First Applications of the Joint Forces Command Information Operations Range - An ACETEF Perspective

Abstract

The Air Combat Environment Test and Evaluation Facility (ACETEF), located at Patuxent River, MD, participated in the Navy Use Case (NUC) event sponsored by Joint Forces Command (JFCOM). Some of the other sites participating in this distributed simulation event included the Integrated Battlespace Arena (IBAR) at China Lake, CA, the Joint Research Analysis and Assessment Center (JRAAC) at Huntsville, AL and facilities located at Ft. Meade, MD. The Information Operations Range (IOR) network is designed to support testing of effects-based operations techniques and tools. This paper will describe the goals of the NUC event, the first implementation of the IOR, and how the hardware and software assets at ACETEF supported this event. Among the ACETEF assets involved in the NUC were the Joint Integrated Mission Model ACE (JIMMACE), the JIMMACE-JRAAC High Level Architecture (HLA) interface, Tactical Plot (TacPlot) and the I-32 radar stimulator. These tools are installed in the newly completed Advanced System Integration Laboratory (ASIL). The software and hardware integration for the NUC event leveraged heavily on a portion of the JFCOM Terminal Fury 06 Information Operations Insertion (TF06IOI) for the Pacific Command. A discussion of the TF06IOI legacy, and the evolution of this work into the NUC, is included in the paper as well.
