Advances in Navy Data Development Efforts for the NETwork WARfare Simulation (NETWARS) Program
Abstract
LT General Buchholz, the J6 director for Command, Control, Communications, and Computer Systems, initiated the Network Warfare Simulation (NETWARS) program in 1996. This was in response to concerns that C4ISR networks and systems, when exposed to full operational loading and unanticipated effects, may be susceptible to performance degradation and failure. The objective of the NETWARS program is to provide a simulation environment that allows the end user to conduct communications burden analyses, perform communication contingency planning and assess the performance of emerging communications technology. A key component to the success of NETWARS is service involvement. The services are providing the entities, traffic loading, networks/links, movement characteristics, and equipment models to be manipulated by the NETWARS toolkit. This paper describes the Navy data development efforts in all of these categories, and also discusses the long-term goals in anticipation of supporting other Navy/DOD M&S programs.
