JMRM Version 1.1

• Released In July 2008• Principal Federates:

– JTLS Version 3.3.3– JCATS Version 8.0.5

• First Use By NATO Exercise SFJR08– Steadfast Joiner 08– October 31 – November 14, 2008

• U.S. Stopped Program Immediately After

Exercise Statistics

• Aggregate Level Scenario: 4000 units• Entity Level: 70,000 combat systems• Exercise Duration: 8 days• Federation availability: 98 % of duration• Air tasking for civilian and military missions• JCATS vignettes for joint personnel

– Recovery Task (1 per day)– Time sensitive targeting (1-2 per day)



March 2014

Exercise Conclusions

• JMRM / NTF Works– Good Reliability– Supported Desired Training

• JMRM / NTF Is Useful???– Hard to Say – Catch-22– Scenario Selected Because

• Impossible To Test Under Exercise Conditions• If It Doesn’t Work – Training Objectives Must Be Met• Can’t Prove It Was Useful



March 2014

Lessons Learned

• Database Preparation– Make As Easy As Possible

• Test Game Invaluable– Advanced order testing was used often

• Practice Recovery Procedures• Don’t Count On Procedural Fix To Problems

– Procedures Are Easy To Forget / Ignore / Teach– Implement Code Protections



March 2014

Lessons Learned

• Don’t Create Non-Standard Procedures– Too Easy To Forget / Enable Errors– SDC Legacy Issues



March 2014

GlobalSim Version 0

• Client Country Interested In– Multi-Resolution Federation

• Principal Federates:– JTLS– GEfechts (Warfare) SImulation (GESI)– MUSE/AFSERS

• Goal: Return To Original JMRM Capabilities– Biggest Problem – Entity Location Inconsistency



March 2014

Basic Concept

JTLS Representation• Covers theater area of operations• Includes all relevant actors• Requires time/distance coordination at theater level

GESI Representation• multiple interest areas• polygonal• may be geographically

separate

WHAT is the ELS?

• JTLS component program which disaggregates ARUs into the representative combat system entities

• Entities available over the entire game board, individually selected in DDS, or filtered by Command Hierarchy

• Purpose of the ELS: provide a consistent representation of individual combat systems



March 2014

Current Capabilities

• Transferable Objects– Ground Unit

• Squadron, Airbase, Support, FARP, and Ground Combat Units

– High Resolution Units (HRU)– Air Mission

• Non-Transferable Objects– Naval Units– Convoys – Reflected Only



March 2014


• Transfer Negotiated– Do you want the object?– Yes I do!– Here it is!– Thank you!



March 2014


• Damage– Types Represented

• Air-to-Air• Surface-to-Air• Air-to-Ground• Surface-to-Surface

– Inflict and Reflect Damage in both models– Cross-model damage through interactions

• Force-on-Force not represented



March 2014

Database Preparation

• Correlation of data is critical to GlobalSim– No Work Has Been Accomplished Yet



March 2014

Limitations

• Federation Requires Specific Model Versions• New Units During Game Play Not Available

– Dynamic HRUs– Detachments– Attachments– Cross-attachments

• Transfer of Naval Units Not Fully Functional• Representation Of Personnel



March 2014

Advantages to GlobalSim

• Training at Theater and Tactical Levels• Overlapping Regions Increases Tactical

Awareness Within Theater• Commercially Available Federates

– Makes Federation Feasible• Direct Link To MUSE Supported• Shadow Federations Easily Utilized



March 2014

Future Enhancements

• Coordinate Database Creation• Dynamic HRUs• Detach/Attach Capabilities• Naval Units• Cross-Simulation Counter-Fire• Improved Battle Damage Assessments
