JWC Optimization

CAX Branch , Scenario Production , Geo Production , Mel Mil is now under the same umbrella.

Mel Mil (MSEL) is now becoming “professional” positions in JWC

MEL MIL – CAX – SCENARIO are domains naturally linked . Now this is reflected in the Organization

JWC IT Infrastructure

JTLS has been virtualized since 2009

In 2011 All JWC IT environment has been Virtualized including C2 .Users has only Thin Clients on their desks

5 JTLS games instances are running simultaneously and managed by Tech control (1 R&A and 1 NATO) during an Exercise :

• Main • Test • Shadow • Ato• Run Ahead /Wargame

Last 11 Months ActivitiesTRJR14

2 Different TA’s Playing simultaneously in 2 Different adjacent JOA’s.

Challenges : Airspace control , cross interaction / detection of units.

TRJE14 (scenario : NATO Territory)

Article V – Very Heavy Air/Targeting operations- Challenges in how TA was planning the use of Stand-off

weapons and COMAO’s (Orbiting , On alert , Splitting A/C etc)TBMD (JTLS has stimulated NATO TBMD C2 System via L16)Space Operations – JSATOPFOR Building a proper ATO . 2 Sides Air C2 stimulated , 2 RAP

TRLE14 – LAND CENTRIC in NATO Territory (TRJE14 follow on)

•3 CORES 15 BDE’S•TROOPS moving on FROZEN Sea•~ 900 sorties with No Air component and no ATO•JTLS running in Stavanger & Whips Deployed to GR & TU (15 Operators remotely)

•4 Land C2 systems involved (2 national 2 Nato’s)• Every C2 was stimulated with their own perceived picture using

Ownsitrep from JTLS.• C2 couldn t handle the full Orbat in a single message . We had

Specific Whips generating Land Messages for Sub Branches of the Orbat.• Every Cores was responsible to generate the RGP and send it to

Joint level in order to generate the Common Join t Land Pic

TRJL15 MARITIME CENTRIC• Intense and realistic RMP requirements• AIS (automatic Identif System) feed required

To Role play AIS feed , JTLS was sending every hour a FULL update of the white Shipping Orbat to a separate MCC C2 BOX

TRJR15

2 Training Audiences (2 different DB’s) with 1 Week in betweenHybrid Warfare (combining kinetic operations with subversive efforts)

Last 11 Months Cont

Last 11 Months Cont WargamingPlanning:

To support scenario in providing a consistent picture to TA after Ph2b (Crisis response planning)

To have a more realistic picture in terms of figures ,casualties,timing to help Scenario writing the “Road to Crisis ” and “why” NATO is involved in a specific operation.

Execution: To Support Opfor in forecasting their Plan , check / evaluate the effects on the TA of the planned Incidents or any dynamic scripting .

• TRJE15 High Visibility NATO Exercise (CAX+LIVEX) . • CANADA will join from remote (combined NATO + National EX)

– Canada will have some national forces contributing to the operation.– Canada will Run an Exercise (National ) inside the NATO Exercsie

• 24 / 7 Exercise • SIM deployed Overseas and in Spain• SPACE OPS (Needs to Play Space effects i.e Solar Flares)• New RC’s :

– Civilian Air (Italian National Air Traff Control is joining).– Intel Cell to support TA with Reporting coming from JTLS

• Heavy JISR’s Gameplay with Live UAV Sim Streaming . • Civilian White Shipping Feed required (AIS / Live feed etc etc)

Upcoming Exercise

Ex upcoming requirements:• J – ISR capabilities

- Intel Cell , Reporting

• Hybrid Warfare (Already started with new scenario's) military strategy that blends conventional warfare , irregular warfare and cyber warfare , by combining kinetic operations with subversive efforts.

• Cyber effects– Already played using JTLS

• Human Behavior Modeling – JWC is looking into some solutions to possibly integrate in JTLS

gameplay.

JWC ROADMAP to 5.0

• Initially planned for next Oct Ex– LOGFAS Interface (Initialization) + several ECP’s

would have improved RC operations • DB developed already• Maps 70% built

• Will be used for an internal NATO Project in Nov

• We are considering to use it in Jan For JET 16• Definitely for JR16 (March/Apr)

CAX Environment needs to be as simplier as possible Scenarios Size and Exercises themselves are by default already complicated enough (Gravity Points)

CAX Environment has to be easily reproducible after the exercise with minimum manpower and resources

CAX Environment has to be easily manageable , deployable with minimum manpower and resources (1 , 2 people to handle it)

Minimize the possibility that required Architecture updates , can prevent a new model version to be used for an event.

Ex Requirements Change drastically and dynamically several time per year .Without a manageble system , with such a evolving environment is very easy to end up with useless , counter productive solutions.
