The Joint Warfare System (JWARS) is a modeling and simulation application being developed by the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD). JWARS is being developed as a state-of-the-art, constructive simulation providing multi-sided and balanced representation of joint theater warfare. To meet this requirement, JWARS requires the development of computer generated forces across the four US services plus coalition, neutral, and threat forces. The JWARS Development Team has capitalized on the JWARS prototyping experience to evolve what is now called the JWARS Battlespace Entity (BSE). The BSE is realized in both a software structure and a related data structure. Moreover, the BSE may be used to represent more than forces. The BSE is now designed to enable the simulation of operational headquarters, operational forces, assets of operational forces, and installations. Operational headquarters include the JTF Headquarters and the Component Headquarters (Joint Force Air Component Command, Joint Force Maritime Component Command, Joint Force Land Component Command, and Joint Force Special Operations Component Command). Operational forces down to resolution unit level include ground maneuver brigades, air mission elements (one or more identically configured aircraft), and ship. Assets of operational forces are modeled on an exception basis only, examples may include ballistic missile transport-erector-launchers and individual aircraft. Installations include major transportation nodes as well as operational airbases and tactical assembly areas.
