2. Director J7 Vision
We will maintain interoperability with our coalition and interagency partners.

3. DD J7 Joint and Coalition Warfighting Mission
“On behalf of the CJCS, the Deputy Director J7 Joint and Coalition Warfighting supports the training and development of Joint, interagency and multinational capabilities in order to meet the present and future operational needs of the Joint and Coalition force.”
DD J7 JCW 100 Day Plan
Coalition Integration. Joint Warfighters will continue to operate as part of both standing and ad hoc Coalition Forces. Coalition integration is an embedded aspect of everything we do. We will take full advantage of our unique opportunity to collaborate, train, and develop capability with our Coalition partners.

4. M&S Architecture Objectives
Provide a production level Live, Virtual and Constructive (LVC) architecture that can support Joint, Coalition and Service level training exercises at reduced cost
Capitalize on existing capabilities and it must support immediate exercise requirements as well as long range goals
2) Provide a useful technical specification to support efforts across the training community
Enable Home Station LVC Training
Support Cross-Service Training
Support Coalition Training

7. Challenges with Current M&S Approach
Federation becoming increasingly large and unmanageable
Costs increasing to upgrade existing and new federates
Resource-intensive integration of new federates and support
Tightly-coupled simulations
Bridges and gateways often required to integrate new and emerging technologies
Many redundancies and inconsistencies in data representation

8. Next-Generation M&S Capability
Rapidly utilize real-world source data
Cloud-based Rapid Data Generation (RDG) and distribution capability
Support operational Courses Of Actions (COA) development
Support Concept Development with Training
Make simulations smarter / more capable
Open Architecture Principles
Navigate terrain / interpret physical environment and effects
Attempt to apply orders more effectively
Allow faster than real-time simulation without intervention
Dynamic Intelligent Control Agent (scalable in cloud)
Reduce role-player dependency
Abstract User Interfaces to lower the barrier to use
Invoke only services needed by user
On demand access to scenario repositories
Users interact with common terms and symbols (Military & Civilian systems)
Interact with C2 systems

9. Fundamental Precepts Apply Open Architecture Principles
Provide incremental yearly deliveries with the ability to roll back to a previous year’s increment.
Interoperability is Not Free
Provide Central Management / Governance
Synergy and efficiencies gained by aligning current efforts
Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) Prototype
Using JTLS, JCATS, JLOD and VBS2
Demonstrate Operational, Tactical & Virtual/Gaming Training Capabilities

10. HLA 1516 Evolved Terms of Reference
Dynamic Link Compatibility – That means federates can switch which RTI they use without recompiling/relinking their application.
Modular FOMs – Modular FOMs allow federation developers to break up their object model into useful parts (called FOM Modules). Then each federate only needs to know about the FOM Modules it uses.
Update Rate Reduction – Allows federates to tell the RTI they can only handle data updates below a certain rate. This allows update rate constrained federates to participate in busy federations without bogging down.
Better Fault Tolerance – HLA now has a mechanism for notifying Federates when another Federate becomes disconnected from the network. It means when something goes wrong, everyone will understand what went wrong quickly.
WEB Services API (WSDL) - The HLA Standard now defines a Web Service Description Language (WSDL) “binding”. This is similar to the C++, or Java bindings, but for the Web.
Based on the WSDL code, it is possible to generate code in different programming languages. It is transparent to a federation whether a specific federate uses the C++, Java or WSDL API.
Major benefits of the WSDL API include the support for numerous newer and older languages as well as the ease of deployment across wide area networks.
The major long term benefit of the WSDL API is that it promotes and supports the concept of simulations as readily available services provided within and between enterprises.
