  providing robust air-land-maritime-space-emitter
  combat training environments
• Focused on integrated C2ISR execution across
  current and evolving CAF mission areas
• Scenarios designed to support Combatant
  Commanders
• Test Evaluation on a non-interference basis

Success Criteria

• DMO will allow our warfighters and decision
  makers to say,
• weve been here before, weve fought more
  difficult enemies, and weve anticipated their
  every move.

Space DMO
17
Interoperability Challenges and Shortfalls

• Warfighter training requirements
• Need to ID the space training audience
  otherwise, space DMO relegated to a white force
  input
• Warfighter defined DMO requirements and funds to
  deliver
• Lack of DMO integrated space sims
• Limited collateral level simulation
• Most are stand alone
• Most are for analysis, not training
• Need for Multi-level security (MLS) solutions

18
Interoperability Challenges and Shortfalls (cont.)

• Lack of sims that use space data
• GPS Environment
• Comm performance and throughput
• Exercise periods too short
• Unable to task and collect realistically
• Unable to fully play TPED cycle
• Space support to IPB underplayed

19
Current Workarounds

• White Force Injects
• Scripted GPS limitation reduced PK
• Intel injects BDA, downed pilot
• BFT, Hook 112
• Usually scripted lack of dynamic interaction
• Virtual BFT
• Limited real-world
• Comm
• Mixture of real-world tactical and sims

20
Long Term Solutions

• Space DMO
• Training audience will drive requirements will
  drive capabilities
• MLS
• Higher fidelity space sims pass data to
  collateral side, as in real-world
• Systems designed to support DMO
• Support both analytical and training needs of
  warfighter
• SBIRS trainer designed as dual purpose space sim
• DIS/HLA compliant

21
Long Term Solutions (cont.)

• Broader use of space information
• Modify other sims to use space inputs
• Affect weapons effectiveness due to GPS
  inaccuracies, jamming
• Influence data passage and accuracy based on comm
  links
• Improve OPFOR modeling of space threats
