COMELEC AHWG M&S DGA \ DS \ CATOD Diapositive N°11 MINISTÈRE DE LA DÉFENSE

COMELEC AHWG M&S  The AHWG M&S objective is to leverage the use of simulation for operational applications for the benefit of the German and French armed forces, in order:  to assist the military community in assessing and adopting simulation in order to ease and improve current activities as well as to solve existing issues  to help the armed forces to better express and refine their requirements in demonstrating the possible use of simulation for these purposes  to address military concerns when technology and standards are mature enough to be deployed for operational application domains DGA \ DS \ CATOD Diapositive N°12 MINISTÈRE DE LA DÉFENSE

COMELEC AHWG M&S  The AHWG M&S has to perform experimentations to demonstrate the real benefits of the architectures and processes under assessment. Demonstrations to the military end-users are also required to capture collections of requirements and to drive the way ahead  It addresses all relevant topics dealing with the operational use of simulation :  Simulation to simulation connection  C2 systems and simulation interoperability  Database generation  Validation and verification of simulation models  Modeling of operational tactics and procedures  Application domains such as decision support, mission rehearsal, mission planning, training, after-action review DGA \ DS \ CATOD Diapositive N°13 MINISTÈRE DE LA DÉFENSE

COMELEC AHWG M&S  Current statement: Explore and improve technical possibilities for automated transfer of data between French an German information systems and simulation systems  Current status:  Focus on the usage of C-BML  Potential users are national troops as well as bilateral organisations (French / German Brigade and EUROCORPS)  Experimentations performed since 2005  Demonstration to French / German Brigade in January 2011  User confirmes the potential for improvements in future operations DGA \ DS \ CATOD Diapositive N°14 MINISTÈRE DE LA DÉFENSE Folie 14

AHWG 2010 Experimentation (1/2)  Assess C-BML technology to  identify gaps and propose improvements  develop procedures for a smooth use  demonstrate its capabilities to fulfill military requirements  Experiment relevant military uses-cases where C-BML would benefit to the commander in  improving staff activities  saving resources and time DGA \ DS \ CATOD Diapositive N°15 MINISTÈRE DE LA DÉFENSE

AHWG 2010 Experimentation (2/2)  Two military uses-cases  Planning  Mission rehearsal (training)  Two architectures involving German and French  C2 systems: HEROS and C2LG C2 surrogate - SICF  Simulations: KORA – APLET  Armed Forces officers from  German Center for transformation  French Doctrine command DGA \ DS \ CATOD Diapositive N°16 MINISTÈRE DE LA DÉFENSE
