Interfacing Force-on-Force And Communications Models: MANA and JNE

Abstract

This report documents an interface between an agent-based force-on-force simulation and a network simulation for the U.S. Army's Cyber Center of Excellence, Capabilities Development and Integration Directorate, Cyber Battle Lab. One of the critical functions executed by the Battle Lab is to provide modeling and simulation (M and S) support to validate current and future command, control, communication, and networkrelated concepts, technologies, and architectures. This interface was designed to give the Army an additional capability complementing existing M and S capabilities to study the operational impact of current and future tactical networks. It also provides a quick-turn analysis capability to support experimentation and exercises facilitated by the Experimentation Division.
