COMPASS

• Common Operational Modeling, Planning and
  Simulation Strategy non-intrusive, middleware
  set of interface standards.
• Enables real-time Distributed Collaborative
  Planning and execution coordination between
  disparate existing or developing C4I or mission
  planning systems.
• Provides an interface to distribute MS products
  to the warfighter for enhanced collaborative plan
  building insight and decision support.
• DMSO - original sponsor for RD phase under C4I
  to Simulation Initiative Project (until Dec 97)
• Operational fielding Jan / Feb 99 in GCCS under
  JCS, DISA and DD JPO sponsorship (since Jan 98)

COMPASS C4I-to-Sim Program Summary

• Warfighter Requirements for Distributed
  Collaborative Planning (DCP) are still emerging.
  COMPASS is the first comprehensive step for DCP
  in the DII COE, supporting the Warfighter in all
  planning-to-execution processes.
• Demonstrated Mature, COE Compliant, Proven
  Technology... no other comprehensive
  collaborative interface application crosses
  operating systems or platforms from SGI to SUN to
  NT.
• COMPASS services provide real-time DCP
  operational support for todays Warfighter.
  Fully supports centralized control and
  decentralized execution of military operations.
