1.0 Summary of Model Change Request
In order to provide the required feed for the Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) tool called the Link-16 Surface-to-Air Missile Command and Control System (SAMC2) Interoperability Demonstratorknown as Link 16 Intelligent Decision Tool (LSID), JTLS must produce several new Link-16messages. LSID is part of the new version of ICC (2.8.2) and provides the capability to display themissile defense situational awareness picture using Link 16 Data. The following messages mustbe produced by JTLS:
• J 3.6 Space track Message
• J 3.0 Reference Point
• J 7.0 Track Management (Drop Track)
• J 13.3 Surface (Maritime) Platform and System Status
• J 13.5 Surface (Land) Platform and System Status (only for SSM & SAM Sites)
• J 3.5 Land Point or Track
• J 2.6 Land Track PPLI *** remove???
• J 10.2 Engagement Status
2.0 Design Summary
In current JTLS, several Link-16 messages are being generated and provided to the C4I systemfrom the JTLS Operational Interface (JOI) Program. The JOI can provide the following Link-16messages:
• Air Precision Participant Location and Identification (PPLI), J2.2 - This message is sent outfor self-reporting Link-16 capable Air Missions and includes data such as; altitude, speed,course, location, activity, mode1, mode 2 mode 3, call sign, etc.
• Surface (PPLI), J2.3 - This message is sent out for Link-16 capable naval units and thefollowing data are included in the message; speed, course, location, platform, mode2,etc.
ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation Design Plan JTLS-2012-XXXXX
25 February 2013 576 JTLS 4.1.0.0
• Land Point PPLI, J2.5 - This message is sent out for Link-16 capable ground based unitsand provides the location, activity, and platform.
• Reference Point, J3.0 - This message is generated upon the detection of a Ballistic Missile(TBM) launch and provides the launch point, impact point, and expected impact ellipsedata.
• Emergency Point, J3.1 - This message is sent out to report an emergency situation, suchas DOWN AIRCRAFT.
• Air Track, J3.2 - This message is sent out for air tracks that are detected by Link-16capable assets and provides the following data; relationship, altitude, strength, speed,course, location, mode 1, mode 2, mode 3, mode 4 indicator, etc.
• Space Track, J3.6 - This message is sent to report continuous location updates for aBallistic Missile object.
• Drop Track, J7.0 - This message is sent when an air PPLI or track is dropped.
• Air Platform and Surface, J13.2 - This message is sent out to provide the current status ofan air PPLI or track. The message includes the following data; fuel, operational capability,weapon loads, etc.
An additional Link-16 message J3.3 (Surface Track) was added to JTLS 4.1 as part of JTLS-2012-11377 Link 16 Surface Tracks. With this ECP, the JOI will provide five additional new messagetypes:
• J 2.6 Land Track PPLI - provide PPLI data for mobile ground objects --- remove???
• J 3.5 Land Point or Track - provide tactical surveillance information on land points andtracks
• J 13.3 - provide the current status information for a surface platform
• J 13.5 - provide the weapon and equipment status information of a land platform
• J 10.2 Engagement Status - provides status of an engagement between the participatingtracks
The J13.3 and J13.5 messages will work in similar manner as the J13.2 messages which provideadditional status/weapon information for the air PPLI/tracks that are currently being reported tothe C4I system.

3.0 Detailed Design
The key to this ECP is understanding the message requirements and how to provide the datafrom JTLS via JOI. If the required information is currently not available in JODA for JOI to retrieve,we will need to make necessary CEP/JODA changes. Few database changes will also be requiredto be able to generate the Link-16 acceptable data values if the information is currently notavailable in JTLS.
Following subsections will each describe new message type that will be generated in JTLS. One ormore tables under each section will list data elements that JOI will provide for the specified Link-16 message type. Instead of trying to supply most of the fields on each message type, we willconcentrate on providing data elements that are being utilized by the LSID component of the ICC.The requirement information was based on the ICC documentation, LSID Software User Manual.Also note that the LSID does not use all parts of the messages.
If the information is not applicable in JTLS, No Statement (NS) is sent. If NS is not allowed, adefault value from the list of acceptable values is sent. For detailed message definitions,descriptions, and acceptable values, please refer to the DOD Tactical Data Link (TDL) 16Message Standard documentation (MIL-STD-6016C_Change_1_complete_document.pdf).
3.1 Message Description
3.1.1 Expand Surface PPLI (J2.3) and Land Point PPLI (J2.5)
To provide the weapon system information data to LSID, we will expand the criteria for generatingthe J2.3 andJ2.5 messages. Currently, when JU numbers were assigned to the ground-based orsurface-based units, JOI was producing the PPLI messages to report the position of units. We willadd the capability to generate the PPLI messages from unit-owned or unit-associated targets.
