Modeling and Simulationto Support Development
and Operational Testing of Integrated Air and
Missile Defense Capability
Presented to the joint session of the Test
Evaluation and System Acquisition and Product
Development forums

• LCDR Paul Ghyzel, USN, JSSEO
• Col Gregory Gross, USAF, DOTE
• Mr. Jim Slaight, UTA

Issue

• Traditional DoD test evaluation production
  representative systems in operationally realistic
  conditions
• Future acquisitions capabilities manifested in
  distributed systems utilizing net-centric
  concepts and emphasizing joint interoperability
• Future TE that relies solely on production
  systems in the field will be cost and
  logistically prohibitive

Integrated Air and Missile Defense

• Today
• Weapon System Engagements Constrained by
  Procedural Controls, Target ID and Organic Sensor
  Limitations
• Joint Defense Capabilities Constrained by
  Inadequate Interoperability Among Weapon Systems,
  Sensors, and BMC4I

• 2010
• Single Integrated Air Picture
• Integrated Fire Control
• Combat ID
• Automated Battle Management Aids

4
IAMD and IABM

• Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD)
• Joint capability implemented among Service
  Partner Programs
• Integrated Architecture Behavior Model (IABM)
• Ideal Joint IAMD Battle Management Command and
  Control (BMC2) functionality
• JSSEO develops in spirals from Capstone
  Requirements Documents (CRD) Key Performance
  Parameters (KPP)
• JSSEO delivers in increments to Partner Programs
• Partner Programs implement in combat systems

Capstone Test Evaluation Master Plan

• Establishes rigorous TE approach for IAMD
  capability that spans multiple programs of all
  Services
• Resolve challenges of distributed development
  system
• Integrate MS, HWIL Live events to most
  effectively meet test objectives
• Align TE activities of JDEP Technical Framework
  to support IABM development and TE
• Establish methods tools acceptable to DT, OT
  communities to support testing of
  Service-specific implementations
• Engaging DOTE, Service OTAs, Service programs
• Drafted in collaboration with community
• Comments dispositioned at JSSEO and incorporated
  in subsequent revisions

10
Verification Validation

• Performed by JITC
• IABM/Platform Independent Model JSSEO
  responsibility
• MIL-STDs conformance
• JROC-validated requirements verification
• Interoperability assessment
• Combat and C2 Systems PM responsibility
• Developmental Test
• MIL-STDs conformance
• JROC-validated requirements verification
• Operational Test
• IVV of implemented configuration
• Interoperability Certification

11
Operational Test Evaluation

• Tests production representative systems
• Operationally realistic conditions
• Used and maintained by operator representative of
  those in the field
• Last step in sequence of seamless verification
• Contractor testing to development testing to
  independent OT to OTE
• Results in reduced costs, compressed timelines
• Close coordination required between development
  and operational testers
• Capstone TEMP provides the roadmap

12
Operational Test Legislation

• Before a major acquisition program can go to full
  rate production, DOTE must
• Certify that test and evaluation was adequate
• Submit a report to Congress and SECDEF as to the
  operational effectiveness and suitability of the
  system
• Operational Test Evaluation
• Conducted by Operational Test Agencies
• May not be based solely on modeling and
  simulation
• Determine suitability and effectiveness under
  realistic operational conditions
• Systems maintained and used by members that will
  fix/use in combat
• All data must be shared with DOTE

13
Test Evaluation Objectives

• Developed by stakeholders
• Design for Success provide tools to
  developers that enable the system to pass OTE
  the first time
• Provide certified IABM to Partner Program
  Managers
• Developmental Test and Evaluation
• Conformance and interoperability testing
• OTE preparations
• Work with DOTE and Service OTAs
• Identify correct Joint Distributed Engineering
  Plant (JDEP) Technical Framework shortfalls
• Develop roadmap for SIAP OTE
• Improve the JDEP Technical Framework to provide
• Engineering fidelity for Developmental Test
  Evaluation
• Realistic operational conditions for OTE
  preparations

Joint Distributed Engineering Plant(JDEP)
JDEP Technical Framework

• Assets and processes
• owned by different organizations
• reused in different federations to address
  different SoS issues
• centrally coordinated to support reuse and
  access by multiple users for different purposes
• Supports three user communities
• Developers
• engineer interoperability into systems
• Testers
• test and evaluate interoperability among systems
• Operators
• assess operational capabilities of forces

Summary

• Need is for high fidelity tests in a realistic
  environment
• Repeatable
• Relatively inexpensive
• Modeling simulation should be able to meet the
  need
• DOTE, JSSEO and the Services working to improve
  the tools
• Benefits of successful effort
• Decreased burden on operational forces
• Fielding operational systems quicker cheaper
• MS leave behinds available for future use
