Simulation-to-C4I Interoperability Overarching IPT (SIMCI OIPT) Vision: Achieve full interoperability between Modeling and Simulation (M&S) systems and Battle Command (BC) systems as an integral part of the acquisition process, from capabilities determination through fielding and sustainment. Mission: Provide policy, process, organizational, and technical recommendations to Army Leadership that will improve M&S and BC systems interoperability. Interoperability of BC Current and Future M&S Systems Shared Solutions Battle M&S Reusable Components Command Common Common Processes Data Standards Architectures 3 09E-SIW-025

SIMCI BC – M&S Interoperability Web Service Project • Provide standard Net-Centric Enterprise Services (NCES) compatible web-service interface between M&S and BC which can be re- used readily. • Provide standard secure JC3IEDM compliant mediation capability for use by BC and M&S systems. • Provide standard NCES compatible web service for Battle Management Language support for automated Tasking (part of Operations Order) and Reports. 5 09E-SIW-025

Scripted BML Architecture 14 09E-SIW-025
Scripted BML WS Design • Basic operations: push and pull – Currently, servers for SQL and RI databases – Scripts implement BML Orders and Reports • Script defines implementation of Business Objects (constituents of the higher-level BML grammar) over the JC3IEDM data model – BO is an XML subtree rooted at a defined node in the XML file – can invoke other BO • Interpreter uses two files plus WS input – Mapping file contains script – BML schema file provides necessary context 09E-SIW-025
Scripted Interpreter Advantages • A way to implement composite transactions where: – Validation requires only understanding of the object and JC3IEDM (but not Java) – Changes to the mapping are simple to implement – New business objects are easy to define and implement • Student did six of them in two weeks while learning • Scripting language provides a highly concise definition of BML mapping – SISO C-BML should use it for that 16 09E-SIW-025

Conclusion • This project will result in standard interfaces for BC to M&S interoperability that will support both current capabilities and future capabilities. – It will support more efficient and effective transition to NCES and Army JC3IEDM compliance. – It has been estimated that this project will provide for significant cost savings as a result of becoming a standard M&S to BC interface standard. • The modifications/extensions to the C4I Adapter capabilities (including the RI) will be included in C4I Adapter employment managed by PM OneSAF. • The DMS (including the RI) will be fielded by PM BC as part of the BCCS within the ABCS system of systems. • The tools and reusable components (including the RI) will be provided along with the JC3IEDM SDK for standard 20 common Army use (M&S and BC). 09E-SIW-025
Summary • The project will transition many products: • The modifications/extensions to the C2 Adapter capabilities (including the BML interface) will be included in C2 Adapter employment managed by PM OneSAF. • The DMS (including the RI and BML interface) will be included as part of the BCCS within the ABCS system of systems. • The tools and reusable components (including the RI) will be provided along with the US- JC3IEDM SDK for standard common Army use. • Planning for integrated CM and processes for the maintenance of products and documentation will be included in standard Army processes. 21 09E-SIW-025
