are currently fully interoperable
Only 1 of the simulations has reported Requirement to interoperate

7. Standards and Protocols
The Future
High value interoperability targets
Plans
L - CTIA – TENA
V - SE Core
C - JLCCTC - MRF-W
Standards and Protocols
JNTC
JAAR
Automated behaviors
Tools
Reduced number of models
Reduced number of components (AARs, C4 Adapter, translators,
gateways)
Faster set up
Timely modifications
Better Soldier acceptance
Reduced “tie guys” – it takes an army to
train a few
Leads to

8. How We Get There Internal analysis (matrix)
I2AB – Highly persistent capability hardened over time
Highly leveraged investments
System and non-system oversight
Collaboration with JFCOM and JWFC
Test and Training interaction
Common APIs, DIFs, & Protocols
DIS, HLA
Common Components
C4I Adapter, SNE, AAR, Scenario Generation
Architectures
CTIA, VSA, OneSAF
Gunnery Trainers, Staff Trainers, Virtual Trainers
Interoperable Applications