There are only three types of targets that can send out information concerning their currentlocation. These are:
• Air Defense Targets - Their characteristics are defined by the Air Defense Class entity, Thisentity will have a new database parameter called AD.LINK16.CAPABLE.
• Sensor Targets - Their characteristics are defined by the Sensor Type entity. This entity willhave a new database parameter called ST.LINK16.CAPABLE.
• Surface-to-Surface Missile Targets - Their characteristics are defined by the Surface-to-Surface or SSM entity. This entity will have a new database parameter calledSSM.LINK16.CAPABLE.
• Facility Targets - Their characteristics are defined by the Facility entity. This entity will havea new database parameter called FAT.LINK16.CAPABLE.
ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation Design Plan JTLS-2012-XXXXX
25 February 2013 578 JTLS 4.1.0.0
• Communication Targets - Their characteristics are defined by the Communication Centerentity. This entity will have a new database parameter called CC.LINK16.CAPABLE.
Currently, all unit objects have the JU number database field which is used as the Source TrackNumber (STN) in each message header. The current mechanism of assigning JU numbers will beexpanded so that we can assign the JU numbers for the targets to participate the Link-16network.
The most difficult design decision concerns how are Link-16 entities going to be assigned theirju_number and if needed their track blocks that should be used. The problem is confused by thefact that the database team may decide not to build the individual targets, but instead use thePrototype Owned Target (POT) capability. POT targets do not exist in the database, they arecreated when the unit is initialized in the model. This means that the database cannot alwaysspecify the ju_number information leaving the assignment of this data until the last minute whethe game is initialized. One of the purposes of this design is to alleviate that burden from gamecontrollers.
Currently the JTLS 4.0 database has the following Link-16 related data:
• Every unit has an attribute called UT.JU.NUMBER. This database parameter will notchange. If set, the unit will send out Link-16 PPLI data.
• Every Squadron also has a list of JU Numbers that its aircraft can use along with a blockof track numbers. When an aircraft takes off, it takes a JU Number from the list and itsassociated track block. The mission uses this information as it detects foreign objects.
• Every Sensor Target has a block of track numbers assigned. Thus a single ship that hasan air search sensor and a surface search sensor has two different track blocks. This iscontrary to the manner in which the real-world operates. The ship owns the track blockand will assign track numbers from its block irregardless of whether the track is an airtrack or a surface track.
So what database will need to be made. We are proposing the following:
• From the sensor target table, remove the TG TRACK BLOCK START and TG TRACK BLOCKEND attributes.
• To all unit types, add a UT TRACK BLOCK START and a UT TRACK BLOCK END.
• To all unit types, add an owned and associated target block of available JU Numbers.When the unit arrives in the theater, it will look at all of its owned and associated targets,this does include its POT targets. If the target is listed as Link-16 capable, the unit will fill
Design Plan JTLS-2012-XXXXX ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation
JTLS 4.1.0.0 579 25 February 2013
in the target’s assigned TG JU NUMBER. Those targets will then be sending out Link-16PPLIs. If the target detects something, it will look to its parent and pickup a JU TrackNumber from the unit’s block.
Of these three types of targets, only Air Defense targets can be placed on the game board in anindependent location. They may be either owned by a unit or associated with a unit.
With the target addition to the PPLI messages, we will review and expand the LAND PLATFORMand LAND ACTIVITY data elements for the J2.5 messages. The table displays the key dataelements in the message.
Table 1. Land Point PPLI (J2.5)
The following table provides the mapping guideline for the Land Platform data element for bothJ2.5 and J3.5 messages. For the LAND PLATFORM data element, we were providing 7(=AIRFIELD/AIRBASE) for the airbase and 1 (=TROOP CONCENTRATION/UNIT) for all other groundbased units. We will expand the mapping so that we can also assign the platform field for targetsof interest. The Link-16 documentation provides the complete list of acceptable values withdescription.

In current JTLS, air search sensor targets were assigned JU block of starting and ending JU numbers. A JU number within the block was used when a detection occurs by the sensor to report Air Tracks (J3.2). With this ECP, any types of sensors will have JU blocks so that it is used when a detection occurs to report any surface (J3.3) and ground tracks (J3.5).
When any ground/surface based targets are detected by Link-16 assets, the reporting asset’s JUnumber is used as the source and the reference track number will be assigned from reporter’sblock list. For detected SAM and SSM targets, three new JODA target attributes will be added.
