  1. OPNAV N81 World-Class Modeling Projects Connecting Simkit, CombatXXI and Naval Simulation System (NSS) via XMSF Web Services Don Brutzman, Arnie Buss, Curt Blais NPS Modeling, Virtual Environments & Simulation (MOVES) Institute 25 January 2004

  2. Topics • Goal Outcomes • Projects • Technologies • Analysis • Checkpoints • Assistance

  3. Introduction • Sponsor: LCDR Phillip Pournelle, N816D3 NPS Operations Research (OR) Graduate • Goals: • Apply Extensible Modeling and Simulation Framework (XMSF) concepts to analysis tools • Connecting Simkit, CombatXXI and NSS via XMSF Web Services • Establish transformational analytical framework • From: monolithic, closed system designs • To: M&S frameworks that are open and permit modular, loosely coupled components to be rapidly integrated to create agile analytical capabilities

  4. Goal Outcomes • Connect established systems using Web-based technologies • Connect analysis, M&S and tactical communities • Expose NPS faculty and students as a critical Navy resource • Brief top levels of CNO staff

  5. Projects Overview AT/FP prototype SAVAGE and MAS Analytical Modeling Framework NSS Simkit CombatXXI Simkit Analytical Workbench JFEO Modeling Improve Strike Module with XMSF / X3D vis / Web Services N81 Analyses AT/FP: Anti-Terrorism / Force Protection CombatXXI: Next-generation Army/Marine analytical model JFEO: Joint Forcible Entry Options MAS: Multi-Agent Systems NSS: Naval Simulation System SAVAGE: Scenario Authoring and Visualization for Advanced Graphical Environments Simkit: Discrete Event Simulation (DES) Application Programmers Interface (API) X3D: Extensible 3D Graphics XMSF: Extensible Modeling and Simulation Framework

  6. Key Technologies: XMSF Extensible Modeling & Simulation Framework • A composable set of standards, profiles, and recommended practices for web-based M&S • Foundational precepts: Internet technologies, Extensible Markup Language (XML)-based languages, and service-oriented architectures (e.g., Web services) for simple messaging • Enable a new generation of distributed M&S applications to emerge, develop, interoperate http://www.movesinstitute.org/xmsf

  7. Web Services “Stack” Universal Description, Discovery and Integration (UDDI) – catalogs Web Services Description Language (WSDL) – methods Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) – envelope Any XML (any message here) Language- and system-independent messaging, APIs defined and discoverable via XML over the Web

  8. Technology Tasks Analytical Framework: WCM-14 • Integrate NSS with Simkit through Web services • Small-scale demonstration of integrated capabilities (SOF scenario) • Continuation of 2003 efforts

  9. Technology Tasks Integrated Development Environment (IDE) Simkit Analytic Workbench: WCM-28 Simkit Event Graph GUI Design patterns XML representation Library of past thesis models Simkit .java .class

  10. Technology + Analysis Task Anti-Terrorism Force Protection (AT/FP): WCM-16 • Foundation: LT James Harney USN Spring 2003 thesis “Analyzing Anti-Terrorist Tactical Effectiveness of Picket Boats for Force Protection of Navy Ships Using X3D Graphics and Agent-Based Simulation” • MOVES Agent modeling approach • SAVAGE 3D model library • Xj3D open source X3D implementation • Work with N81, N70 analysts to determine functional capabilities required to support analyses of interest • Implement and test enhancements to AT/FP planning tool • Design & perform analyses of interest with enhanced tool

  11. Analysis Tasks: Approach • Problem Definition • Experimental Design • Scenario Development • Model Execution and Data Collection • Data Analysis • Results and Conclusions

  12. Analysis Tasks 1 Joint Forcible Entry Options (JFEO): WCM-15 • Measure impact of C4ISR, SeaBasing and other pillars of SEAPOWER 21 on joint ground warfight • Study of JFEO in a Major Contingency Operation (MCO) covered by the Campaign Analysis conducted by Director of Assessment Division of the OPNAV staff • Utilize the NSS/CombatXXI M&S framework • Study issues: include C4ISR requirements to support different JFEO options employed by joint forces commander in prosecution of a MCO

  13. Analysis Tasks 2 Improve Strike Module: WCM-19 • Measure impact of FORCEnet, improved C4ISR, SeaBased-forces, SeaStrike and other pillars of SEAPOWER 21 on joint ground warfight • Study: do improved communications architectures enhance or improve strike accuracy, sortie rates and effectiveness? • Utilize the NSS/CombatXXI M&S framework • Provide detailed analysis of improved strike rate capabilities for larger Campaign Analysis model • Evaluate potential alternative strike systems in face of improved C4ISR capability

  14. Schedule Checkpoints • February • Nail down analysis problem definitions • June: MORS Symposium, Monterey • Present NSS/Simkit/CombatXXI framework for conducting the analysis tasks • September: project + analysis briefings • OPNAV N81, N70, N60, CNO staff, others • December 2004: final reports

  15. OR Assistance Needed • Lead Analyst on each Analysis Task • Work with N81 analysts to define study terms • Guide analysis team • Design experiments and develop hybrid scenarios together with Metron, N81 • Supervise experiments and data analysis • Report analytic results and findings • Support NPS student theses & faculty, in tandem with separate N81 tasking to OR

  16. Demos session 10-1100, Friday 30 January 2004 ME-267 Savage Lab Feedback, questions and discussion are always welcome. Thanks!
