Mrs. Ellen Roland

• Unfortunately There Is Only One Word

JTLS 5.0 Status

July 2015 2Copyright 2015, ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

• We Always Knew– It Was An Aggressive Schedule– Cost Was Bare Bones Minimum

• Still– We Decided To Do It Correctly

• Implemented New Logic• Attempted To Remove Model Inconsistencies

JTLS 5.0 Status


• Beta Copies– JTLS 5.0.0.R

• Friday 11 July 2015

– JTLS 5.0.0.S• Friday 25 July 2015

– Updates Approximately Every Two Weeks

Plan Of Way Forward


5

• Removal Of Hexagon Game Board– Grid Layers / Network Overlays– Worldwide Representation

• Testbed For JLVC 2020 Services– JTLS Already Wed Enabled / Cloud Capability– Move Functions From Individual Programs

• Services• Monitored and Controlled By Web Services Manager

JTLS 5.0 Basic Overview

July 2015 Copyright 2015, ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

• Committed To Network Overlay– Multiple Networks

• Road, River• Must Leave One, Travel Off Network, Get On Next

– Multiple Independent Networks• Rail, Pipeline• No Need To Go From One Network To Next

– Single Worldwide Network• Air Corridor, Sea Lanes

JTLS-2012-11184Model Road Network


• Basic Design– All Networks– When The Model Starts

• Compute Which Arcs Cross Which Boundaries

– Once Data Is Established• Implementation Is Easy• Won’t Leave Node Unless Arc Is Legal

– Boundaries Are No Longer “Hex” / “Grid” Edges• Implement Cross Lines Algorithm

JTLS 2013-11744Air Corridors Recognize National Boundaries


• Part Of Network Movement Plan– Sea Lanes Work Much Like Air Corridors– Each Sea Lane Have A Width

• Unlike Aircraft, They Stay Close To Sea Lane

– Once Off Network• Naval Units Travel Great Circle Path• Won’t Enter Grid

– Too Shallow– Not Ocean, Small Island, or Dual Capable

• Won’t Cross Barrier

JTLS-2011-10933Maritime Supply Routes


• Biggest Issue - River Data– Nodes Do Not Connect In Raw Data– No Good Depth Information

• Seasonal Depth An Unreachable Goal For Now

• Once Data Exists– Travel On Rivers – Straight Forward– Crossing Rivers When Off Road

• Crossing Line Algorithm

JTLS-2006-1659River Networks


• All Networks Will Be Displayable• Road Networks

– Bridges and Tunnels Are Arcs– Road Interdiction Points Nodes

• Current Plan
