Battle Management Symposium

Crawling, walking, & running with the Military Scenario Definition Language (MSDL) and Coalition-Battle Management Language (C- BML) for Integrated Initialization and runtime execution 8 April 2011

Import Format versus Native Format

  • Allows MSDL and

specific simulation initialization native formats to evolve at their

  • wn appropriate pace.
  • Allows simulations to

define specific information needs.

  • Allows consistent

scenario starting point for specific simulation initialization

MSDL Road to Balloting (Evolving)

Successful Product Ballot

– 33 Accepts – 1 Reject – 2 No Response PDG Spec Review 28 June 07 Update Specification Balloting Begins Dec 3 – 1 Feb 08 PDG Review Period ~ 2 weeks SAC Review ~ 9 Aug 07 SAC Review Period ~ 4 weeks Balloting Invitation ~ 10 Sept 07 Update Period ~ 2 weeks Comment Collection Begins Resolve Comments

V 1.0 Standard Accepted SISO-STD-007-2008 on 14 October 2008

Balloting Announcement ~ 4 weeks

Primary Elements

  • 9 Primary elements reusing

schema components from

– Base Object Model SISO Standard – JC3IEDM MIP Standard

  • OneSAF-based elements not being

consider for balloting

– Plan – Course of Action – Threats – Units and equipment Enumerations

  • XML Representation allows for

– Structure and type Validation – Business rule validation XML Representation

Specific Recent Experience NATO MSG-085

MSDL

Scemanta JSAF OneSAF APLET VR Forces

  • Crawl phase – Initial demo using 3

month time-box

– Multi-federate initialization from common MSDL file – Consistent Unit/entity mappings – Initial locations – Tactical graphics – Geographic extents

  • Initialization-based federation

agreements

– GDC coordinates

  • Initial battle book development

– Combined spreadsheet

  • Initial participant list

– DEU, ESP, GBR, FRA, SWE, USA

Federate X produces MSDL with ORBAT information Integrator creates master “integrated” scenario (MSDL) file Federates receive master MSDL file and import into end-system Federates modify scenario and save as updated MSDL file Provide to integrator for master update

  • Integration tools – current and

evolving

– Excel to list, identify, and manage all contributed data – Notepad++ for gross edit, cut-and-paste – Visual Basic scripting for gross changes to scenario data

  • Coordinating decisions

– XML namespaces – ScenarioID information – Coordinate system – Environmental extents – Sides and forces – Mixed ORBAT

MSDL + C-BML

Sim Federate 1 Sim Federate 2 Sim Federate 3 Sim Federate 4 Sim Federate 5 Sim Federate 6 MSDL + C-BML Production Federate 1 3 2 4 4 4 4 4

  • Transition federation from

initialization to running state

– Provide planned set of C-BML

  • rders referencing MSDL units,

entities, and tactical graphics in addition to MSDL file

  • Formalize round trip

initialization process using MSDL and appropriate federation processes

– Initialize Decision Support System (DSS) with original MSDL save output from DSS in MSDL and C-BML formatted files – Use new set of files to initialize remaining federates

  • More complex initialization-based federation

agreements

– Introduce unique identifier federate ranges for important items: units, entities, messages, reports, etc. – Introduce standards-based entity & unit naming conventions (Distributed Interactive Simulation enumerations) – Create or locate MSDL element to house enumeration or code list – Identify FOM for future integrated HLA federation activity – Introduce multiple terrain extents – Formalize sequence for drawing tactical graphics – Continue integrator tool development to provide early, pre-initialization-time federate feedback

  • Introduce Command C2

Systems

– Simple C2 initialization of the Joint Advanced Deep Operations Coordination System (JADOCS) with friendly ORBAT

  • initialize George Mason

University web-services with MSDL

  • Extend MSDL participation
  • Enhance battle book
  • Provide feedback to MSDL and

C-BML PDGs

  • Multi-Simulation and C2

federation init process

  • Fully integrated C-BML and

MSDL

  • Demonstrate in operationally

useful event

  • Extend C-BML/MSDL

participation

  • Feedback to MSDL/C-BML

PDGs

  • Pave way for rapid C2/M&S

federation initialization and runtime using MSDL/C-BML
