The Emergence of US ISR and Foreign Forces Tools,
Models and Authoritative Data to SupportDoD-wide
Modeling and Simulation (MS) Activities

• Gary L. Waag, BoozAllen Hamilton
• Brian J. Dubas, BoozAllen Hamilton

2
Purpose of Paper

• To describe an effort to identify the US ISR and
  FORREP needs of the greater DoD MS community,
  and develop a more robust catalog of available
  resources (data, models, tools)
• This effort will aid interoperability and reuse
  across DoD MS activities by shortening the
  resource acquisition time

DIA MS Office Resultedfrom Senior-Level
Direction

• 1991 DepSecDef assigned DoD MS management to
  USD(AT)
• Oct 95
• USD(AT) signed Master Plan instructing Director
  of DIA to coordinate intelligence MS across US
  Intelligence Community (IC)
• Military Intelligence Board recognized importance
  of Defense Intel role, prompted by Unified
  Commands requirements of...
• ...need for more authoritative representation of
  foreign forces, and
• improving intelligence training while reducing
  support requirements of current US intelligence
  models

5
DIA MS Office Resultedfrom Senior-Level
Direction (contd)

• Feb 96 MIBs actions led to DIA appointments
• JSIMS Intelligence Executive Agent (EA)
• JSIMS Development Agent (DA) for US intelligence
  functionality
• Jul 96 DIA appointed DoD-wide MS Executive
  Agent for Intelligence (MSEA(I))
• DIA establishes Defense Intelligence Modeling and
  Simulation Office (DIMSO) to support and
  coordinate DoD Intelligence MS missions

New DIA Roles Carry Various Responsibilities

• Providing or coordinating and integrating
  authoritative representations of US ISR systems
  and processes
• Supporting authoritative representation of all
  aspects of foreign forces (FORREP)
• systems
• processes
• entities
• behavior
• Roles reaffirmed in new DoD MS Master Plan,
  DoD 5000.59P

8
DIA has Stepped Out in JSIMS Intelligence EA Role

• Led effort to collect and compile JSIMS
  intelligence requirements from commands and
  services
• Developing methodology to assess satisfaction
• Sponsored Conceptual Model of the Mission Space
  (CMMS) development...
• resulting in numerous JSIMS Formalized Data
  Products capturing US national and theater-level
  intelligence organizations, systems and processes

9
As JSIMS Intelligence DA DIA is Building DOMINO

• DOMINO (Defense Object-oriented Model of
  Intelligence Operations) will model intelligence
  processes, products and systems at JTF and above
• will represent external interfaces to JISE, JIC
  and NMJIC, with functionality
• collection system models will focus on end-to-end
  HUMINT and MASINT

10
DIAs MSEA(I) Roles

• Establishes vision, goals, objectives strategy
  for Defense IC MS
• developing DoD Intelligence MS Master Plan
• Coordinates provision of authoritative
  representations of the intelligence domain
• US intelligence processes
• foreign forces

11
DIAs MSEA(I) ActivitiesTo Date

• Co-sponsored Unit Order of Battle (UOB) Data
  Interchange Format (DIF) and Access Tool
• Sponsored DIA MS Resource Repository (MSRR) node
  to
• provide access to authoritative threat and blue
  intelligence information and resources
• serve as gateway to threat and blue intelligence
  producers
• provide means to distribute information and
  resources to MS user community

13
What we mean by US ISR

• US ISR is the collection of various forms and
  sources of intelligence information
• US ISR enables US forces to perceive and act upon
  the current state of the battlespace
• Realistic US ISR representation must consider the
  various stages of the intelligence cycle
  planning direction, collection, processing,
  production and dissemination
• In simulation, the degree of fidelity and
  resolution to which these real-world systems and
  processes are represented is a function of
  specific program requirements
• Some programs may require detailed representation
  while others may aggregate overall capabilities

14
US ISR across DoD MS driven by Flagship Programs

• Much attention being given by DIA, as well as the
  rest of the DoD MS community, to JSIMS and JWARS
• US ISR requirements are relatively well
  articulated
• Hope is that community can leverage US ISR
  products developed for JSIMS and JWARS
• US ISR requirements of greater DoD MS community
  not well-articulated

15
Foreign Representation (FORREP)Suffers from
Status Quo

• Most programs still favor mirroring friendly
  forces
• JSIMS will represent opposing forces using
  friendly software with unique input data
• Given LRCs and OOTW, such representation may over
  value adversaries capabilities and neglect the
  vast dissimilarities in how they operate
• Potential for invalid results, inaccurate
  analytic conclusions and misleading/negative
  training looms large

Clearer mandate from DoD MS community needed to
drive MSEA(I) activities

17
DIMSO is Cataloging US ISR and FORREP Resources

• Looking beyond resources currently planned for
  the MSRR nodes, DIA is identifying broader
  spectrum of data, tools and models
• Initial focus has been on Intelligence Production
  Center (IPC) products
• MSIC (Missile and Space Intelligence Center)
• NGIC (National Ground Intelligence Center)
• NAIC (National Air Intelligence Center)
• ONI (Office of Naval Intelligence)

18
Findings are Differentiated and Categorized

• We are exploring a variety of issues
• display mechanism
• database structure for search and discovery
• Item descriptions and access information are
  included
• Differentiation is made
• between US ISR and FORREP resources
• between databases, tools, model

19
Resource Examples Include...

• Models Tools
• Electro Optical/Infrared/Surface-to-Air Missile
  one-on-one engagement Model for developing
  countermeasures
• Pathfinder Analyst Tool for the
  operational/tactical environment
• CAMs Aerodynamic Data Tool to support missile
  design
• Data Products
• JSIMS Formalized Data Products
• AN/ALQ-151 (V)2 QUICKFIX-II Division Level SIGINT
  Sensor description
• Tactical Counterintelligence (CI) Operations
  description
• Echelons Above Corps Intelligence Center (EACIC)
  organizational description
• FORDIMS (Foreign Document Information Management
  System) bibliographic descriptions of military
  and technical documents

The MSEA(I)s Success isDependent upon YOU!!

• A vast amount of US ISR and FORREP resources
  exists
• Could be made available to greater MS community
• DIA will continue to take proactive steps
• Market, advertise and otherwise communicate to
  community what resources are currently available
• Solicit current and future needs from broad
  community
• Factor into plans
• making current high-demand resources available
• determining needed new resources and working with
  community to sponsor their development

23
DIA's role as the MSEA(I) is to support YOU!!

• The MSEA(I) role is continuing to mature
• A great wealth of resources are available now or
  can be quickly made so
• MSEA(I) will be aggressive in communicating
  available resources and soliciting your needs
• This will help shape the MSEA(I) of the future
• This will also aid in interoperability and reuse
  by shortening time to
  acquire resources
• We need your input
