Simulation UsesSimulation Uses• Command Post Exercises (CPX) – collective

• Deployable JFHQ – JTLS

• Staff College Course – individual • JOPS - Wargame Operational Plan – JTLS

• JTAC Basic Course – individual • CAS simulation – VBS2

• UN Military Observers Course – individual• Virtual Patrol Teams – VBS2

• Joint Operations Planning Course – individual• Planning Process (COA Analysis) – JSWAT

Virtual Battlespace (VBS2)Virtual Battlespace (VBS2)

• Best for Individual training • Tactical level procedures• Plan scenarios – 2D• Immerse on execution – 3D • Joint and Civilian Systems/Infrastructure• Light user footprint• Heavy technical development • COTS software/hardware

• Use: UNMO and JTAC Training

UN Military Observer Course UN Military Observer Course (UNMOC)(UNMOC)

- Virtual Patrol Teams- Virtual Patrol Teams

• drive mission route• encounter range of scenarios

• map to ground skills• effective Radio comms• procedural responses• deal with ethical dilemmas

Joint Terminal Attack Controller Joint Terminal Attack Controller (JTAC)(JTAC)

- Sensor Targeting Training- Sensor Targeting Training

• Train JTAC to ‘talk on’ sensor to the target• Simulation enables:

• reduced cost training environment• control environment (night, weather, smoke)• introduce noise (disable video, degrade radio comms)

JTAC talks sensor onto target – Simulated Comms Net

Joint Seminar Wargame Joint Seminar Wargame Adjudication Tool (JSWAT)Adjudication Tool (JSWAT)

• Assists in adjudication of

seminar wargames • Operational level • Orbat flexibility• Rapid force lay down• Map overlays, imagery• Alternate COAs• Branches and sequels• Turn based adjudication• Tailorable adjudication

• movement• detection • combat• log

• Export capability for briefs• Light footprint (technical/user)• ADO DSTO developed

• Use: JOPC wargames

JTLS 2011 ActivitiesJTLS 2011 ActivitiesDemonstrations

• Joint Combined Training Capability (JCTC)• Reside in JOC J7• Lack operational level joint simulation (JCATS only)• Potential for JTLS-OneSAF-VBS2 federation

• Amphibious Task Force (ATF) Staff• Force 2030

• new amphibious ships (2 x LHD) – arrive 2014/15 ?• ATF staff on board

• SAS/HEALT schedules key part of any assault• Successfully demonstrated in JTLS• High level of detail (ARU/HRUs on Helo/Boats and re-attach)

JTLS Future FocusJTLS Future FocusJoint Staff College Wargames

• Conducted regularly over last 10 years at MAJ(E) level• Executive keen to see re-invigorated • Building business case

• Seeking Staff College - Joint Wargame Examples • Identify Benefits

• Virtual sim easy (e.g. $ saved with reduced flying hours)• Quantifying tangible benefits of SIM to JOPS wargame

• Practice warfighting art • Appropriate application of force• C4I system familiarization

• Reduce delivery cost• Puckster overhead, train quicker

• Examine alternate wargame constructs • turn lengths, speeds, C2 interfaces
