Overview

• Definition of DMO
• Relationship of DMO to DMT
• Relationship of DMO to Joint Synthetic
  Battlespace (JSB)
• Examples Use of JSB
• Current DMO Vector
• Transformation Toward DMO Vision

3
DMO Vision and Goals

• Vision Full-Spectrum Battlespace Dominance
  in Joint and Coalition Operations, both Kinetic
  and Non-Kinetic, Through Integration of Live,
  Virtual, and Constructive Assets

• Goals
• Integrate and Assess War-Altering Capabilities
  Across Compartments and Tribes Before Crises -
  Judge the Value to Combat Actions
• Provide a Force Seasoned to Fight as if They Had
  Been in Combat in that Battlespace Before
• - Combat Experience Before Combat
• Information Superiority and Predictive
  Battlespace Awareness through Improved Decision
  Support
• - Anticipate and Counter Enemy Actions

Relationship of DMO to DMT
Missing Logistics, Mobility, Space, ISR, AOC,
Other C2
5
Relationship of DMO to JSB

• DMO Depends on the Joint Synthetic Battlespace
  (JSB) the electronic representation of the
  world
• DMO Requires JSB to Link ISR, Shooters, AOC,
  Space, SOF in a Battlespace of Their Choosing
• DMO will Leverage JSB Improvements Driven by
  OtherUsers Analysis, Warfighter (DMO including
  DMT), andAcquisition/Joint Distributed
  Engineering Plant (JDEP)
• DMO Defines JSB Operations and Training
  Requirements
• DMO Focuses JSB on Direct Support to Warfighter

Pioneering DMO Use of JSB for Special Operations

• Team Training via High Fidelity Linked
  Simulators and Constructive Simulations Using
  Representative Battlespaces - Mission Ready
  Teams
• Covert Mission Rehearsal On Station in
  Simulators and Using Deployed Simulation
  Capability - Teams Seasoned for Combat in that
  Battlespace
• Fused ISR and Predictive Information Integrated
  for Crisis Action Planning and Decision
  Support
• - Our Forces Reacting Faster than the Enemy

• Capabilities Viewed by SECAF in April 2002 at
  19th SOS, Hurlburt
• SECAF Was Impressed with Progress in Desert
  Pivots and with Live-Virtual Call for Fire
  Demo using Blue Force Tracker

DMO Center of Excellence (DMOC)

• Clearinghouse for Scenarios, Databases, Other
  DMO Resources
• Focal Point for Warfighters - Schedule Virtual
  Flag Training/Rehearsal
• Link an Ever-Increasing Circle of ISR, Space,
  SOF, C2, Shooters
