J-ROADS Air Defence Simulation Support during the 2006 JPOW IX Missile Defence Exercise
Abstract
Joint Research On Air Defence Simulation (J-ROADS) is a simulation environment developed at TNO to support air defence research and CD&E for the Netherlands armed forces. It was designed to support three main uses within air defence research: analysis, exercise support and act as a test bed. These three uses are supported by a single simulation environment using modular components with interchangeable fidelity levels. During the 2006 JPOW IX air defence exercise, J-ROADS was used to represent the Royal NL Air Force Patriot, the Royal NL Navy Air Defence Command Frigate, the Royal NL Army Future Ground Based Air Defence System, and Opposing Force air defence regiments based on Russian systems. By connecting the J-ROADS operator-in-the-loop simulation models over a Link-16 network to other simulations and to live systems, a very realistic training environment was created out by the Netherlands armed forces to assess the operational value of new interceptor capabilities and new procedures for human interaction on different command and control levels. Very useful results were obtained and new insights were developed by all participants directly contributing to operational concepts, materiel acquisition processes and the further development of J-ROADS.