• ju_number - The attribute holds the database variable TG.JU_NUMBER. If this text value isnot "NONE", JOI will generated either J2.3 or J2.5 PPLI message.
• track_ju_number - This attribute holds the JU number assigned from the reporting asset’sblock (part of J3.3 or J3.5 Initial message).
• source_ju_number - This attribute holds the JU number of the reporting asset (sourcetrack number as part of J3.3 or 3.5 header).
For detected ground/surface based units, one new JODA unit attribute will be added. In currentJTLS, the ju_number and source_ju_number exist as unit attributes.
• ju_number - The attribute holds the database variable UT.JU_NUMBER. If this text value isnot "NONE", JOI will generated either J2.3 or J2.5 PPLI message.
• track_ju_number - This attribute holds the JU number assigned from the reporting asset’sblock (part of J3.3 or J3.5 Initial message).

For the last 3 data elements in the Table, you can either provide the LAND SPECIFIC Type or LANDPLATFORM with LAND ACTIVITY data. We have selected the second option; provide platform andactivity data. The same data elements also exist in the J2.5 messages and we will use the samemapping guideline as explained in Table 2. Land Platform Mapping Guide and Table 3 LandActivity Mapping Guide.
If the LSID is expecting the LAND SPECIFIC TYPE data element, we will need an additionalmapping mechanism to accomplish the task. For the LAND SPECIFIC TYPE data element, morethan 400 entries are listed in the Link-16 documentation (DFI 810/DUI 001). We may need tocreate a subset of types to be used in JTLS and make it available for database and vocabularyfile.
3.1.3 Surface Platform and System Status (J13.3)
With this message, JOI will provide the current status of a surface platform which includes theoperational status and on board systems' status. These additional information will be providedfor the existing Surface PPLIs and Surface Tracks of own side. For any Link-16 participatingsurface-based owning side entities, the on-board missile information is collected and passed tothe C4I system.
The following table list the required fields for the LSID, and the JOI will provide the InitializationWord (I), Continuation Word 1 (C1), and Continuation Word 2 (C2) to meet the requirements. Allthe requested information is available in JODA objects, either in NAVAL or target objects.]

3.1.5 Engagement Status (J10.2)
This message provides the status of a weapon engagement between two JUs, the ReferenceTrack and the Target Track. Since the engagement status changes so rapidly, the CEP cannot useJODA attributes to provide the information to JOI. It will require a different way to provide the data,a special message will be sent out for JOI to generate the J10.2 message.
To provide the required data elements to ICC, JOI will generate the Initial Word (I) andContinuation Word 2 (C2).

3.2 CEP Changes
With additional required information to provide in the messages, the following modifications willbe made in CEP:
• WIth added JU number attributes, CEP will assign the correct JODA JU attributes. Theju_number attribute is used for self reporting Link-16 participating asset, assigned withinthe database or the order. The track_ju_number is assigned from the JU block ofreporting asset when detection occurs and the source_ju_number is the reporter’s JUNumber.
• Generate special message to provide engagement status for JOI to generate J10.2message. The format of the message is provided in 3.1.5 Engagement Status (J10.2). Theweapon system and engagement status information will be added to the model so thatappropriate data can be sent to JOI via the special message.
3.3 SVP Errors/Warnings
These SVP Errors and Warnings will be implemented to support this ECP:
• Error 436: Unit UNIT.NAME's LINK16.TYPE Link16 value 12345 overlaps UNIT.NAME'sLINK16.TYPE Link16 value.
This unit’s JU number, JU number within the Target Block, or JU number within the TrackBlock is being used by another unit. This condition must be corrected to avoid a majorproblem with the C4I systems.
• Error 442: Unit UNIT.NAME has an illegal Track Block POSITION value of 12345.
The Track Block Start or End value is incorrectly formatted. The DDS ensures that aproperly formatted JU number was entered. A nonconforming value was entered into thedatabase in a manner other than the DDS. The Track JU numbers must contain fivecharacters; the first two characters must be alphanumeric (A-Z, excluding I and O, or 0-7)and the last three characters must be numeric (0-7). TADIL-J documentation should bereferenced to ensure complete compliance with TADIL-J regulations, since certain legalvalues are reserved for use by specific Government agencies. JTLS does not check for theentry of a restricted JU Number and only ensures that the JU Number is properlyformatted.
• Error 443: Unit UNIT.NAME has a Track Block Start value 12345 larger than its TrackBlock End value 12345.
ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation Design Plan JTLS-2012-XXXXX
25 February 2013 596 JTLS 4.1.0.0
The End Track Block value must be greater than the Start Track Block value so that a JUnumber within the block is assigned to a Link-16 track when detection occurs.
