  1. Canadian OneSAF Update Captain Chris TaffProgram Manager: C2Simulation for Land Operations

  2. Outline • Background: • Canadian Army Simulation stakeholders • Status of Canadian OneSAF use • Simulation Framework & Tools update

  3. Background(or, who does what to whom)

  6. Canadian OneSAF Status

  7. Status • Canada has received foreign build 1.0a (domestic build 1.5) • Use has been limited to installation and trial by DLSE • Canada should have the new foreign build this week and so be based on domestic build 2 • This build may be suitable for experimentation by our defence scientists • Likely not yet suitable for training (next slide)

  8. OneSAF for training Each build is evaluated for use in Command and Staff Training Criteria for evaluation * must provide greater training benefit than current constructive simulations * must be an open, flexible system (existing standards and protocols are preferred) * must be able to incorporate Canadian doctrine * must have a predictable requirements, development and delivery cycle * must include good technical support

  9. Framework and Tools Update

  10. Core of the Framework: VCCI • Virtual – Command and Control Interface • Grew out of simulation-independent C2 stimulation • JC3IEDM data model • Leveraged to provide data capture for AAR, sim-independent UAV visualization, ISR products

  11. Sim Capture Constructive Simulation Framework UAV Air Mission SimSpeak CAST ABACUS VCCI C2 Systems JCATS ISR Systems AAR

  12. SimSpeak • Low-cost simulated voice radio comms for exercises • Deployed Sept 2008, in use at all Sim Centres • Radio (Windows/Linux) • Logger • Console • WAN Bridge • VCCI-enabled for data capture and AAR

  13. UAV Simulation Provides UAV visualization independent of… • Simulation protocol • JCATS (DIS) • CAST/ABACUS (propietary) • Simulation level: entity- or aggregate-based • Deaggregation based on Canadian doctrine • Image generator • VBS2 • MetaVR VRSG • others

  14. AAR Simulation-independent AAR tool • Uses standard geo products (no need for preprocessed terrain databases) • Single consistent interface for AAR analysts, regardless of simulation employed • Same tool can be used at different levels of training during unit work-up cycle • Robust viewing, filtering, bookmarking of events in time, space, and view context

  15. Conclusion

  16. Summary • A great deal of improved functionality and performance with each release • Build 2.0 will be evaluated for use in research • Build 3.0 appears to be the first candidate for use in experimentation and training • Inclusion of C4ISR adapter is very promising • After performance/functionality of the software itself, process is the single greatest criterion for adoption • Release cycle needs to be predictable, repeatable • Releases cannot lag the US domestic release significantly • Releases cannot un-do any Canadian integration effort
