  1. Overview Air Force C4ISR Modeling Special Task Group Lt Col Michael Riha, AFCIC/ITAS (703) 588-6079 DSN (425)

  2. In response to C4ISR modeling concerns raised at the Air Force Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis Mini-Caucus held on 8 Oct 99, AF/XOCA and AFCIC/ITA requested the activation of an AF C4ISR Modeling Special Task Group (STG) to focus on C4ISR modeling and data deficiencies. How Did We Get Here?

  3. AFMS&A Mini-Caucus, 8 Oct 99 Raised concerns about C4 Modeling How is C4 being handled in the major J-Model efforts? What C4 tools are available? JCAPS, NETWARS, Diode, Tel-Scope, ... What are JCAPS & NETWARS? Should JCAPS & NETWARS be added to AF Standard Analysis Toolkit? What other C4ISR Models exist? Should C4ISR common data be centrally managed? How? How should it be funded? What guidance structure is needed?

  6. Overarching Questions • What are the Air Force’s C4ISR M&S requirements? • What are our current C4ISR M&S capabilities? • What requirements can not be met? • Which tools and data repositories do we use today or need for the future to meet those requirement shortfalls? • What course of action (COA) should we take?

JWARS

  9. DMSO JCS AFMC BMDO OSD(C3I) AFIWC AFSAA NAIC AFAMS C4ISR Modeling Issue • DoD modeling fish are not swimming in same direction • No single feeding pond for C4ISR modeling data • Information Exchange Requirements (IERs) • Operational Facility (OPFAC) naming convention • Common scenarios • C4ISR infrastructure • No incentive up-stream to synchronize disparate DoD modeling efforts

  10. Why Is It An Issue? • Air Force leadership (Air Staff, MAJCOM(s), Agencies, Bases) unable to adequately justify C4ISR requirements ($$) • Inadequate representation of C4ISR assets ($$) • Wargaming analysis reduced confidence level • Reduced fidelity of training • Multiple labor intensive data calls conducted DoD wide for same information ($$) • Data usually not validated • Data usable life is short (no update process) • C4ISR architectures remain unexecutable ($$) • Systems of systems integration management can not be achieved ($$)

  11. Vision Provide direct C4ISR M&S and architecture support to many separate programs through the introduction of greater efficiency in collection, use, dissemination, and maintenance of C4ISR data to accomplish efforts that otherwise would have to be achieved separately by each program. "The whole is greater than sum of its parts The part is greater than its role in the whole.” Tom Atlee

  13. Vision Benefits • M&S development in Air Force will become faster, cheaper and less risky while maintaining and even improving upon the superior quality of Air Force M&S assets. • Developmental “lessons learned” will result in cost avoidance be reducing errors in future efforts. • M&S modules will be more quickly and inexpensively adapted or configured to solve a broader range of problems. • All disciplines will have a common authoritative product data set. • Automated tools can more easily be developed to improve the consistency and quality of data and software. • M&S developed in one area may be showcased and reused in other areas and across services. • Developments will be easier to defend in budget battles.

  16. Goals • Assess the needs for C4ISR modeling and simulation tools and data. • Evaluate C4ISR modeling methodologies, tools and repositories to be leveraged by the Air Force. • Identify specific C4ISR data requirements to support those models. • Propose an AF process to improve methodologies and tools, and to collect, maintain, and disseminate C4ISR data to support modeling, architectures, and systems integration efforts.

  17. Assumptions • The users of C4ISR M&S, particularly analysis, acquisition, technology and architecture communities, are still evolving their methodologies and tools. • Authoritative C4ISR data is not readily available to Model and Architecture developers. • The C4ISR data acquired is incomplete for simulation and architecture development or ambiguous to the developer. • C4ISR knowledge acquired (at considerable expense) is not retained for future use (fostering unnecessary duplication).

  18. Objective • Clearly identify the C4ISR data requirements throughout the DoD communities that the AF is or will be obligated to support. • Reduce unnecessary C4ISR modeling duplication if identified. • Prevent duplication of labor intensive C4ISR data calls from being levied upon AF MAJCOM(s), agencies, and organizational units. • Provide a clear executable process within the Air Force to collect C4ISR data once and share many times.

  19. Study Scope • C4ISR MS&A • ASD(C3I) Tasked Intelligence Community for review of ISR M&S • AFSOM Configuration Control Board reviewing C4ISR M&S for training • Initial focus of study: • C4 (C2 and Comm) M&S for Analysis • C4ISR data processing
