RAP Simulation Environment Characteristics

Abstract

The Recognized Air Picture (RAP) is an important element of Air Force operations which can be associated with the Common Operational Picture (COP). With the Common Tactical Picture (CTP), they provide Air Force commanders with the necessary situation awareness (SA), indicating, in real time, the status of deployed friendly and enemy assets. In the 13dw project, DRDC Valcartier investigated concepts that could improve the implementation of a dynamic RAP and its exploitation for the management of Canadian Air Force resources in real-time operations. Such an implementation requires the definition of a reference scenario and the development of a simulation tool. On the one hand, an analysis of five existing scenarios led to the choice of the North Atlantis scenario, on top of which depicting a Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) mission vignette was developed. On the other hand, the analysis of some existing simulation tools (two commercial tools and two R&D tools designed at DRDC Valcartier) led to recommendations for the development of a dynamic RAP tool.
