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
