What constructive models and simulations contribute to training for the current fight? The current models/simulations bring specific capabilities to represent the Contemporary Operational Environment. Model Corps Battle Simulation (CBS) Joint Conflict and Tactical Simulation (JCATS) Tactical Simulation (TACSIM) Independent Simulation Model (ISM) Joint Deployment and Logistics Model (JDLM) Joint Asymmetric Warfare Simulation (JAWS) Joint Land Component Constructive Training Federation Simulation Support for the COE Specific Functionality Multi-resolution models, 5 Sides/Factions, Digital C4I stimulation, selected COE (IEDs, etc.) Entity-resolution models, Unlimited Sides/Factions, Digital C4I stimulation, MOUT, selected COE (IEDs, etc.) Visualization sensor systems (UAV, JSTARS, COMINT, ELINT, HUMINT, etc.) Automated Master Scenario Events List (MSEL) events and intelligence information injected into scenarios Digital C4I stimulation, In-Transit Visibility (ITV) ‘Non-kinetic’ factors (Cultural, Political, Religious) and effects

Slide6: 

Question: “What are the limitations on CBS with respect to the current fight (Iraq) scenario?” Answer: CBS is an aggregate simulation; the detail of both the visible models and the underlying rules that govern behavior approximate reality, but do not replicate it. The goal of an aggregate simulation is a ‘reasonable representation of reality’. However, the current version of CBS is much better than previous iterations. ‘Old’ CBS – ‘Cold War’ ‘New’ CBS – ‘COE’ Platoon to Battalion Models Dismounted Squad/Vehicle to Battalion Models Unit ‘Center of Mass’ Location Specific Squad/Vehicle Location Low Resolution Combat (Bn) Medium Resolution Combat (Sqd/Plt/Co) Combat Damage ‘Averaged’ to Unit Combat Damage to Specific Squad/Vehicle Attrition (Biggest Force Wins) Maneuver (Position & Synchronization Wins) Blue v. Red Multiple Sides (5) Stand-Alone Execution (Maneuver) Interoperate with JCATS (Entity Models, MOUT) Support to analog C2 Support to digital C2 Bottom Line, CBS is still an aggregate simulation, albeit much better at providing COE/SOSO environments than previously, especially for Training Audiences at Division/UEx and higher levels. But, the limitations inherent in an aggregate simulation still exist, and in order to provide support for training in the full range of military operations, CBS must be federated with other simulation tools.

Virtual Trainers: 

Virtual Trainers Improvements continue Immersive Environment Baghdad Terrain Database now includes Green Zone with 10K radius and 10K structures, will eventually include every structure approx. 200K in the area Indigenous population replication, although non-interactive within the simulation Look and feel of Baghdad replicated with street traffic, trash, etc. Beginnings of Virtual Mission Rehearsal capability Not geo-specific terrain and building detail, limited terrain area Conducted prior to deployment No Close Combat Tactical Trainers (CCTT) sets in either Iraq or Afghanistan Other Training Capabilities Virtual Convoy trainers Hood to Kirtland (JCAS training) ONESAF: Modeling new behaviors SW Blockings (FBCB2)
