• First Web-based Version Of JTLS Released
• JTLS Air Functionality Improvements
• Air Working Group In Feb 05 Elected 35 Air ECPs
  For JTLS
• JTLS Version 3.1 Released In Feb 06 Contained
  Approximately One-third Of These
• JTLS Version 3.2 Completed These ECPs (Apr 07)
• Stop Support For GIAC, Genis Solaris
• Mar 2005 Stop Funding Support For GIAC GENIS
  (Version 3.0 Before)
• Oct 2006 Funding Only LINUX O/S Development
  (Version 3.2 Beyond)
• Architecture Improvements
• Version 3.2.0.0 Is The First Version To Execute
  Using 32 Or 64-bit LINUX O/S
• Final JTLS Program (Graphical Database Program)
  Supported By GIAC Was Replaced With WHIP
  Interface In Version 3.2

22
Current Efforts

• JMRM Federation Development
• Provide A Scalable Federation To Support
  Multi-Echelon Training (Tactical Through
  Strategic)
• JTLS Joint Conflict And Tactical Simulation
  (JCATS) Are The Warfighting/Conflict Simulations
• C4I Enhancements
• Developed JTLS Operational Interface (JOI) To
  Stimulate Various C4I Systems With OTH-GOLD And
  TADIL-J Via Network Or Serial Feeds
• SOUTHCOM Exercise FA/PANAMAX 07 (Sep 07) Was The
  First Exercise To Use TADIL-J/Link 16 Capability
  Of JOI
• JTLS Maritime Functionality Improvements
• The Sept 05 Maritime Working Group Identified
  Shortfalls In Operational Training Support
• Many ECPs Will Be Incorporated Into JTLS Version
  Release 3.3 3.4 To Fix These Shortfalls
• JTLS Stability Reliability

  Subordinate Echelons
• Stimulate Air And Missile Warning Devices Of
  Theater Ballistic Missile (TBM) Threats
• Stimulate Advanced Field Artillery Tactical Data
  Systems (AFTADS)

25
Future Efforts (cont) (Jan 08 Dec 08 Vr3.4)

• JMRM Federation (Vr2)
• Stability And Reliability With Added
  Functionality
• Civil Environment And Behaviors
• Natural Disasters
• Response To Asymmetric Threats And Attacks
• Consequence Management
• Medical And Chemical, Biological, Radiation,
  Nuclear Environment (CBRNE) Modeling
• Produce Factors Affecting The Health And Illness
  Of A Population That Provides Casualty Generation
  Over Time, Morbidity (Degree Of Severity) And
  Mortality Numbers To Determine Impact On
  Available Medical Resources
• Identification Of Medical Shortfalls That Would
  Generate A Federal Response And Subsequently A
  DoD Response
