C3HPM Goals in MATREX

Provide a tool to support evaluation of warfighter task allocation, warfighter decision aiding, and WMI device suitability in combat vehicles and C2 shelters across Large force structures Wide varieties of complex scenarios

Provide a tool to support integration and test of warfighter decision aids and WMI devices into combat vehicles and C2 shelters

Provide a modeling and simulation environment to support analysis of Operational & Organizational Plan issues by coordinating with other MATREX tools

C3HPM Current Implementation Objectives

Provide constructive simulation of warfighters performing C2 tasks in the MATREX environment Provide capability to model operational roles as prioritized

reactions to received C2 messages• Manipulate data of received C2 messages to generate transmitted

C2 messages

• Execution time lines of reactions based on equipment models and human performance limitations

Provide capability to simulate operational roles for warfighters in multiple platforms

Provide capability to log tasks and workload for all warfighters

Demonstrate capabilities by modeling Joint Close Air Support (JCAS) roles and executing an engagement scenario

C3HPM Future ImplementationObjectives

Enable modeling of Human Centric Network Enabled Battle Command (HC-NEBC) in the MATREX environment

SEMI-automatically generate role models from DODAF products (i.e. OV-6c mission threads) Utilize simulation neutral XML format to encode

behaviors (i.e., OWL-S) to promote reuse Separate role deployment and role to role addressing

to promote reuse Demonstrate capabilities by generating

modular force networked effects roles from TRADOC Analysis Center mission threads and executing an engagement scenario

C3HPM Future ImplementationOWL-S Semantic Markup for Web Services

An ontology which supplies web service providers with a core set of markup language constructs for describing the properties and capabilities of their Web services

Developed in the W3C Web Ontology Language (OWL), an extension to the XML-based Resource Description Framework (RDF) schema that defines terms commonly used in creating a model of an object or process

Developed by the Semantic Web Services arm of the DARPA Agent Markup Language (DAML) Program and submitted to W3C as a member submission http://www.w3.org/Submission/OWL-S/

Provides an extensible, open-source, XML schema for interchange of process descriptions which can be easily transformed and ingested by modeling tools and simulations

Extended by TARDEC & NIST to enable modeling of intelligent battlefield systems to support autonomous system development and warfighter integration into intelligent systems
