Joint Synthetic Battlespace Desert Pivot Experiment (JDPE)
Abstract
The goal of the Joint Synthetic Battlespace Experiment (JDPE) is to prove the underlying concept of the Joint Synthetic Battlespace (JSB) in the context of the warfighters, i.e., USAF operational users. The JSB has been conceptualized and prototyped to support the transforming USAF into a capability oriented standard, such as Global Strike Task Forces (GSTF), rather than the current weapon platform centric. The new capability can only be realized by synergistic integration of existing and new weapons/C2/ISR systems. JSB plans on being the very tool for CONOP development, R&D, acquisition, training, mission planning, rehearsal, and even disposal of component systems in the future USAF. Initially, JSB was focused on supporting new weapon/C2/ISR system conceptualization, development, and acquisition. The next application domain is USAF operational use. Air Combat Command's (ACC) Tactical Air Command and Control Simulation Facility (TACCSF) conducts a quarterly Desert Pivot (DP) exercise in conjunction with Red Flag of Nellis AFB. The first JSB Experiment, which is called JDPE Event 1, was conducted during DP 03-01 in October 2002. This paper discusses the JDPE architecture and the details of the JDPE Event 1.
