Use of M&S in Training • M&S provides one of many methods for delivering

learning content– Supports large training exercises and mission rehearsals– Primarily for collective (unit and staff) training– More limited use for individual (on-line) training– Learning content may be more effectively (and efficiently)

provided through other means

• Effective training with M&S requires distributed and interoperable models and simulations

• Some benefits for use of M&S in training – Safety– Home station with global access– Reuse of scenarios and vignettes – Effective venue for many theater operations

TC AoA Needs Analysis

Analysis Team identified 13 broad areas in which the Capabilities Base Case failed to fully meet training requirements

Gap Analysis • COCOMs and Services identified Joint Mission Essential Tasks

(JMETs)• Considered higher level guidance, e.g. QDR• Training requirements and capabilities provided by Joint Training

Review Group (JTRG)• Additional data gathered from COCOMs, Services and Agencies• Tiger team led by Joint Staff J7 expanded to a more detailed list of

35 items• The 35 gaps were listed in priority order to form basis for

effectiveness analysis

Look at grouping and new priorities for Gaps and identify the top targets for development

2. Adaptable constructive training systems

3. Ability to train nonkinetic processes and activities

4. Cross Domain Solutions

5. Multi-echelon training

6. Strategic context (Multi-national)

7. Emerging concepts (Irregular Warfare)

8. Emerging missions (Inter-agency)

9. Embedded training capability

10. Synthetic Natural Environment improvements

* Gaps from the TC AoA discussed in the TMSBP, 2007 Edition

2007 Survey Federations

• Eight Training Federations– Joint Warfighting Center (Joint Training Div)

• Joint Live Virtual Constructive (JLVC)

• Joint Multi-Resolution Model (JMRM)

– Army PEO for Simulation, Training, and Instrumentation• Multi Resolution Federation (Joint Land Component

Constructive Training Capability (JLCCTC - MRF))

• Entity Resolution Federation (JLCCTC - ERF)

– Navy Fleet Forces Command (Training Operations Division)• Battle Force Tactical Trainer (BFTT)

• Navy Continuous Training Environment Federation (NCTE)

– Marine Corps Training and Education Command • USMC Deployable Virtual Training Environment Federation

(DVTE)

– Air Force Agency for Modeling and Simulation• Air and space Constructive Environment (ACE)

10

Log Play in Training Federations

• Joint Live, Virtual, and Constructive Federation– Joint Deployment Logistics Model (JDLM)– JDLM is being enhanced to improve logistics play to include

Air and Space and Maritime forces

• Joint Land Component Constructive Training Capability (JLCCTC) both Multi-Resolution (MRF)and Entity Resolution (ERF) Federations– Joint Deployment Logistics Model/Logistics Federation

(JDLM/LOGFED)

• Air and Space Constructive Environment (ACE)– Logistics Simulation (LOGSIM)

11

2007 Investment Strategies

• Common object model (JCOM 08)• Rapid correlated terrain data (Common LVC Terrain Database 08)• Rapid scenario-based individual and small team training (JDA II 08)• Architectures for common data – initialization for

– Operational environments (LVCAR 06/08 & SEIS 07)– Logistics and infrastructure (JTBA 07)– Forces - unit and electronic order of battle– Mission environment – econ, diplomatic, political, and indigenous civilian

(TAUO 08)– Mission environment – medical, public health, and related

• Cross domain security and Multinational info sharing• Common general-purpose interface (Standards Vetting Tool 07)• Non-kinetic warfare including

– HUMINT (HUMINT Wargaming Trainer 07)– Information Ops – Network warfare – net centric environments– Electronic and information warfare

Closing Thoughts

• Enhancements are a continuous process - operational needs and technology are constantly evolving• Rapid changes in threat• M&S applications must be agile and adaptable

• M&S Training applications come in a wide range to fit needs• Operators (aircraft, nuclear subs, tanks)• Repair and Maintain (underwater welding, trucks)

• Logistics education and training can benefit from training community efforts• Problem solving methods/analysis (Ops Research)• Evolutionary processes to keep up to date

• Review details in TC AoA and TMSBP to build forward

M&S Recurring Themes

• Reuse (Share tools and data)– Add LVC environments– Develop new guidelines– Foster business case for building data repositories/registries

• Adaptable virtual and constructive training systems• Need for corporate standards and architectures • Reduce duplication, redundancy and proliferation

– Identify areas in need of consolidation and integration for reuse• Verification, Validation and Accreditation

– Establish authoritative sources for models and data – Foster business case for enterprise applications

• Strategic context (Inter-agency & Multi-national)– Cross-field coordination

• Emerging concepts (Irregular Warfare)– Identify high-priority operational areas– Address information operations and social networking

• Embedded training capability• Synthetic Natural Environment improvements
