Future Development

• Civil Environment and Behaviors
• The Civil Environment model will be more robust
  and dynamic
• Civil unrest, refugees, disaster effects/relief,
  cultural influence, etc
• Psychological Operations (PSOPS) will be better
  represented
• The primary (direct), secondary (indirect),
  cumulative and cascading effects of attacks on
  civil environment targets will be better
  represented
• Medical Chemical, Biological, Radiation
  Nuclear Environment (CBRNE)
• To produce epidemiologic data that provides
  casualty generation over time, morbidity (degree
  of severity) and mortality numbers to determine
  impact on available medical resources,
  identification of medical shortfalls that would
  generate a federal response and subsequently a
  DoD response
• Intel capabilities, processes, and products that
  may provide Indications Warnings of CBRNE
  attack
• Modeling of terrorist activities at squad
  entity level
• Weapons effects, both immediate (blast, EMP,
  radiation, etc) and delayed (site
  contamination/denial, incubation rate, rates of
  disease, cross-contamination, etc)
• Monitoring and detection capabilities that would
  alert a JFC of attack
• Environmental impacts on weapon effects (winds,
  rain, etc)
• Impact of CBRNE attack (through the Civil
  Environment) on civil infrastructure, economy,
  and populace (e.g. loss of utilities, stock
  market scare/disruption, mass casualties, panic,
  etc)
• Ability of military, federal, or local
  firefighter/HAZMAT teams to decontaminate sites,
  equipment, and personnel

22
Future Development

• Effects Based Approach to Operations
• Insure accurate and realistic representation and
  positioning of targets within the simulation
  environment
• More realistic portrayal of infrastructures
  such as communications and electrical grids gas
  and oil pipelines rail lines, roads, and other
  transportation features
• Better modeling of psychological effects either
  through conventional military operations or
  through PSYOPS missions
• Enhance modeling of weapons capabilities and
  effects (both lethal and non-lethal) on the
  intended targets (first order effects)
• Enhance cumulative effects resulting from the
  aggregation of direct and indirect effects at
  varying levels of war
• Enhance cascading effects that can ripple through
  an adversary target system and influence other
  related target systems as well
• Re-assessment for effects/damage to targets and
  target systems to assist in the battle damage
  assessment (BDA) process
• C4I Enhancements
• Improve interface with C4I systems
• GCCS, C2PC, TADIL, VOI, NORAD
• Higher level of fidelity in reporting
• Support upper enclave reporting
• Upper enclave support with TACSIM-NWARS
• NWARS-NG integration
• Joint Intelligence Model (JTIM) integration

23
Future Development

• Ground Forces
• Fortifications
• Capture / Surrender
• Human Effects Factors
• Attacker Facing Direction
• Movement along polygonal rivers and roads
• Terrain
• Riverine characteristics Including
• Navigability
• Currents
• Polygonal rivers, roads and rail
• Smooth movement of ground forces
• High Resolution Units (HRU) Enhancements
• SOF activities, amphibious ops, overwatch and
  attack convoys, etc
• Model terrorist groups, civil authorities, etc
• Logistics
• Incorporate ITV for supply movement by ships,
  barges, trains and convoys
• Link sustainment, consumption and requisition
  capability to depots factories through Joint
  Distributed Logistics Model (JDLM)

24
Future Development

• Web-Enabled After Action Review (ARR) Tool (Event
  History)
• Capture scenario data during run-time
• Produce reports for adjudication and analysis
• Current version is Air centric will expand
  capabilities in future releases
• Lanchestrian/Ground combat analysis (who did what
  to who, when, where, and with what)
• JMRM Development
• ELS development and integration with JCATS
• JTLS C4I integration with other devices/systems
• NATO / NC3A development/support
• Try to maintain lock-step development between
  JTLS and JCATS
• Rapid Database Generation
• Continue to evolve rapid database generation
  through web-based capabilities
• Continue integration with Unity Generation
  Utility (UGU)
• Virtual Support
• Continue integration with U.S. systems
  (MUSE/AFSERS)
• Explore links with other virtual simulations and
  simulators (U.S. NATO)
