RDA Domain Use of OneSAF
OneSAF.
has demonstrated significant progress since the
release of version 1.0, the RDA domain is in the
process of transitioning to OneSAF. Some
components of RDA are currently using a version
of OneSAF.

• OneSAF is critical to RDA
• Integral component for MATREX
• Test Evaluation -- Model-Test-Model
• FCS is currently using OneSAF
• Some RDECOM organizations will use OneSAF for
  analysis experimentation purposes
• Transitioning from legacy simulations (OTB,
  Janus-A) to OneSAF
• Near-Term
• OneSAF close to meeting today's needs
• Much focus has been placed on loading of weapon
  system performance data and data collection
  analysis capabilities
• Currently being used to support some applications
• Way Ahead
• RDA will require new requirements to keep up with
  changing technologies

OneSAF Survivability Suite (OS2) Initiative
AMSAA is currently developing OS2 to enhance its
item-level analysis capability.

• OS2 Objective
• Build an item-level performance simulation for
  evaluation of Other-Than-Armor (OTA)
  survivability approaches that models dynamic
  processes to provide a detailed representation of
  technologies and tactics that protect against
  direct fire and top attack threats.
• OS2 Solution
• Build High Fidelity Physical/Behavioral Models on
  Top of OneSAF
• Enhance and Add Representation of Threat
  Munitions
• Mobility
• Guidance/Designation
• Enhance and Add Representation of Hit Avoidance
  Suite Components
• Hit Avoidance Suite Controller (HASC)
• Sensors
• Countermeasures (CM)
• Enhance and Add Representation of
  Physical/Behavioral Components and Compositions

11
OS2 Features

• Represents Ground Platforms, Army and Joint,
  Future and Current.
• Represents One-on-One and Few-on-One Engagement
  Conditions.
• Represent Integrated Performance of Unlimited
  Combinations of Survivability Technologies and
  Tactics.

12
Summary

• Continue with transition planning and execution
  efforts
• Participate in OneSAF user assessment events
• Promote Domain co development activities
• Encourage Cross Domain Collaboration
