Command, Control, Communications, Computer, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) Modeling and Simulation Using Joint Semi-Automated Forces (JSAF)

摘要

The objective for this effort was to establish a flexible C4ISR modeling and simulation framework based on the Joint Semi-Automated Forces (JSAF) software. This framework is to support cooperation and collaboration with Modeling and Simulation (M&S) efforts throughout AFRL. This effort involved the installation, maintenance, operation, training and interfacing of the JSAF simulation. This effort resulted in the installation of several versions of JSAF including supporting operating systems and MARCI; a tool to control multiple copies of JSAF or other federates from a single workstation. This effort investigated conflicts associated with installing and operating Soar intelligent agents within JSAF. Various Compact Terrain Database's (CTDB) were obtained and configured for JSAF. Demonstration scenarios were developed to analyze its capabilities along with a small Serbia-based scenario to support the JBI program. Other C4ISR systems and tools were investigated for inclusion within the framework. A model abstraction experiment was designed using the ALARM radar model in order to compare behaviors against those found in a comparable JSAF radar model. Attempts were made to integrate JSAF with a JView/Java-based visualization application via an HLA backbone. Many lessons learned resolved from this effort with respect to integration, collaboration and operation of systems and C4ISR frameworks.
