8. Concept of Model/Entity Resolution • Three levels in OneSAF: standard, autonomous, and focused • Interactions between entities of different levels of resolution are tested • Allows users to compose the level of resolution where it is needed Focused (High) Autonomous (Medium) Standard (Low)

9. Things We Like • Development Process • Early & Continuous Domain Participation • Single Development Facility • Reuse (Emphasis on Standardization) • Continuous User Assessments • Incremental Development (program Blocks) • Composer Tools • Behavior • Unit • Entity • Combat Physical Models • Varying Fidelity Capability • Standard Algorithms • Physical Model Verification Testing Reuse, Standardization, Combat Physical Models, Frequent Testing, Composability

10. Combat Physical Model Combat Physical Models…. provide the mathematical representation of combat systems and their interactions with the environment and other entities. Physical models may be represented at multiple levels of fidelity. Battle Environment Target Acquisition Attrition Communication Movement Sustainment

18. Summary • Domain co development efforts currently ongoing using OneSAF v1.x • Expect more co development efforts with the release of OneSAF v1.5 • Some domain use with OneSAF versions 1.5 & 2.0 (transitioning, shakeouts,etc.) • Expect significant increase in domain use with OneSAF release of v3.0 Due to various levels of M&S experience within the RDA domain expect some organizations to transition to OneSAF earlier than others
