Operations COIN(Operational Use Case)
GOTS Open Source key

• Push MS support to fireteams, squads, platoons,
  companies, and battalions
• Develop Deployable Mission Rehearsal System3
  year effort
• Core Components
• Terrain generatorRUGUD/U2MG/SEAGUL/REPEL
• Constructive ground maneuver model (represents
  physics non-physics activity)OneSAF
• Virtual 3D visualization tools (ARES, OGRE, D3D,
  Half-Life 2)
• Augmenting/mixed-reality visualization
  toolsHARViST
• Game PVD (select behaviors through game front
  end)
• Real-time Adversarial Intelligence and
  Decision-makingRAID
• Non-kineticJNEM-force activity effects upon
  non-combatant group mood associated reactive
  events
• Social networking3D interactive socio-cultural

Core Component Functionality

• 1Km x 1Km urban geo-tile in 1-3 hours from source
  data digital ingestion to enhance geo-specific
  and geo-typical terrain
• Semi-automated tactical/asymmetric behaviors and
  effects
• Virtual and Immersive environment augmenting
  mixed reality
• Civilian Information Infrastructure/Broadcast
  Media
• PSYOP effects/Coercion behaviors
• Human networks
• Crowd behaviors continuous entity behaviors
• Noncombatant response to force activity and
  political/economic/cultural/IO interventions over
  time
• Expedient obstacles
• Ambiguity--clutter

10 month effort

• Terrain/Feature GenerationRUGUD/U2MG
• Virtual RenderingARES
• Game front endSelect behaviors via game PVD
• Ground Maneuver modelOneSAF
• Semi-automated behaviors
• AMSAA validated physics
• Stand alone
• First Army prototype demo in early summer
• Shelby Use Case on IED lanes
• Apply user feedback
• Provide to deploying units at no cost beginning
  Oct-Nov 08.
