  1. Joint Theater Level Simulation Service Oriented Architecture

  2. Basic SOA Architecture Response Cell Interface Layer CAX Planning Design Execution Wargaming Layer Data C2 Interface C2 Environment Layer CAX OPS Training Audience ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

  3. JTLS SOA Status • Environment Layer • Common Terrain • Presagis Terrain Generation – Phase 1 • Air Corridors, Rail, Roads, Rivers, Shorelines, National Boundaries, Gridded Terrain • Smooth Movement • Move Away From Hex Terrain Representation • Web-Based Request and Static Terrain Delivery For JTLS • Presagis Terrain Generation – Phase 2 • Web-Based Requested and Streamed Terrain For JTLS ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

  4. JTLS SOA Status • Environment Layer (Con’t) • Weather Service – Ready To Implement • NCBR Service – Ready To Implement • Minefield Service • Ready To Implement • Movement Impact • Damage During Movement Impact • Not Ready To Implement • Clearing • Laying ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

  5. JTLS SOA Status • Environment Layer (Con’t) • Sea State Service – Not Currently Useful • Ocean Environment • Partially Ready To Implement • Major Effort • Satellite Service • Operational • Part Of Our Service Investigation ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

  6. Investigate SOA • JTLS-2012-11382 • Satellite Service • Creates Realistic Orbits • When and Where It Enters Theater • When and Where It Leaves Theater • Database Format • Read Order File Format • Satellite Moves Across Theater • Can Detect Like Any Other Air Mission ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

  7. JTLS SOA Status • Wargaming Layer • Generally • Ready To Implement Any Desired Service • Difficult Challenges To Overcome • Communication Between Services • Cause And Effect Relationships Between Services • Maintenance Service • Started Investigation • Requires Government Addresses Challenges ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

  8. JTLS SOA Status • Interface Layer • JTLS Is Already Using SOA • Admittedly Our Interface Is JTLS Specific ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

  9. JTLS SOA Status • C2 Interface • Moving To Our Service Environment • JTLS Operational Interface (JOI) • Feeds: OTH-Gold, Link-16 • JTLS Transactional Operational Interface (JTOI) • Feeds: TBMCS, ICC, NEC-CCIS (Norway) • TACELINT Service • Being Implemented • Part Of Our Service Investigation ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

  10. JTLS 2008-10001Feed TACELINT To C4I • Current Method • CEP Generate TACELINT Messages • Written To Disk • MDP Forwards To C4I System • Thousands Need To Be Generated • Simply Unworkable As Is • Plans • Have Service Generate TACELINT ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

  11. JTLS 2008-10001Feed TACELINT To C4I • Plans (Con’t) • Service • Connected To JODA • Takes Emitting Radars • Generates TACELINT • Can Determine When SAM Site Locks On • Change Pulse Rate – Indicator For C4I System • Model • No Longer Generates TACELINT • WHIP Shows Emitting Objects ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

  12. Service Investigation • Input • Satellite Service • Output • TACELINT Service • Two-Way Interaction • Maintenance Service Satellite Pass Data Wargaming Layer TACELINT Generation Maintenance Model ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

  13. SOA Way Forward • Obviously • Start Service Integration • Requires Government • Identification • Definiton • Not Particularly Difficult For JTLS • Already Using Service Oriented Architecture • Well Defined And Strict Coding Standards ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

  14. SOA Way Forward • Simulation On Demand • Most Important Advantage Of SOA • Leads To Cost Savings • Reduce Computer Resources • Reduce IT Support • Reduce Infra-Structure Requirements • Physical (Building) • Consumption (Electrical, Air Conditioning, Etc) ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

  15. SOA Way Forward • Simulation On Demand (Con’t) • Most Important Advantage Of SOA (Con’t) • Leads To Ease Of Use • Centralize Database Development • Collaborative Exercise Coordination Environment • PACOM APAN Environment • Centralize Model Execution ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

  16. SOA Way Forward • Simulation On Demand (Con’t) • McGraw Hill Case Study • Grade Standardized Student Testing • High Computer Resources – Short Period Of Time • Amazon Commercial Cloud Virtual Environment • Within Minutes - Request Virtual Machine • Amount Of Memory • Operating System • Pay Only From Request Time To Release Time ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

  17. SOA Way Forward • Simulation On Demand (Con’t) • Attempted To Use Cloud Environment • Moved JTLS Documentation To Cloud • Became Apparent • Both Data and Software Needed To Be On Cloud • Investigated And Used Automated Model Control • Used During Australian Exercise • Checkpoints, Shadow Game Control Were Automated ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

  18. Central Model Control Game One Game Two Game Three Game Four Given Proper Tools - Once Person Can Manage Four Games ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

  19. SOA Way Forward • Issues • Classification Issues • Commercial Data Center Not Feasible • Government Data Center Needs To Be Funded • To Maximum Cost Savings • Needs To Be DoD Centralized Capability • Not Just Modeling And Simulation / Exercise Support • Compartmentalization Issues • Opposite Of Current Government Direction ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

  20. SOA Way Forward • Suggestion / Proposal • Develop Simulation On Demand Capability • Use JTLS As Demonstration Capability • Select Unclassified Exercise • PANAMAX (2014) • Develop and Demonstrate SOA Tools / Execution • Advantages • Decision Makers Can Better Understand Concept • Learn From Mistakes / Successes ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation

  21. Questions ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation
