  7. Guidelines for Model DevelopmentUK/NATO Code of Best Practice in C2 Assessment Models must represent • Information as a commodity • Realistic flow of information around the battlespace • Collection of information from multiple sources and tasking of collection assets • Processing of information • Represent C2 [C4ISR] systems as entities on the battlespace • Unit perceptions built, updated, and validated from information available through its information systems • Commander’s decision based on the unit’s perception of the battlespace • Information operations

  9. Represented as a “composite software object.” Top-level decomposition: Battle Space Entity (BSE) Owns or Controls Command & Control Sensor Resource Manager Platform Communications Manager Accountability of Resources “Thinking,” Planning, Decision Making Communications-based interface to other BSEs BSE Detecting, recognizing, identifying Location, speed, direction Fundamental Warfare Functionality Component -- Battle Space Entity (BSE) • BSE --a friendly unit, enemy unit, or major system operating in the battle space. Examples: - Operational Headquarters - Land: Maneuver Battalion - Strategic aircraft and ships - Air: Air Mission Element - Airbases and seaports - Space: Sensor Satellite - Maritime: Ship, Submarine

  10. ISR System Representation Air Space Cobra Ball F-14 TARPS Global Hawk JSTARS Predator Rivet Joint ISR Sensor categories represented in JWARS: • Electro-Optical (EO) • Infra Red (IR) • Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) • Moving Target Indicator (MTI) • Communications Intelligence (COMINT) • Electronic Intelligence (ELINT) • Human Intelligence (HUMINT) • Measurements &Signatures Intelligence (MASINT) U-2 Guardrail Surface NOTE: In order to represent any possible future, JWARS provides a generic capability to represent any kind of platform and associate with it any kind of sensor with any intelligence discipline. The fact that such a modeling capability exists does not imply that any such system exists, is planned, or is even feasible.

  11. Processing (Correlation, Association, Fusion) Decision (Command and Control) Situation Map (Perceived Truth) Intelligence Preparation of the Battle Space (User Input) Communications Communications Collection Plan (User Input) Database of Forces, Assets, etc. (Ground Truth) Data Collection (Sensors) Action (Movement, Combat) Logical Structure (Based on C4ISR) All decisions (C2) are based on the current perception fed by the ISR process over communications networks.

  12. Intelligence Preparation of the Battle Space • User specified at initialization • OPFOR information • Order of Battle (unit strength, garrison location, org type) • Doctrine (Templates) • Environmental Information • Terrain (Go/No Go) • Day / Night • Terrain Trafficability

  13. Collection Plan • Intelligence requirements • Description • Search Location • Search Timing (if applicable) • Processing - Immediate or Periodic Fusion • Satisfaction Criteria - Absence, presence, strength, condition, activity, etc. • Priority • Intelligence Disciplines (leads to sensor allocation) • Quality (NIIRS equivalent) • Report Requirements (when, to whom) • Platform / Sensor Tasking

Demand for Communications Mean Time To Repair Setup Time Mean Time To Reconfigure Setup Time Existing Infrastructure at Allied Bases Delay (sec) Message Load 3.5Mbs 3.5Mbs Major Node On-Line 1.5 2.6 1Mbs Initial Communications Capacity for Network A Major-Node Arrival(2Mbs provider for Network A) Minor-Node Arrival(0.5Mbs provider for Network A) Minor Node On-Line Existing Infrastructure Major Node Damaged 1 5 10 15 20 25 30 Day Communications • Important messages are simulated explicitly; others are “background” traffic. • 144 message types sent explicitly, e.g.: • Sensor Reports (multiple types) - Resupply Requests • Battle Damage Assessments - Undersea Warfare Orders • Multiple networks with individually defined capabilities. • Network load and delay are a function of the network, phase of the war, and time of day. No constraint on # of networks, providers, and subscribers. Each unit can be on multiple networks. Network performance and connection defined in data, which can be modified by user.

  17. Processing Components • Correlation • Determine whether multiple sensor reports refer to a common entity • Delay • Add Processing, Exploitation, and Dissemination (PED) delay • Association • Match sensor report (or set of reports merged per correlation) with a particular perceived entity; if not, create a new perceived entity • Fusion • Update perceived attributes of perceived entity based on all available information, present and past • Purge • Delete mobile entities that are “too old.”

  18. Situation Map • Referred to as the JEF (JWARS Equipment & Forces) or as the COP (Common Operational Picture) • Maintained at the JTF-level • Accessible by any BSE • Information Variability • Timeliness • PED Delay, Age of Information • Accuracy • Unit Identification (multiple classification levels) • Strength Estimate - Mean & Variance • Geo-Spatial - Location & Velocity (subject to collection error) • Subject to Negative Information

  25. Collection Plan • Intelligence gathering based on operational situation assessment (changes reflected in the Collection Plan) • Change collection priority • Reprioritize platform / sensor collection • Change area collected against • Execute Component Commander requests for information • ISR support to the amphibious assault • ISR support of SEAD • ISR support of joint targeting, pre-strike target confirmation and post-strike BDA

  26. Collection Plan Prioritization • Search priorities are set by the JWARS user for: • Each phase (e.g., pre-hostilities, defense, and counter-offense) • Assignment of a search area by platform / sensor pair • NAI, UAI, Cued, MSN, and JEF • Multiple area deconfliction • Uses revisit time, priority, and last time searched to allocate Satellite-EO each period