• Error 444: Unit UNIT.NAME has an illegal Target Block POSITION value of 12345.
The Target Block Start or End value is incorrectly formatted. The DDS ensures that aproperly formatted JU number was entered. A nonconforming value was entered into thedatabase in a manner other than the DDS. The Track JU numbers must contain fivecharacters; the first two characters must be alphanumeric (A-Z, excluding I and O, or 0-7)and the last three characters must be numeric (0-7). TADIL-J documentation should bereferenced to ensure complete compliance with TADIL-J regulations, since certain legalvalues are reserved for use by specific Government agencies. JTLS does not check for theentry of a restricted JU Number and only ensures that the JU Number is properlyformatted.
• Error 445: Unit UNIT.NAME has a Target Block Start value 12345 larger than its TargetBlock End value 12345.
The End Target Block value must be greater than the Start Target Block so that a JUnumber within the block can be assigned to the Unit’s owning/associated Link-16capable Targets.
• Warning 401: Unit UNIT.NAME has a Link16 Track Block START and END, but it belongs toa faction that is not Link16 Capable.
The Unit must belong to a Link-16 capable Faction to report Link-16 tracks. The Faction towhich the unit belongs does not have an ACP AIR INFORMATION PROTOCOL of LINK16.Remove the Track Block from the Unit or set the Faction’s ACP AIR INFORMATIONPROTOCOL to LINK16. Correcting this problem is not required, but assigning the Unit aTrack Block of JU Numbers is inconsistent if the Unit is incapable of using them.
• Warning 407: Unit UNIT.NAME has a Link16 Target Block START and END, but it belongs toa faction that is not Link16 Capable.
The Unit must belong to a Link-16 capable Faction to be able to assign JU Numbers toowned or associated Link-16 capable Targets. The Faction to which the unit belongs doesnot have an ACP AIR INFORMATION PROTOCOL of LINK16. Remove the Target Block fromthe Unit or set the Faction’s ACP AIR INFORMATION PROTOCOL to LINK16. Correcting thisproblem is not required, but assigning the Unit a Target Block of JU Numbers isinconsistent if the Unit is incapable of using them.
• Warning 434: Unit UNIT.NAME has a Link16 Track Block, but has no Link16 CapableSensors.
Design Plan JTLS-2012-XXXXX ROLANDS & ASSOCIATES Corporation
JTLS 4.1.0.0 597 25 February 2013
One or more Link-16 capable Sensor targets are needed to report Link-16 tracks. The Unitdoes not have any owned or associated Sensor targets that are Link-16 capable. Removethe Track Block from the Unit or set the Link-16 Capable flag to "True" for the Sensor Typecategory of the owned or associated Sensor targets. Correcting this problem is notrequired, but assigning the Unit a Track Block of JU Numbers is inconsistent if the Unit isincapable of using them.
• Warning 435: Unit UNIT.NAME has a Link16 Target Block, but has no Link16 CapableTargets.
The JU Numbers within the Target Block are being used by the Unit to assign the JUNumber for the Unit’s owned or associated Link-16 capable targets. The Unit does nothave any owned or associated Targets that are Link-16 capable. Remove the Target Blockfrom the Unit or set the Link-16 Capable flag to "True" for the Target Category of theowned or associated SAM, Sensor, SSM, Facility, and Communication Center targets.Correcting this problem is not required, but assigning the Unit a Target Block of JUNumbers is inconsistent if the Unit is incapable of using them.
• Warning 438: Unit UNIT.NAME has a Link16 Target Block, but has 123 Link16 CapableTargets, but only 123 Target JU Numbers.
The possbile JU Numbers that can be allocated from the Target Block is less than theUnit’s owned or associated Link-16 capable Target counts. Adjust the Target Block Startand End values to hold sufficient JU Numbers.
3.4 JOI Changes
With the current Link-16 capabilities in JOI, no additional setup is required for this ECP. All theexisting network parameters will be used and all the generated Link-16 messages will be sent atevery time interval that was set during the setup process. Currently, no filtering is provided for theLink-16 messages, except when the operator turns the Link-16 feed Off to resolve anynetwork-related issues.
The capability to generate the newly added Link-16 messages will be added to the JOI with addeddata provided by CEP & JODA. JOI will subscribe additional objects which include targets of SAM,Sensor, and SSM categories. Based on where the target is located, the Link-16 participatingsurface based targets will generate J2.3 and the ground based targets will generate J2.5messages.
4.0 Data Changes
Remove the Sensor Targets, TG LINK16 BLOCK START and TG LINK16 BLOCK END.
