Warriors Edge Simulation System
Abstract
In August 2003, the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) participated in an Office of the Secretary of Defense technology insertion program named Horizontal Fusion (HF). The HF program is inserting cross-domain, web-based tools into the defense force to enhance situational awareness, decrease communications delays, and speed up the use of Internet protocols in the sharing of battlefield information. ARL's role in the HF program is the Army's story from the brigade to the platoon leader. ARL technology development for the HF program included individual soldier telecommunications and computer gear, platoon leader decision support tools to include visualization and message generation and distribution, a surrogate S2 brigade station, information fusion technology, and global web-space integration. The work period for this effort was 6 months. This report will briefly describe the Warriors Edge components and how simulation was used to stimulate, populate, and enhance the Warriors Edge demonstration.
