  2. Status Of JTLS Versions ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation • JTLS 4.1 • Still Being Used By One User • Maintained Under Separate Contract • JTLS 5.0 • Supported Until January 2020 • We Will Fix Errors Found and Reported • As Of June 2019, No Longer Back Integrating

  3. Status Of JTLS Versions ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation • JTLS 5.1 • Most Current Release 5.1.3.0 • Discuss Later Today • Plans To Support Until January 2021 • JTLS 6.0 • Actively Working On Designated Improvements • Still Working Most Designs • Database Has Not Been Closed Yet

  4. Status JTLS 6.0 ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation • Test Schedule • Alpha Test – 16 to 20 December 2019 • Beta Test – 03 to 14 February 2020 • Acceptance Test – 16 to 27 March 2020 • Test Location • Joint Staff / J7 Suffolk, VA • Implies US Government Participation Only • We Have Not Planned NATO Test

  5. JTLS 2013-11707Improve Simscript Debugging Capability ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation • Moving From Simscript II.5 To Simscript III • Basically Not Of Concern To End User • Still There Are Enough Changes To Understand • Basically Started Because • Improving Debugging – Allow “Break If” Commands • We Were Using Debugging Techniques From 1970’s • CACI Built The Capability Because Of JTLS Imput • Time We Started To Use What They Implemented

  6. JTLS 2013-11707Improve Simscript Debugging Capability ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation • Secondary Reason For Simscript III • Simscript II.5 No Longer Supported • Didn’t Want To Wake Up One Day • Find Out It No Longer Works With New Linux Release • Can’t Get Approval To Run On Older Linux • Considered Moving Away From Simscript • Major Multi-Year Effort • All Options Were More Difficult To Manage

  7. JTLS 2013-11707Improve Simscript Debugging Capability ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation • Start Entire Process By Getting Training • Simscript III Is Promoted As Object-Oriented • Basic Conclusion Was • Not Truly Object-Oriented • Unworkable From JTLS-GO Point Of View • Need To Use Process Approach • JTLS Must Use Event Approach

  8. Event Approach • Event Customer Arrive • Create Customer • Drawn Random Server Needed Time • Is Server Available • Yes - Schedule Customer Leave • No Put Customer In Queue • Schedule Customer Arrive • When We Take A Checkpoint • Save Each Customer • Save Each Event Time • No Need To Save Data In Event • Event Customer Leave • Destroy Customer • Is Queue Empty • Yes – No Nothing • No – Take Customer From Queue and Schedule Customer Leave ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

  9. Process Approach • Process Customer • Until Process Ends • Create A Customer • Draw Random Server Needed Time • Put Customer In Queue • If Server Is Available • Restart Server Process • Wait Until Next Customer Arrives • Loop • Process Server • Until Process Ends • Wait For Customer To Arrive • Until Queue Is Empty • Remove First Customer • Work For Server Needed Time • Destroy Customer • Loop • Loop • When We Take A Checkpoint • Need To Save Each Customer • Need To Save Each Process • Line Number Where Event Was • All Local Data Values • Time Next Line Should Execute ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

  10. JTLS 2013-11707Improve Simscript Debugging Capability ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation • So What Did We Decide To Do • Moved To Simscript III • Did Not Move To Object-Oriented Approach • JTLS 6.0 Was Running With Simscript III Within A Week • Remove “Deprecated” Simscript II.5 Features • “Deprecated” Means: • They Work, But • CACI Wants To Remove Them

  11. JTLS 2013-11707Improve Simscript Debugging Capability ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation • Deprecated Items And What They Mean • Bit Packing • Remove Bit Packing

  12. JTLS 2013-11707Improve Simscript Debugging Capability ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation • Deprecated Items And What They Mean • Equivalenced Variables • Remove Equivalence • Keep Readability

  15. JTLS 2013-11707Improve Simscript Debugging Capability ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation • Deprecated Items And What They Mean • Remove Permanent Entities • All Permanent Entities Become Temporary Entities • What Does This Mean • No Longer Access By Integer – Access By Name • Order Streams Will Be Longer • Time Impact To Find By Name – Integer No Longer Available • Easily Provide Capability To Add Permanent Entities During Game • Copy Existing Entity • Use Set Orders To Alter

