• Support joint and multinational training and
  exercises focused on commanders, staffs, and
  component forces, assist the CJCS, CINCs, and
  Service Chiefs in their preparation for joint and
  combined operations, and facilitate the
  conceptualization, development, and assessment of
  joint doctrine.

Distributed Architectures / Protocols

• Distributed Interface Simulation (DIS)
• Provides two-way UBP of PDUs for entity state,
  health, fires, and detonations
• Used as link with JCATS primarily by U.S. Army
  users
• TACSIM - Intel
• EADSIM - Air Defense
• FireSIM - Artillery
• Used to support exercises with players at
  different locations at same or different sites to
  include world-wide play
• Limited to only two aggregate levels by PDU
• Broadcast protocol can be a limiter
• Real-World C4I Interfaces
• JCATS linked through GEM using OTH-G message
  formats for GCCS, JMSIS, ADSI, and C2PC
• JCATS perceived, ground truth picture for any
  side translated to real-world picture, labels,
  movements
• JCATS OTH-G message link to MILES/GPS gear can
  provide adjudication of fires against
  virtual/live entities

13
Distributed Architectures / Protocols

• High Level Architecture (HLA)
• JCATS certified Apr 99 JCATS to JCATS only
• JTLS-JCATS HLA link has potential
• No users willing to fund extensive HLA links for
  FOM/SOM builds
• Chem-Bio VLSTrack Interfacing
• Sponsored by NSWC-JSIG Commodity Area Manager,
  the Joint C-B POC
• Provides link to Chem-Bio VLSTrack modules for
  computations
• Reduces demand on JCATS CPU that executes results
  only

Distributed Joint Training

• Allows more units to play from home station,
  thereby
• Reducing OPTEMPO/PERSTEMPO
• Reducing TAD/travel costs
• Increasing the likelihood that players will use
  their go-to-war systems
• Making participation more likely due to ease of
  participation
• Fuertes Defensas Example

Why Build JSIMS?

• Legacy systems will not support the next
  generation training requirements.Today, we pay a
  huge price in terms of time and resources
• Operations tempo and future missions require a
  valid, seamlessly integrated training simulation
• JSIMS is the right answer, and its success is
  dependent on all of us
• Future force readiness is tied directly to JSIMS

CINC US Joint Forces Command position as JSIMS
Advocate
33
MS Future Challenges

• Our biggest challenges we are working, and hope
  industry is too

• Multi-level architecture resolution
• Multiple levels of security
• Increased permanent network infrastructure
• Rapid database build
• Integrated w/ C4I systems (today and tomorrow)
• Improved individual and group behavior
  representation
• Course of action analysis mission rehearsal
