What is One Semi-Automated Forces (OneSAF)
Objective System (OOS)?

• A composable, next generation CGF
• Represent a full range of operations, systems,
  and control processes (TTP)
• Entity up to brigade level
• Variable level of fidelity
• Supports multiple Army MS domain (ACR, RDA,
  TEMO) applications.

Software only
Automated Composable Extensible Interoperable
Platform Independent

• Field to
• RDECs and Battle Labs
• National Guard armories
• Reserve training centers
• All active-duty brigades
• and battalions
• All FCS platforms

Capable of replacing legacy entity-based
simulations BBS, OTB/ModSAF, CCTT/AVCATT SAF,
Janus, JCATS MOUT

OOS Enhanced Modeling

• Semi-Automated Forces
• Multiple levels of fidelity
• Contemporary Operating Environment
• The old conventional stuff PLUS
• IEDs
• Paramilitary forces
• Guerilla forces
• Homicide/suicide bombers
• Car bombs
• Communications Networks
• FCS and non-FCS UAs
• Stryker Brigades

Plus tools that let users make their own
entities, units, and behaviors

The Three-Block War

• "In one moment in time, our service members will
  be feeding and clothing displaced refugees -
  providing humanitarian assistance. In the next
  moment, they will be holding two warring tribes
  apart - conducting peacekeeping operations.
  Finally, they will be fighting a highly lethal
  mid-intensity battle. All on the same day, all
  within three city blocks. It will be what we call
  the three block war." - General Charles Krulak,
  USMC

• Enhanced dismounted infantry behaviors
• Validated, physics-based models
• Ultra-high resolution buildings (UHRB)
• Stairs
• Usable roofs
• Interior walls
• Furniture
• Rubble
• Underground structures
• Cellars/basements
• Tunnels
• Hiding holes
• Some crowd modeling

• Military and non-military forces
• Conventional and unconventional weapons
• Non-military vehicles

• Multiple sides (25)
• Changeable relationships
• Friendly
• Hostile
• Suspect
• Neutral

OOS is Purple Becoming a de facto Joint Model

• USMC (PM TRASYS) invested FY04 and FY05 dollars
  to build Marine entities, units, and behaviors in
  OOS.
• OOS drives USMC CACCTUS training system.

• Coordination ongoing with Air Force SIMAF office
  to use OOS as the ground maneuver driver in
  EAAGLES.
• Coordination with AFAMS, Hurlburt, and JQUAD
  people.
• USAF planning to build behaviors for OOS as well.

• JFCOM J-9 plans to use OOS in JUO Experiments in
  FY05 and 06
• Part of 2004 J-7 Joint interoperability demo at
  I/ITSEC
• J-7 has put someone in our lab for a build to
  learn OOS

• OOS will be under the hood in a variety of
  virtual simulators, including AVCATT, CCTT, the
  Common Gunnery Architecture, and the Common
  Driver Trainer
• Embedded training on all FCS platforms

• Signed Project Agreement with the UK to build
  their behaviors for OOS
• Several countries are preparing to stand up their
  own IDE

OneSAF Objective System (OOS) Emerging Standards
MSDL Military Scenario Definition
Language Defines the language between tools
simulations to provide military scenario
information to OneSAF. Currently MSDE, C2PC and
CAPES interoperate with OTB OOS using MSDL.
Future efforts to include FCS C2 systems and
Battlefield Mgmnt Language (BML) integration.
OTF - Objective Terrain Format Defines the OOS
Synthetic Natural Environment. Provides a common
LVC environmental representation for USA
simulations (CATT / AVCATT / CTIA / WARSIM /
Combat XXI) and federations (ACTF / BLCSE /
MATREX).
PLAF - Product Line Architecture Framework A
modular, composable architecture with well
defined APIs and data schemas for all components.
Supporting current USA USMC constructive
virtual simulation development.
SORD Simulation Object Runtime Database
Contains shared battlespace objects, which
include platforms, units, dynamic environment
objects (smoke clouds, obstacles) missions,
orders, and reports. Provides ability for any
SORD client to access the data in the OOS
database if it has properly expressed interest
for those objects.

Recent Accomplishments (OTB)

• Improved stability and hardened baseline under
  FCS effort to simulate 30K entities on a 500 node
  network Jan 05
• Successfully merged and fielded single baseline
  including MATRIX, UAMBL, AVCATT and other
  customers modifications (Objective Force OTB
  v2.5) June 05
• Government Acceptance Test on OTB 2.5 - July 05
• Successful OTB ABCA GAT October 04
• Fielded and provided training to Czech Republic
  and Slovak Republic May June 05

Recent Accomplishments (OOS)

• Successfully integrated OOS into Joint Virtual
  Training Special Event (JVTSE) during I/ITSEC
  2004

  OneSAF, also integrating C3Driver expect live
  and virtual simulations to leverage effort for
  cost savings across the training community
• Ft. Knox working with the OOS team to develop otf
  sample and test data bases with 3 ½ million
  polygons, linear features and water features
• OOS hardened to improve stability under a DIS
  load of gt15K entities running overnight
• FCS training build zero distributed to UAMBL
  engineering releases, July 05, TEC August 05.
  v1.0 fielding at the end of August
• USMC CACCTUS program training Marines at
  Twenty-Nine Palms with OOS Build 20 (current
  build is Build 27)
• Common Driver Trainer will field in February with
  OOS Build 24.

Recent Accomplishments (International)

• Continued involvement in several countries and
  new FMS cases across NATO
• OOS will be the common simulation among all ABCA
  countries and will be the exercise driver from
  Rainbow Serpent 07.
• FMS cases approved to construct IDEs in Canada
  and Australia
• OOS delivered to the UK under RD PA
