Introduction
- There is a strong need within the DoD to develop
interoperable environments which link combat
simulations to Command, Control, and Intelligence
(C2I) systems - Operator/Staff training
- TE of C2I systems and networks
- Analysis of military tactics
- In the past, such environments were typically
point solutions, with little reuse possible - The HLA offers techniques and mechanisms which
facilitate reuse and interoperability in hybrid
simulation/C2I system environments - Experiments/pathfinders are needed which
demonstrate the utility of the HLA in linking
combat simulations to C2I systems
3
Project Purpose
- Demonstrate the utility and feasibility of
linking Maritime DII COE-based C2I systems with
Naval simulations in an HLA federation - Simulation(s) provide Common Tactical Picture
(CTP) stimulus for C2I systems - C2I systems can interject actions/decisions/orders
based on CTP, which the simulation(s) react to
and reflect in a dynamically changing CTP - Facilitates meaningful training for C2I system
users
4
Specific Project Objectives
- Demonstrate a working HLA federation which
includes a C2I system (GCCS-M) and a simulation
(NSS) - Demonstrate that NSS can generate the dynamic CTP
needed to stimulate GCCS-M, and can react
realistically to C2I system user commands - Demonstrate that GCCS-M can accept and display
CTP data from NSS, and can issue user commands
based on that data - Develop a reusable FOM subset for future
federations which include DII COE systems and
simulations - Exercise the FEDEP in a C2I system user training
context

Federates
- Global Command and Control System - Maritime
(GCCS-M) - Highest level Naval command and control system
- Provides a wide variety of tactical decision
support, information management, and display
applications - Operational on most surface combatants and
command centers throughout the Navy - DII COE compliant
- Naval Simulation System (NSS)
- Monte Carlo simulation system of Naval/Joint
operations - Supports fleet exercises and C4ISR analyses
- Capable of representing space, air, sea, and land
forces - Supports varying levels of user selectable
resolution - Can be used as a Tactical Decision Aid (TDA) for
Course-of- Action (COA) assessments - Will undergo DII COE compliance testing in FY00

Program Plan
- Phase 1 Following the FEDEP, establish
federation and demonstrate basic functionality - Define target scenario
- Develop initial FOM based on GCCS-M data
requirements for track data - Demonstrate that NSS can generate and send track
data to GCCS-M according to FOM - Demonstrate that GCCS-M can accept and display
track data from NSS according to FOM - Demonstrate that GCCS-M can send PIM Track
interactions to NSS, and that NSS can receive
them

Phase I Accomplishments
- Federation Scenario Defined
- Based on prior SWATS study
- Conceptual Model reflected in scenario
Define Federation Objectives 1
- Integration testing (May 10-14)
- Verified that the fedexec was created, and
federates joined - Verified accuracy of FOM data exchanges
- Verified that track data was displayed properly
- Developed plan for Phase II activities
Develop Federation Conceptual Model 2
Design and Develop Federation 3
- Kickoff Meeting held March 3
- Convened Federation Development Team
- Reviewed project requirements and and objectives
- Developed initial project plan
- Telecons scheduled for general coordination
Integrate and Test Federation 4
Execute Federation and Prepare Results 5
- Initial FOM developed
- H/W and S/W issues resolved
- Federate testing completed
- Integration Test Plan completed (Phase 1)
- NSS H/W and S/W installed at NRL

NSS Interface Design
- HLA Integration Framework
- Middleware layer which insulates simulation code
from RTI-specific code - Facilitates HLA-related tasks that the simulation
must perform - Automates sending of attribute value updates
- Maintains all class and object instance
identifiers - Performs all necessary data formatting/translation
- Allows the simulation to be run in either a
stand-alone or federation mode - GCCS-M is used as a surrogate for an existing
commander representation within NSS - NSS commander object that performs data fusion
instead hands off simulated perception data to
GCCS-M - Operator commands from GCCS-M are handed off to
NSS commander object, which then responds as if
the orders were generated internal to the
simulation

Next Steps
- Phase II
- Mid-May through late-September
- Implement/demonstrate training scenario
- Variable execution speeds
- Implement additional GCCS-M actions/commands
- Screen Kilo repositioning
- Whiskey repositioning
- Phase III
- Early October through late-December
- Generate multiple commander perspectives
simultaneously using DDM services (tentative) - Utilize additional GCCS-M mission applications
(tentative) - Waterspace Management
- Tactical Warning Segment
