Agenda

• Introduction
• The One Tactical Engagement Simulation System
  (OneTESS) Overview
• OneTESS Network Requirements
• OneSAF use in OneTESS
• OneTESS Modeling and Simulation (MS) Overview
• OneSAF use in OneTESS MS
• OneSAF use in OneTESS Engagement Methodology (EM)

3
OneTESS Overview

• OneTESS provides realistic simulated combat
  engagements in outdoor or built up area
  environments with actual weapons platforms
  sending and receiving electronic bullets over
  radio frequency networks
• OneTESS is a research and development program
  developing a standard and prototype to replace
  the highly successful, but operationally limited,
  laser-based training and testing systems in use
  over the last 25 years

4
OneTESS Network Requirements

• The OneTESS is required to provide wireless
  networking of several thousand highly mobile
  entities executing combat engagement operations
• Infrastructure-based mode and stand-alone mode
  with no infrastructure
• Engagements must be adjudicated in real-time as
  perceived in real world engagements
• Provide exercise control and reliable data
  collection of engagement and tracking information

5
OneTESS MS Overview

• OneTESS MS supports analysis of OneTESS
  requirements and network design decisions
• Built using QualNet network discrete event
  simulation
• QualNet provides networking thousands of entities
  using standard OSI stack and IEEE 802.n wired and
  wireless services and protocols
• Provides collection and analysis of network
  statistics
• Designed to run combat engagements across a wide
  range of combat scenario
• Using OneTESS developed engagement adjudication,
  exercise control and data collection protocol
  models
• Using OneSAF generated scenarios and simulation
  data

OneSAF Use in OneTESS MS
7
OneSAF Use in OneTESS EM

• Many OneSAF Physical Model Knowledge Acquisition
  Document (PKAD) methodologies are implemented for
  OneTESS Build 0
• Some have been modified for use in the live
  training domain
• When available, OneSAF Engagement Data is used
  for the PKAD Methodologies

8
OneSAF Methodologies used in OneTESS EM

• OneSAF (PKAD) methodologies implemented
• Delivery Accuracy
• Delivery Accuracy for Direct Fire Weapons
• Delivery Accuracy for Indirect Fire Weapons
• Delivery Accuracy for Fragmenting and Point
  Detonating Small Caliber Direct Fire Weapons

9
OneSAF Methodologies used in OneTESS EM

• Vulnerability
• Vulnerability from Direct Fire Weapons for
  Dismounted Infantry
• Vulnerability from Direct Fire Weapons for Ground
  Vehicles
• Vulnerability from Indirect Fire Weapons for
  Dismounted Infantry
• Vulnerability from Indirect Fire Weapons for
  Ground Vehicles
• Vulnerability from Conventional Mines
• Improvised Explosive Devices

10
OneSAF Methodologies used in OneTESS EM

• Other
• Effectiveness of Air Defense Artillery (ADA) and
  Anti-Tank Guided Missiles (ATGM)
• Combat Damage Repair

11
Other OneTESS Methodologies

• OneTESS created algorithms
• Wound Model
• Dispersion and Probability of Kill Scaling
• Dud/Misfire
• Sensor and Communications Kills
• (only Communications Kill for OneTESS Build 0)
• Canister Rounds
• Suppression from Indirect Fire
• Entity Shadowing
• Direct Fire Hit Determination
• Modified the Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement
  System (MILES) Lethality Effects Assessment
  Routine (LEAR) Implementation
• The Engagement Software will evolve into a Common
  Training Instrumentation Architecture (CTIA) Live
  Training Transformation (LT2) Product Line
  component.

12
OneSAF Data used in OneTESS EM

• When available, OneSAF Engagement Data is used
  for the PKAD Methodologies
• OneSAF Data Availability for OneTESS Build 0
• Direct Data 66.5
• Direct Data or Surrogated (by OneSAF) - 91.5
• Missing Data 8.5
• Missing data filled in by finding surrogates
• Surrogates will be coordinated with OneSAF to
  reduce fair fight issues between OneTESS and
  constructive simulations

13
Other Data used in OneTESS EM

• Engagement Data for OneTESS algorithms
• Data sources include
• Subject Matter Experts (SME)
• Data produced based on iterative tests to produce
  expected outcomes
• Data from the Training Centers
• Other military agencies

14
Summary

• OneSAF is used to support validation of the
  OneTESS engagement MS
• OneSAF EM algorithms (PKAD) are implemented in
  OneTESS
• When available OneSAF data is used to feed the EM
  algorithms
