Welcome to Operation Blended Warrior at I/ITSEC. We are very excited this year to continue a multi-year journey to explore the potential for Live, Virtual and Constructive capabilities to revolutionize training, education and testing for the defense and security sectors. This year we are expanding to include long haul feeds, multi-level security, cross domain solutions and performance measurements into the OBW solution.

These are exciting times for LVC. I have personally seen tremendous interest at all levels of government and industry to tap into this vast mountain of capability and make smart investments in the use of LVC environments in support of training and education. Government support for OBW is expanding as leaders discover the value of this unique development environment and look hard at how this development network might be made more persistent. Interest in OBW is growing as the number of participants has grown from 31 to 50 this year. Where else can industry get into the same room with government leaders to help shape their requirements and dramatically increase the speed of integration of LVC products? The value proposition is clear.

NTSA is committed to supporting this year’s I/ITSEC theme “pushing the training envelope; live – virtual – constructive” by helping our leaders inside the government shape the requirements for synthetic environments. It is clear to the services that LVC has great potential but the challenge remains how to clearly define the requirements and effectively communicating them to industry so that they can align their own research and development towards common objectives. We are on a good path but there is much work to be done.

OBW is a unique R&D environment and a model for how government and industry can team to create standards and solutions. One of the benefits I have observed from OBW planning is the tremendous collaboration between government and industry. It has been gratifying to see companies bring close-hold capabilities to the table and to share software solutions. We are also bringing industry ideas and innovations to the same forums, and through intense dialogue, we will speed these capabilities to the force. OBW is not just a demonstration; it is research, requirements, testing and results, and many concepts and innovations will be showcased to senior leaders on the I/ITSEC show floor.

The OBW team has worked tirelessly to continue this important work. In addition to our corporate sponsors, my special thanks to the US Air Force for leading this year’s effort, the continued Navy support, and a special tip of the hat to Kent Gritton, Gary Fraas and the OBW IPT for their spectacular efforts. Remember, we are pursuing a structured research agenda that will have an impact, so, get involved, ask questions and give us your feedback as we “push the training envelope through integration of live, virtual and constructive” capabilities.

Letter from the NTSA President

O p e r a t i O n B l e n d e d W a r r i O r2

WhAT iS OBW?OBW is a collaborative LVC event conducted between DoD and Industry for the purpose of uncovering and documenting the challenges to rapidly developing and integrating a training LVC environment. Capitalizing on the phenomenal capabilities demonstrated at I/ITSEC by our industry partners, OBW has developed a networked architecture to allow those capabilities to be integrated in a fashion representative of their real-life intended purpose. In this manner, I/ITSEC attendees are not only able to see industry’s capabilities in a highly representative environment, but talk to LVC experts about the challenges (and potential solutions) associated with integrating the various capabilities together. Whether the challenge to LVC is standards, database interoperability, cyber, performance measurement, cross-domain solutions, or distributed after action review, OBW has developed a construct to better understand and demonstrate those challenges. The National training and Simulation association (ntSa) is proud once again to be the OBW 2016 sponsor.

WhAT iS LVC?live, Virtual, and Constructive (lVC) Simulation - A broadly used taxonomy describing a mixture of live, virtual, and constructive simulation.

live Simulation - Live simulation involves real people operating real systems. Military training events using real equipment are live simulations. They are considered simulations because they are not conducted against a live enemy.

Virtual Simulation - A simulation involving real people operating simulated systems. Virtual simulations inject human-in-the-loop in a central role by exercising motor control skills (i.e., flying an airplane), decision skills (i.e., committing fire control resources to action) or communication skills (i.e., as members of a C4I team).

Constructive Simulation - A constructive simulation includes simulated people operating simulated systems. Real people stimulate (make inputs) to such simulations, but are not involved in determining the outcomes. A constructive simulation is a computer program. For example, a military user may input data instructing a unit to move and to engage an enemy target. The constructive simulation determines the speed of movement, the effect of the engagement with the enemy and any battle damage that may occur.

Why OBW/LVC? In the age of shrinking budgets and ever increasing adversary capabilities/complexities, it is becoming more difficult and expensive to conduct realistic, effective and flexible training.

LVC can be used to increase the fidelity of training and the number of people trained while simultaneously reducing the cost. Additional progress can be made as integration of LVC assets is a lengthy and resource intensive effort.

OBW is a representative LVC event. While the objectives are different, OBW was planned and its technologies integrated similar to the real world. The challenges uncovered will be addressed through LVC communities. the goal is to reduce the time and resources to develop and employ this important capability.

LVC is the future of readiness. The Warfighter and their platforms need LVC. The taxpayer deserves a fiscally prudent LVC. OBW is designed to improve LVC.

DiSTRiBUTED TRAiNiNg CENTER (DTC)

The Distributed Training Center (DTC) is the hub where the Live, Virtual, and Constructive (LVC) units are organized. It controls and coordinates the synthetic battle space; it provides role playing, technical oversight and has the God’s eye view.

the DtC has three main components: blue stations labeled 1-4 and 13; white/red stations labeled 5-8; tech stations labeled 9-12.

The Blue Cell depicts a typical watch team conducting an event. The Watch Commander (#13) is separated and controlling the four watch stations: C4I in the lower right (#1), air and ground operations on the next two stations (#2-3), and naval forces on the station closest to the stage (#4). The stations are equipped with Joint Semi-Automated

Forces (JSAF), Command and Control Personal Computer (C2PC), Next Generation Threat System (NGTS) and Excite.

