Adaptive Squad Architecture (ASA)
Abstract
ASA provides a digital engineering foundation for Soldier Centered Design in a virtual (Army Cloud) environment to provide a common operating picture across the CCIE. The ASA requirement is based on the 2018 Soldier Lethality Initial Capabilities Document which promotes "capturing models in the ASA that identify specific connection points for development, integration and commonality of new systems that exchange data to provide information to warfighters that augment the speed of decisions with improved accuracy and reliability". ASA provides a starting point for new integration efforts to explore integration gaps and opportunities prior to and as part of the prototyping phase, before a Soldier Touch Point, and throughout the acquisition life cycle. ASA is responsible for the development of the Architecture Assessment Tool (AAT) - The AAT is the central ASA digital engineering tool that provides a Soldier Centered Design context in a virtual environment. AAT provides visualization of individual end items, and physical architecture (Head | Body | Weapon) of those items baselined by Soldier duty position (Squad Leader | Team Leader | Grenadier | Rifleman | Automatic Rifleman | etc.) and those items authorized at the Squad | Platoon Levels. The Visualization includes aggregated weight, an ability to compare Soldier configurations for analysis, and an ability to organize primary purposes of individual items into capabilities such as Lethality, Protection, Mobility and Mission Command. The AAT Soldier baselines are built from Army fielded (Modified Table of Organization and Equipment) items and they serve as a basis of comparison for OK Analysis data gathering events with operational units and other analysis.
