Common Reference Scenario (CRS) Cornerstone of
Single Integrated Air Picture Capability Analysis

Agenda

• CRS Role
• CRS as a Tool
• Building a CRS
• CRS Structure
• CRS Functions
• Summary

3
Understanding the JSSEO and the CRS

• To understand the purpose and requirement of the
  JSSEO CRS we must first understand the mission of
  the Joint SIAP System Engineering Organization
  (JSSEO) and its analysis activities.

4
JSSEO Mission

• Institute a disciplined joint system engineering
  process to address and resolve interoperability
  problems in the implementation of the Joint Data
  Network (JDN)
• Develop the Single Integrated Air Picture (SIAP)
  component of the Theater Air Missile Defense
  (TAMD) Integrated Architecture (IA)

5
CRS Consistent Analysis Tool

• The CRS provides a foundation for analysis in
  support of the JSSEO Mission
• Scenarios have an established linage and a
  capability to present a full spectrum of
  activities
• Provides a controlled simulation environment
  supported by an extensive configuration
  management processes
• Encourages cross correlation of analysis results

The CRS provides the basis upon which JSSEO
analysis is conducted
6
Building the CRSSelecting the Campaigns

• The CRS scenarios begin with established
  campaigns that provide
• Extensive record of past use
• An established credibility lineage
• Applicability

CAMPAIGN

Building the CRS (cont.)Developing the Vignette

• The vignette provides a common basis for the SIAP
  analysis
• To a selected portion of the campaign, details
  are added to better define
• Threat
• Friendly forces
• Geographic environment

VIGNETTE

Building the CRS (cont.)Developing the Excursion

• The excursion is a portion of the vignette that
  is further enhanced to support specific analysis
  activities and to create a more detailed SIAP
  environment
• Excursions include tactics, rules of engagement,
  and detailed accredited component simulations
• Analysis using different excursions can be
  correlated since they share a well documented
  common vignette environment

Building the CRS (cont.)Developing the Network
Design

• Provides the communication structure of the
  command and control environment
• Establishes interface and connectivity
  requirements
• Establishes channels to support interoperability
  activities within the simulated environment
