12. 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.

13. 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:

The ESI Program Products  An established Embedded Simulation Architecture used in C4I Application designs:  WMDA Mission Application  C4I Team Training System  GCCS/GCSS/I3 Embedded (operator level) Training  Reconstruction Segment  LATR/C4I  M&S DII COE SDK FY03  Initial Host Application Functionality  WMD  Training

17. The ESI and XMSF  New capability in C4I, harmonize now with emerging M&S architectures  XML already used for new M&S specific data for ESI services  Composible Architecture fits well with XMSF paradigm  Requires well defined models and data  Scales well from embedded to distributed between C4I and M&S systems.
