Enhanced Simulation for Information Operations Capabilities

Abstract

Enhanced Simulation for IO Capabilities is a Congressional add providing a software architecture that can bring network management to the Deputy Secretary of Defense Chartered Information Operations Range and VisIOn initiatives. The IO Range and VisIOn programs require the transfer of large amounts of data to accomplish their mission and must mitigate or overcome latency and bandwidth limitation inherent in all networks. These network limitations are especially prevalent in field operations where connectivity to networks is erratic. The DoD leadership recognizes the need to improve efficiency in utilizing non- kinetic weapons. Currently, however, the ability to create and operate the realistic operational environment required to support effective integration of these systems is limited because data transfer requirements exceed real world bandwidth limitations. The software architecture will support IO Range and VisIOn objectives to provide analysis, planning, rehearsal, and execution environments for US and coalition forces by enabling large-scale data transfer, and providing a central integration point with new standards, and enhancing simulation capabilities. This will save considerable time and money by eliminating rewrites of existing simulations and filtering of critical data thus providing a mission critical solution that is needed by DoD now.
