JTLS Direct Link To MUSE
Ellen F Roland
JTLS Development Team Leader
JTLS Program Vision
• Use the Joint Theater Level Simulation to
meet Joint, Coalition and Service training
requirements while maintaining our M&S
support and partnership with U.S. Allies,
NATO, PfP countries and Federal
Agencies to maximize our users’ return
on investment through a flexible,
scalable and deployable simulation.

Decision To Go Direct
• SOA Manifesto
– Business Value Over Technical Strategy
• Government Tied To Strongly To HLA Solution
• MUSE Team and R&A Team Felt Direct Most Cost
Beneficial
– Strategic Goals Over Project-Specific Benefits
• What Are They – Cost Effective Environment
– Intrinsic interoperability over custom integration
• Direct Connect Contrary To This Rule

Decision To Go Direct
• SOA Manifesto
– Shared Services Not Specific Purpose Software
• We Viewed MUSE As The Service
• Not How We Linked To The Service
– Flexibility Over Optimization
• Direct Connect Much More Flexible
– Evolutionary Refinement Not Initial Perfection
• JTLS Has Always Followed Rule
• The Method Of Integration Has No Impact

Detailed Naval Damage
• Riding Low
• Fire Size
– Forward, Aft, Full
• List Direction
– Small, Medium, Large
• Oil Slick
– Port, Starboard
• List Position
– With Debris, No Debris
• Oil Slick Location
– Forward, Aft, Middle
– Around, Trailing
• Fire Type
– Smoke, Fire, Both

Consistent Entity Data
• JTLS Entity Level Simulation (ELS)
– Uses Templates
•
•
•
•
Admin Move
Defend
Attack Mounted
Attack Dismounted
– Entity Priority Positions
• When 1 Gets Killed, Lower Priority Entity Moves In

Consistent Entity Data
• Large Number Of Entities
– We Do Not Publish Each Location
– Command Objects
• Has Location
• Each Entity Belong to Command Object
– Has Offset From Command Object
– Movement
• If Command Object Moves - All Sub-Entities Move
• If Entity Offset Moves – Only It Moves

Change DIS Codes
• JTLS As An Operational Level Game
– Significant Difference In What Is Important
• Tactical Level Model
– Activity In Terrorist Camp
» Man Smoking a Pipe
» Individual Cars Coming And Going
• Operational Level Model
– SSM Sites Preparing To Launch
– SAM Sites With Non-Full Load

Change DIS Code
• Proposed Two Methods
– Within JLVC
• Use FOM Characteristics
• Long Lead Time – Because All Must Agree
– Change DIS Code
• Could Not Do Within JLVC
• One Of The Primary Reasons Move To Direct Link

Current Status
• 64-Bit DLL JODA Libraries
– Developed - In Testing
– Means JTLS Does Need To Maintain
• First Integration Test – October 2012
• Second Integration Test – November 2012
• Demonstration
– JTLS International Users Conference
– 11 and 12 December

Future Capabilities
• JTLS Feed Unrealistic
– Road Network
• Automatic Vignette Generation
– When Convoy Loading / Offloading
– Have People Acomplishing the Task
