Mission: As the Centre of Excellence for Joint CD

1
Aim To provide an overview of CFEC, Canadas
developing Joint Concept Development and
Experimentation capability, activities and future.
Mission As the Centre of Excellence for Joint
CDE, CFEC will lead the exploration of emerging
concepts and the experimentation of capabilities
that support CF transformation.

Outline

• Background
• CFEC Activities
• CWID
• MNE
• UAV/IISRA
• Future CFEC

3
CF Transformation

• Major initiatives
• Development of CANADA COM and domestic regional
  operational HQ structure
• Development of CEF COM for command and control of
  Cdn expeditionary operations
• Development of High Readiness Standing
  Contingency Task Force
• Realigning/refining Force Generation and
  Development activities
• Promotion of greater interagency, Team Canada
  approach to operations
• Apply Effects-Based and Net-Enabled concepts
  of operations

OverviewWhy CF Experimentation?

• Identify promising concepts, methods, technology
  benefits
• Minimize risk and identify implications
  (training, infrastructure, etc) of major
  change/transformation
• Apply scientific method
• Test new concepts without affecting current
  operations
• As experimentation is NOT an exercise, operation
  or project, it is more risk tolerant

• The world has changed the CF needs new
  operating concepts and force structures to meet
  new roles

Bottom Line A more coherent, logical and
transparent force development process that
reduces acquisition risk and timelines

C2I2

• Hypothesis If CF to remain interoperable with
  transformational allies, then CF will have to
  identify, investigate, evaluate, modify and adopt
  transformational C2I2 concepts applicable to
  future CF ops.
• Overview Area under continuous concept
  development and refinement, therefore, current
  focus is on promoting interoperability with
  coalition partners. Significant concepts include
  Effects Based Approach (EBA) and Net Enabled
  Operations (NEOps)
• Eval Means Research Studies, MNEs, CWIDs,
  Wargaming, IISRA Experimentation (ALIX).

Multinational ExperimentationActivities
Promoting international and interagency
interoperability
12
Coalition Warrior Interoperability Demonstration
AIM CWID provides a venue for the U.S. and the
multinational community to investigate C4ISR
solutions that focus on relevant and timely
objectives for enhancing coalition
interoperability. Promising information
technologies that can be moved into operational
use within 18 months are targeted.
13
CWID 2005 Scenario Overview

• Credible Terrorist Threats gt US, Canada, Mexico
• Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP)
• Terrorist attacks on commercial targets
• Disruption of transportation routes
• Terrorist attacks on population centres using
  improvised CRBN
• Natural disasters

15
Aim To explore concepts and supporting tools
for Effects Based Approach to Operations
(Knowledge, Planning, Execution, Assessment)
within a coalition environment involving
Stability Operations to assist the development
of future processes, organizations and
technologies at the Coalition Task Force (CTF)

Atlantic Littoral ISR Experiment (ALIX) Aim and
Objectives

• Aim
• To integrate exploit multiple sensors in an
  Integrated ISR Architecture including an
  assessment of UAV employment

• Objectives
• To understand IISRA requirements that increase
  force effectiveness
• To understand MALE/HALE UAV BLOS requirements for
  CF employment/acquisition.
• To explore and understand the tenets of
  Network-Enabled Operations
