Wargaming and Simulation Centers

Abstract

The United States Air Force (USAF) Distributed Mission Operations Center (DMOC) is an Air Combat Command, USAF Warfare Center, 505th Command and Control Wing (505th CCW) organization. It provides joint interoperability training and testing to geographically separated Live, Virtual, and Constructive (LVC) assets--real-world weapon systems, operator-in-the-loop (OITL), and computer-driven simulations. Responsibilities include: development and integration of Distributed Mission Operations (DMO) training and test events, networks, scenarios, and databases in support of service, joint, and coalition warfighters. Activities also include studies and analysis to support both current program planning and execution and future program planning. DMOC is the lead integrator for AF DMO and virtual contributions to the Joint National Training Capability (JNTC). Additionally, DMOC is the lead agency for Virtual Flag (VF) exercises and the DMO Multi-Level Security (MLS) / Cross-Domain Solution (CDS) testbed. This program is categorized as Budget Activity (BA) 7 because it provides for development of technology in support of Distributed Mission Operations.

• Document Type: R2 Budgetary Justification
• Publication Date: Oct 01, 2011
• Source ID: 0207605F_7_3600_PB_2011
• Change Summary Explanation: a. The FY 2010 budget of $7.018M is a restoration in funding from a one-time FY09 reduction to pay for a higher Air Force priority (corporate Information Technology (IT) structure in another PE supporting Modeling and Simulation (M&S)). Historical R&D figures prior to FY09 were ~$6.5M. b. The change between the FY 2011 President's previous and current budget is due to a reprogramming action to meet higher Air Force priorities.
