Outline

• DMO Introduction

• Virtual Flag – Planning/Execution– Synthetic Battlespace– Live, Virtual, Constructive Integration– Distributed Environment

• Summary


DMO Concept

• Link remote live and simulation assets in cyber-space

• Team, inter-team, and large force training

• Real-time play – virtual reality

• CAF-DMO – small scale; high frequency

• Virtual Flags – large scale; low frequency

• Configurability

• Repeatability

DMOC

Two DMO “Prime Directives”

DMOC Sight Picture


Virtual Flag Exercise

• Quarterly event• Theater-wide operations • Tactical training• Sensor-to-shooter kill chain (C2ISR)• Command and control• 4-hour time slices during a conflict• Plan-Brief-Execute-Debrief cycle• Joint and coalition participation


• Event Planning Conferences– Warfighter-driven

– Training objectives and requirements

– Training assets allocation

• Scenarios– Custom scenarios to fulfill requirements

– Stride towards composability

Virtual Flag Planning


Synthetic Battlespace• Virtual Battlespace

– Can replicate any real-life location– Can create hypothetical conflicts

• Synthetic environment key features – Highly distributed in nature– Seamless integration of live, virtual, and constructive

(LVC) assets

• Evolutionary rather than revolutionary• Joint Participation

– U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines– Coalition participation

• U.K., Canada


Live Integration

• Combat Air Operations Center (CAOC)

• Operations Modules (Control and Reporting Center)

• Joint Services Work Station (JSWS)

• Patriot ICC and ECS

• Air Defense System Integrator (ADSI)

• U.S. Navy Ships

• Data Links– e.g., Link 16, NATO EX


Virtual Integration• Command and Control/Sensor

– E-3A - AWACS – E-8A - Joint STARS (VSTARS)– RC-135 – Cobra Ball– RC-135V/W - Rivet Joint – EP-3 - ORION

• Shooter– F-15C/E, F-16– B-52, B-1B, B-2

• Other – C-17, C-130, Helicopters, SOF


Constructive Integration

• Scenario Toolkit And Generator Environment (STAGE)

• Joint Conflict and Tactical Simulator (JCATS)

• Next Generation Threat Simulation (NGTS)• Extended Air Defense TestBed (EADTB) • Distributed Information Warfare

Constructive Environment (DICE)• Extended Air Defense Simulation

(EADSIM)

• US Navy – Distributed Mission Training (DMT)

• United Kingdom – Mission Training through Distributed

Simulation (MTDS)

• NATO – Exercise First Wave (EFW)

USAF DMO – First Step


Summary

• Distributed Missions Operations– Distributed training– Integrate Live, Virtual, and Constructive assets

• Virtual Flag Distributed Training Events– Theater/Tactical-level operations– Joint services and coalition training– DoD Award for best modeling and simulation

training program – 2001 and 2004


QUESTIONSQUESTIONS


• DIS Filter– Network-based data filtering– User configurable gateway– Filter criteria are applied to data as they are read

(minimal latency)• Exercise Identification (ID)• PDU Type (Entity State; Fire; Detonation; Signal; Start/Stop;

etc.)• Allow/Deny by Site/App/Entity and DIS Enumeration

– Interactions (Fire/Detonation/etc. PDU) from denied entities are also denied

M&S Tools – DIS Filter


DIS Filter


• TACCSF Software Router– GNU/Linux platform

• Deployability• Remote operation• Low cost

– Data metering and buffering• Maximum packets per second• Maximum bytes per second• Packet priority

– Universal UDP/IP protocol converter
