Adaptable C4I Operational Domains
Real TimeCOP

CBR Domain
EM Spectrum Domain
• Information/processes beyond human cognition• Geospacial information other than track data
• May be multidimensional (2-3D plus time)• Displayed in COP as adjunct data/objects overlays• Displayed in SIMCOP as alternate views in
•Time base•Visualization (3-D etc.)•Function (control/analysis/planning)
Complementary “COPs”• Overlays (time projected activity)• Inserted objects (CBR “Clouds”)• Other views of battlespace:
•EM space•Acoustic space•IW space•Network space C4I
Tactical C4I Decision Support
Tactical vice Deliberative Planning processSituational Assessment
• Simulation/C4I TDA used to evaluate Course of Action– Requires Scenario Generation tools and capture of real world C4I picture/
integration into C4I COP– Need to create electronic “plans”/scenarios for evaluation by simulation
TDA and distribution to other users– Timeliness of results critical to tactical relevance
• Simulation/C4I TDA used to produce C4I Adaptable Operational Domains of information for analysis
• Simulation/C4I TDA used to show effects of current operations and planning options
Embedded Simulation Infrastructure (ESI) Program Objectives
Create a Modeling & Simulation Environment in the DII COE/NCES for development of simulation based Tactical Mission Applications*.– Link simulated data to DII COE Services– Develop additional DII COE M&S Services– Aggregate services in HOST APPLICATIONS– Distribute functionality between M&S and C4I systems.
Proof-of-concept C4I Mission Applications– Weapons of Mass Destruction Analysis (WMDA)– C4I Team Training System (SPAWAR)
Create DII COE Modeling and Simulation Software Developers Kit (M&S SDK)

Mission EditorRequirements
• Create & Manage Scenarios – US, Threat, & Others – Real, Slower & Faster than real time operations
• Represents Physical Environments – Sea, Undersea, Air, Land, Space, weather
• Uses Common Data, Standardized Models– TMS data structures – Standard messages– Database information ( XML etc)
• Connects Synthetic Battle Forces to GCCS Applications– DII COE Services– Mission Applications

Select Tracks of Interest (Forces, Platforms, Track Types, etc). Select geographic location (lat/long and circumference area). Extract data from TMS. Set DTG. Provide to an Application as:
• Simulated Tracks Objects (TMS-4 objects).• Message Objects (OTH Gold, RPR, DIS).
Purpose: capture real world tracks and provide them to an application for initialization & time projections.

C4I-M&S Host Application.
Standard ESI M&S Application architecture. Provides C4I functions tailored for M&S Application:
- Situation Assessment - Visualization- COA Analysis - Operation analysis - Planning - Information Processing
Readily hosts other relevant NBC simulations. Models & Simulations can be developed by non-C4I
experts. Composible, from:
C4I M&S services To aggregate Host Application frameworks for use type
Reuse of components from other Mission Applications.
C4I M&S Host Application: Definition
Aggregates a set of COE and ESI M&S services relevant to a particular C4I Mission. (e.g., WMD Defense)
Hosts 1 or more simulations or processes that perform specific Mission analysis. (e.g., Down Wind Hazard Assessment, Urban Contamination Analysis, lethality etc.)
Readily modifiable to host additional simulations of the same category. (e.g., NBC Sensor Fusion, Strike Planning)
A C4I (e.g., GCCS, GCCS/M) application shell that:

The ESI and XMSF
New capability in C4I, harmonize now with emerging M&S architectures
XML already used for new M&S specific data for ESI services
Composible Architecture fits well with XMSF paradigm
Requires well defined models and data Scales well from embedded to distributed between
C4I and M&S systems.
