2. NON SENSITIVE RELEASABLE TO PUBLIC Agenda - What is NTF? - Why do we need NTF? - What has been done? - What is going on?

3. NON SENSITIVE RELEASABLE TO PUBLIC NATO Constructive Simulations Joint Theater Level Simulation (JTLS) is a joint highly aggregated constructive simulation system. Joint Conflict and Tactical Simulation (JCATS) is a joint high resolution constructive simulation system. Virtual Battle Space (VBS2) is a very high resolution constructive and virtual simulation system.

11. NON SENSITIVE RELEASABLE TO PUBLIC Why? - Multi-level exercises? - Multi-resolution exercises? - Distributed exercises? - MORE COST EFFECTIVE - Reusable, Interoperable, Tailorable and Dynamic - MORE CAPABLE - New capabilities (comprehensive, etc) - BETTER FITS THE CURRENT REQUIREMENTS - UAV, TBDM, Cyber, SOCC

12. NON SENSITIVE RELEASABLE TO PUBLIC MSG – 068 - NATO Education and Training Network It is the TG to support NATO Programme Snow Leopard, which aims to deliver to Alliance and Partners a persistent, distributed education and training capability that will comprise Distance learning Shared scenarios (common repository) A tool box that will ultimately contain a mix of live, virtual and constructive simulation.

13. NON SENSITIVE RELEASABLE TO PUBLIC MSG-068 has developed a reference federation agreement document. MSG-068 recommends a modular FOM including RPR2 for the NETN reference federation (HLA 1516-2010). MSG-068 recommends CFBLNet as the persistent network for the NETN. MSG 68 plans to conduct a distributed experiment between October 24 and November 5, 2010. MSG-68 plans to conduct a demo during I/ITSEC’10. MSG – 068 - NATO Education and Training Network

15. NON SENSITIVE RELEASABLE TO PUBLIC NTF CCB

16. NON SENSITIVE RELEASABLE TO PUBLIC Decisions in Charter Meeting - NTF is initially JTLS-JCATS-VBS2 - FLAMES is also in the initial configuration. However, it needs to be treated as a separate project (funding) to include into NTF. When that project is complete, that will also be maintained within NTF via NTF CCB. - NTF CCB is only responsible for the maintenance of the federation itself but not the other CAX tools and ancillary software in a CAX architecture. - HLA 1516-2010 is the technology for NTF. - NETN Reference Federation Architecture (FOM and Federation Agreement Specifications) will be followed - NETN Reference Federation Architecture needs to be improved such that it provides specifications also for the transfer of attribute ownership, improved combat adjudication, perception management and modular RPR2. - JLTS is the umbrella model in NTF.