  16. JTLS-2016-12714Build Inherent JTLS-GO MSEL Tool ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation • Has Been In Prototype For Some Time • Needed SuperWHIP Capability • Delivered But Needs Refinement • Desire To Interact With • JS/J7 Tool • Joint Training Information Management System (JTIMS) • JTIMS Lite – Web Based • NATO MEL/MIL Tool

  17. JTLS-2016-12714Build Inherent JTLS-GO MSEL Tool ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation • Basic Features • Tags In • Orders, Messages, E-mails, Documents • Select Object At Execution Time That Fit Situation • Object Name, Location Place In Tags For • Ease • Consistency

  18. JTLS-2017-13132Allow HRUs (UAVs) to Gather Intel from DSAs ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation Planned Originally For JTLS 5.1 Still In Design Phase

  19. JTLS-2017-13139Better Location Info in IIR Messages (NWARS) ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation • NWARS Plays National Collection • Primarily Used By US INDO-PACOM • Finalize Design In October With NWARS

  20. JTLS-2019-14350Detailed Engagement Reports For Users ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation • Currently Detailed Engagement Reports • Provided To Controller • Not Available To User • Technically No Reason For This • Original Concept Was To Keep A Distinction Between • User – Only Has Information Exercise Audience Should Receive • Makes It Simple For User WHIP To Maintain Consistent Storyboard • Controller – All Information Available From Model

  21. JTLS-2019-14350Detailed Engagement Reports For Users ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation • Still In Design Phase • Needs Full Coordination With NATO • NATO Funded ECP

  22. JTLS-2019-14351Allow Viewing Multiple Messages ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation • NATO Funded • Design Has Not Been Started • Can Bring Up Multiple Message Browsers Already • Design To Be “More Outlook-Like”

  23. JTLS-2019-14352Develop Specific Maritime DSA Report ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation • NATO Funded • In Previous Versions Of JTLS • IIR Report Worked With DSA • RECCEXREP Report Worked With Swwep Collection • User Community Found RECCEXREP Unusable • Way To Much Data – Totally Unusable • Removed RECCEXREP • Kept The Detections – Simply No Report

  24. JTLS-2019-14352Develop Specific Maritime DSA Report ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation NATO Maritime Cell Needs Sweep Report Back In Design Phase

  25. JTLS-2019-14353Convoy Data In AAR ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation • After Action Review (AAR) Database • Does Not Contain Full Convoy Results Data • Major Events Needed • Pickup Supplies, Dropoff Supplies • Damage / Kills • Lost Assets and Supplies • Need Data But Also Supporting Reports

  33. JTLS-2019-14357Move From Oracle PostgreSQL ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation • What Is “Flashback” • Special Oracle Capability Used So When • User 1 Changes A Piece Of Data • User 2 Sees Changed Data On His DDS-Client • This Special Capability Does Not Exist In PostgreSQL • Goal Is: • User Will Not See Any Difference In DDS-Client

  34. JTLS-2019-14357Move From Oracle PostgreSQL ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation • There Will Be Some Differences • Format Of Data Files Completely Changes • Show This Later Today • View During Demonstrations • Database Conversion Has Changed Completely • When Converting From 5.1 to 6.0 • JTLS Will No Longer Have Oracle Available • Developing Version Conversion Program (VCP)

  35. JTLS-2019-14357Move From Oracle PostgreSQL ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation • Implications Of Version Conversion Program • Previously When Converting • Users Could Skip Versions – Not Suggested, But Possible • For Example, Upgrade 4.1 Scenario to 5.1 Format • Now • Users Must Update Pre-5.1 Scenarios To 5.1 Using Oracle • Take 5.1 Scenario And Use VCP To Create 6.0 Database • VCP Has Proven To Be Easier Than Oracle Conversion • It Will Be Use From Now On – Not Just For 5.1 To 6.0
