Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Battlespace Integrated Concept Emulation Program Test Cell (BICEP-TC) began as a Unilateral Delivery Order (UDO) in support of Fort Hood's SiMulation EXercise (SIMEX) 2 in 1997. It transformed into a standard Delivery Order (DO) #0049 under the Advanced Distributed Simulation Technology 2 (ADST 2) contract administered by the U.S. Army Simulation Training and Instrumentation Command (STRICOM). U.S. Army Aviation Center (USAAVNC), Fort Rucker, AL sponsored the initial work. Army National Guard and PEO Aviation provided additional funds. The BICEP-TC grew from previously reported work of the Ft. Hood deployment. It replaced Government furnished equipment (GFE) with contractor provided items for the Mission Control Center (MCC), added the third manned simulator, refined the final packaging, hardware and software of the Reconfigurable Tactical Trainers (RTT), and integrated everything in a 53 foot commercial trailer. The package has been used in cooperative training environments with the Close Combat Tactical Trainer (CCTT), both fixed site and mobile units through a BICEP-TC network gateway. The system has deployed to several Army National Guard sites for training and has validated the concepts of the Aviation Combined Arms Tactical Trainer (AVCATT). It has been used for train-up of forces deploying to Bosnia.

Book excerpt: The SIMEX II was conducted during the period 17-23 September 1997 and the Division Advanced Warfighting Experiment (DAWE) was conducted from 5-13 November 1997 at the BICEP facility at Ft. Hood, TX. The exercises were sponsored by the Directorate of Training, Doctrine and Simulation (DOTDS), U.S. Army Aviation Center, Fort Rucker, AL. The training exercises utilized virtual simulation integrated with a notional tactical command and control network to provide training for the TF XXI AViation task force. A notional AVTOC was integrated on a tactical LAN. A DIS LAN consisted of manned simulators and computer generated forces. The two LANs were connected via the Tactical Simulation Interface Unit (TSIU). Scenarios were utilized to exercise the aircrews and command and control processes. The virtual stations included the Aviation Reconfigurable Manned Simulator (ARMS) proof of principle device and follow-on units, the Comanche Portable Cockpit (CPC), Apache-Longbow workstations, a man in the loop threat air defense simulator, and the Suite of Integrated Radio Frequency Countermeasures (SIRFC). This final report addresses the simulation, tactical, and communications networks developed to support the two exercises and lessons learned.

This book was released on 1999 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document presents the lessons that have been learned during the development and operation of the Synthetic Theater of War Architecture (STOW-A) System. This product evolved over a period of more than four years, spanning both the Advanced Distributed Simulation Technology (ADST) 1 and ADST 2 contracts. In 1994, the Synthetic Theater of War Europe (STOW-E) demonstration provided the first step towards integrating virtual, constructive, and live exercise components. The system that resulted from the rapid modification of existing simulations was not designed for the set of problems inherent with exchanging data between dissimilar systems that used different protocols and computed different representations of units and basic loads, different terrain, etc. While the basic concept was proven, the system was not stable and had limited functionality. The first major upgrade to the initial STOW-A system was accomplished to support the Prairie Warrior 93 exercise. The limited virtual simulation and the interface of STOW-B were replaced, and the resulting system proved to be more reliable and extensible, but again the quick turnaround defined by the exercise date limited the ability to design or test the software. Significant improvements were achieved in the correlation of behavior, terrain, and fidelity between the constructive and virtual worlds. User comments and developers' design concepts were collected, correlated, prioritized, and implemented in time for STOWEX 96. Over the next two years, there was sufficient time between exercises to discuss user needs, add functionality, and strengthen stability within the context of improving software design and implementing a controlled test approach.

Book excerpt: This Final Report documents the findings of the Mini-Feasibility Analysis Study (FAS) that is currently being performed for the Advanced Distributed Technology Program 2 (ADST 2) ModSAF Life Cycle Support Delivery Order. This Delivery Order (DO) is being executed in two phases, an analysis phase and an execution phase. The first phase, Analysis, is the initial planning task to support the ModSAF program and transition from the ADST 1 program to the ADST 2 program. The purpose of the Analysis phase is to begin the planning, preparation, and assumption of duties and responsibilities currently performed by the ADST 1 contractor to the ADST 2 team. In addition, the ADST 2 team will provide support to STRICOM in the formulation of the ADST 2 ModSAF software development strategy and development of a comprehensive Life Cycle Support Plan that will provide the necessary plans, schedule, tasks, and resources to support the second phase, Execution. The second phase, Execution, will involve the actual performance of those tasks supporting the ModSAF program.

This book was released on 1999 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents the results of the Digital Collective Training Study, which identifies requirements for the Advanced Distributed Simulation Technology II (AD ST II) Program in support of evolving digital battle staff training needs These requirements are derived from a Digital Collective Training (DCT) approach, which leverages fielded and emerging digital systems to provide a modular, low cost, low risk DCT course of action. The intent of DCT is to allow parallel development of C41 systems, training and doctrine and distributed simulation systems that result in a flexible and tailorable training tool. An implementation plan for a Digital Battle staff Sustainment Trainer (DBST) driver based on a federation of CCTT SAF and OTB SAF is proposed for train up and execution of the Division Capstone Exercise (DCX) at Fort Hood, Texas. This implementation plan includes a blueprint, support environment, initial capability, and a simulation support concept which best support digital staff training for DCX. Critical DBST functionality required to support DCX includes 1) incorporation of a confederation of CCTT SAF and ModSAF/OneSAF Testbed as a ground maneuver driver in a Digital Battle staff Sustainment Trainer (DBST) for DCX train up from November 1999 through March 2001 and 2) use of a confederated CCTT SAF and ModSAF 5.0/OneSAF Testbed maneuver model as a Low Overhead Drive for a Staff COFt in the CCTTTOC facility during DCX in March 2001.

This book was released on 1999 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Embedded Mission Planning and Integrated Rehearsal effort was initiated by DARPA and STRICOM as an exploratory sampling and analysis of warfighting planning processes and tools. The purpose of this effort was to identify highly promising technologies and tools to facilitate embedding a mission rehearsal capability robust enough to train a target audience on a set of target tasks within the broad range of mission rehearsal environments. Observations and recommendations in this report are based upon the sampling of current planning practices and expected future requirements as articulated in Joint Vision 2010. Nothing in this report should be construed as impacting doctrine. Specific tasks were: (1) to define the mission rehearsal environment; (2) to identify applicable technologies and tools; (3) to assess the maturity and applicability of those technologies and tools; and (4) to provide technology recommendations for demonstrating a prototype system to meet capability shortfalls. Follow-on efforts have been recommended to further define and demonstrate selected methods and means to interface with command, coordination, and intelligence systems to enhance commanders' preparations to decisively control the battlespace.
