R&A Trying To Leverage This Focus Toward JTLS-GO
These “themes” were included in GEN Petr Pvel, Czech Republic, Chief of General Staff, at presentation at ITEC 15
AFAMS and JS J7 JCW have on-going studies to determine just how far the JTLS capabilities extend to support the AF, Joint Staff and various DOD and NGO agencies.
The potential for using JTLS for budget analysis is on the horizon. Some users have done this. AFJ is recommended reading.
R&A has been in numerous discussions concerning the capabilities built in to JTLS for a variety of analyses. We will be happy to discuss this potential and budget based wargaming.
Federations continue to pervade the JTLS world. Fortunately the JTLS APIs that are readily available are very amenable to a variety of potential federates.
