IntroductionYou are? We are
IntroductionYou are? We are
GE Army, Heeresamt I 1 (4) (German Army Office)– Responsible to build up a M&S
• Integrated System of Systems / Integrated Data Network
– to serve National and Allies with validated data– from distributed and heterogeneous data sources
• OR-Studies for Army Development & Procurement• OR-Support for Military Operations (DST)• Training & Exercises
IABG mbH– Their industrial partner with long time experience in
• NATO Data Administration Standards and • Pioneer in national Data Administration for C2-Systems

OutlineOutline
Our Battlefield Analysis– What is the definition of BLUE & RED in our problem
domain? So what is our MISSION?
The Art of War– What is our philosophy, strategy, techniques and
weapons?
Fighting our Battle– A glance on our actual and near future results &
capabilities
Points of Contact & Questions

Our Battlefield AnalysisBLUE
Our Battlefield AnalysisBLUE
Point of View– We are outside any specific OR discipline or level
Every bit of algorithm, SW-module, OR-system is a single weapon, data the ammunition– individual crafted from experts for a specific task– number of this weapons only in GE is enormous
Definition & discussion about effectiveness of such a single weapon or a related group: Is your job!
To look at all weapons and data to support you under common aspects: Is our job!

Our Battlefield AnalysisRED
Our Battlefield AnalysisRED
RED is not actual an enemy, it‘s an increasing set of requirements– Cost Reducing Programs– Reducing and restructuring of GE Forces– Drastic changes in expecting manpower expenditure– Tendency to multirole / multipurpose weaponsystems– Drastically shorten timelines in procurement and
operations– Maximum flexibility for mostly unknown future scenarios

Our Battlefield AnalysisMISSION
Our Battlefield AnalysisMISSION
Modeling & Simulation is a key for• procurement• training & exercises• mission planning and support• mission analysis
Our Mission• Investigate, Concentrate,
Control & Distribute own M&S potential• Flexible orchestrate common OR-scenarios
to answer new questions• Do this in Time & Cost and with a predictable Quality of Service
Make OR combat ready!

The Art of War The Redshift
Phenomenon
The Art of War The Redshift
Phenomenon Look at the expansion of your M&S universe– diversification & specialisation on mind and system level
Where is Intelligence, Compatibility, Standards? Where in fact is Interoperability?
Where is information management?
Good idea, but: Don‘t change experts or existing systems!Support them in their language & skills!

The Art of WarBabelfish
Technology
The Art of WarBabelfish
Technology It‘s time! Everyone puts his Babelfish in his preferred ear! Ok, perfect real-time understanding! Not???
Unfortunately a Babelfish is a fictional godlike language converter, directly connected with your brain and linked to a gigantic database.
In military terms: A central authoritative agency– They are doing the converter job– They are the keeper of the “Holy Grail of Interoperabilty”
(as the common language and their translations)– They are doing this job to be useful for all levels of user and for
the benefit of new knowledge
(and what is „godlike“ in military terms?)
(and what is „godlike“ in military terms?)

The Art of WarOur Workbench
Philosophy
The Art of WarOur Workbench
Philosophy We have defined our mission & processes in terms of– (MASS-)PRODUCTION
• producing the semantic M&S Ontology,• producing the translations (cross-walk),• producing flexible IT-support for
Data-Administration, Management and Exchange
– and not as an INDIVIDUAL, CREATIVE ART• counter-productive from this point of view
in terms of time, cost & transparency
So we have to build a flexible workbench– based on open and transparent tools– fit them in an assembly line (framework)– store and retrieve in- & output in a warehouse

Fighting our BattleSemantic
Expressiveness
Fighting our BattleSemantic
Expressiveness Founded on NATO LC2IEDM (formerly ATCCIS)• Semantic model of the battlefield for C2 systems• Resolution fitted for Battalion/Brigade and upon• Action oriented with Subject-Predicate-Object pattern• Divided in Object-Templates and real Object-Item container• Additional main concepts: Capability, Location
Semantic AddOn concepts for use in M&S• Ballistic, Biology & Medicine• Accuracy & Error (physical, functional till mission level)• Lethality, Vulnerability• Statistic and 3D geometry• Technical design data and assembly lists (material & human)

Fighting our BattleTechnical
Workbench Aspects
Fighting our BattleTechnical
Workbench Aspects If there is anything to connect: Do it with XML! Development in Python
– The real language for a moving target development
XML-Process Framework– Toolbox of systems and components as XML-components– Modelling of chains and nets of processes– Distribution of components and data via web
Integrated important lexical sources– LEXIS (authorised military translation database)– WordNet
Searchengine with expert-language interface
