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

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

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

JTLS 2008-10001
Feed 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

JTLS 2008-10001
Feed 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

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

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)

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

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

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

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

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
