2. Current JTLS-GO Analysis Effort
Approximately Every Other Month
Conduct Two-Week Analysis For US INDO-PACOM
It Is Run At A High Classification Level
So I Cannot Discuss Specifics
But In Doing The Analysis There Have Been Some
Insight Into Improvements Needed
Process Lessons Learned

3. Analysis Improvements Cross Run Retrievals
PostgreSQL Opens Many Possibilities
Ability To Large AAR Collection Ability
Currently, Due To Size Limitations
Only One Run Held In AAR Database At A Time
Makes It Impossible To Conduct Cross-Run Retrievals
Our Current Batch Process Capability Works As Follows

7. Analysis Improvements Cross Run Retrievals
JS/J7 Has Approved Some Funding For This Effort
Post JTLS 6.0
Implementation May Not Need To Wait For JTLS 6.1
Issues
Given Expected Current Funding Level
Implementation Feasible
Pretty Output May Not Be Feasible
Charts, Graphs, Etc

8. Analysis Improvements Cross Run Retrievals
In The Past R&A Hoped That
User Community Would Develop
Own Useful Queries and Reports
Develop “Pretty” Output Capabilities
Share This Effort With Entire Community
R&A Would Concentrate On Making Raw Data Available
This Is Not Working As Planned
Expect Concerted Effort To Start To Deliver “Pretty”

9. Analysis Improvements Order Reuse
Currently A JTLS Order Looks Like This
Satellite With Three Points
Issue Is Sensor – This Is The Integer Index Of The Sensor
If Database Changes
Index Changes
Orders In Save Files No Longer Any Good

10. Analysis Improvements Order Reuse
Problem Is Not Simply Sensors
All Permanent Entity Indices Cause Issues
Once Permanent Entities Removed
Problem Will Be Solved

11. Lessons Learned Analysis Is Full-Time Job
Coming In Two-Weeks Every Other Month
Need To Update Database – Current Intel Information
This Takes Too Much Of Available Analysis Time
Intel Updates Should Be Implemented Immediately
Analysis Requires Model Expertise
Knowledge Of Inner Workings Of The Model
This Does Not Need To Be R&A,
Still How To Impart This Information

12. Lessons Learned Need Off Cycle Work Habits Need Better Drawing Tools
Setup Runs – Go Away
Cannot Afford To Come Back On Monday Morning
Find Model Crash Or An Issue Happened On Saturday
Need Better Drawing Tools
Besides “Pretty” Graphs and Charts
Map Annotation Mandatory
Could Use “Fake” Icon Placement On Map

13. Lessons Learned Higher Classification
Does Not Necessarily Mean Better Results
Do Not Over Classify
Limits Available Analysis Help
Limits Results Audience
Examples Higher Classified Source Says
Weapon Range 112 Not 105 KM
Will Not Make Much Difference
Enemy Will Have 3 More Submarines In 2025
Will Make A Difference