The White/Red Cell is combined in the OBW version. The red Cell provides overall strategic coordination of the forces the Blue Cell is “combatting”. The White Cell provides adjudication services as required and ensures training activity occurs through the use of injected events. The four stations are equipped with JSAF, NGTS, and for cyber the Network Effects Emulation System (NE2S).

the technical team ensures all of the simulation, video, and communications necessary to enact the event remain in optimum training configuration. Besides the Tech Control station (#12), the other three stations (from left to right) are for communications, simulations, and video.

BaLBOaSmall, second world nation with no significant military capability. Constantly threatened from the north. Major airport (San Diego) is a regional hub, important for stability.

UNITED STATESSmall, remote U.S. detachment garrisoned for a number of years at dual-use airfield (Miramar). Resident forces only small units, light mech. Staging and resupply areas available. Nearby U.S. air-field abroad (El Centro) available and pre-supplied for Expeditionary Air Force Operations. U.S. Navy operates in littoral waters frequently. CVBG available within 36-48 hours. Small (15-20 person) consulate just beyond airfield. NGOs operate relief and infrastructure support efforts in Northern Hills.

COALITION FORCESFrequently rotate through Balboa to show support, unity with U.S. Sometimes NATO, sometimes not. (Not strictly a NATO peace-keeping force. Loose command and control – no unified coalition commander.)

anDreaSanA regional power. Non-trivial military and paramilitary forces (Armed like Algeria). Strong IADS; 4th gen fighters and SAMs. Strong conventional ground forces. Four subs with Surface to Surface Missiles, frigates and corvettes. Big issues: mobile TBMs, SAMs, could be brought down from north into Balboa, putting CVBG in range, denying use of airspace.

raptOrBalboa Opposition Party: Revolutionary Action Party to Oppose Repression (RAPTOR). A militant group in Balboa opposing the rumored accumulation of wealth by top government officials. RAPTOR is being manipulated and supported by a key social media organizer in Andreasan (Carlos Jakal).

ETHNIC MINORITY SKIVSFactions (Basilone and Elsa-Goonda) in northern Balboa supportive of Andreasan. Known to threaten NGOs and Balboan Security forces in the Northern Hills region. Elsa-Goonda Skivs are the poorest and most deprived faction/tribe of the Skivs.

CHanneLStOniaAn island nation belligerent to western and European interests. It consists of two major islands, and lies approximately 70 miles off the western coast of Balboa; the majority of Channelstonia’s population lives on the northern island. Channelstonia possesses a small air force of older fighters.

ETHNIC MAJORITY AVALONIANSWithin Channelstonia, avalonians are a mixture of various Skiv and other ethnic nationalities, mixed with many secular peoples from many nations.

ETHNIC MINORITY CLEMENTINESThe Clementines are herders and fishermen indigenous to the southern of the two Channelstonia islands.

aiD WOrKerSIn northern hills there are many small groups of missionaries, relief agencies, and commensurate commercial support. Some have engaged private security firms.

ETHNIC MINORITY KAPISTRANOSLargely self-sufficient and mostly consisting of professionals and merchants, they rarely involve themselves in regional conflict.

COMMERCIAL FISHING FLEETLarge fleet operates along the coast between major ports.

CRUISE LINESSeveral cruise lines operate out of the major port in Andreasan (Long Beach).

ETHNIC MINORITY WALTSBERRYGarden spot of Andreasan. Exclusive, well governed and well policed. Politically moderate, ethnically diverse but highly influenced by western European progressive ideals and culture.

ETHNIC MINORITY ANDREASAN HEIGHTS

Formerly the gem of the coast. Ethnically diverse, with a large percentage of the population being expatriates.

ETHNIC MINORITY LAGUNISTAS The aboriginal tribal owners of all lands from Elsa-Goondo to the Sanloo-Isray River.

neLLiStine Nellistine is a large desert nation with tall mountain ranges to the east. It stays neutral in the growing dispute involving Balboa, Andreasan, and Channelstonia.

PALMIRINAS palmarinas is an arid desert nation that remains neutral in foreign affairs.

CentrOeL Centroel is a mostly desert nation to the east of Balboa. It lies next to the disputed territory where the militant Skivs and RAPTOR are building a power base.

OBW Thank you LetterIf Operation Blended Warrior 2015 was an amazing event (and it was), OBW 2016 will be even more so! Our focus areas last year were standards, after action review, and cyber operations. We learned quite a lot regarding standards, databases, and pertinent policies as we put together an intricate DIS based event. This year we are looking to expand our knowledge through use of a much more complex network and expanding our focus areas to include those from 2015 along with multi-level security/cross-domain solutions and performance measurements.

While our approach to the event is very similar to 2015, instead of providing 15 discrete 30 minute vignettes, we are running 5 continuous battle threads (aviation, ground, maritime, cyber, and C4I) that will run concurrently throughout all 5 special event windows. The advantage will be an ability to demonstrate more and varied LVC activities (and their associated challenges) within the same 7.5 hours of special event timeframe. None of this could have been possible without the dedication of so many helping hands in putting this informative special event together. Without a doubt, the most impressive part of OBW has been the people involved and the collegial approach by all who participated in OBW planning.

Without the contributions by the MANY participating organizations and their teams, OBW would not be possible. While we cannot mention by name all the people who provided so much to make OBW 2016 a reality, there are a few that absolutely deserve special recognition. First and foremost is dr� angus T� Mclean (Rockwell Collins) for leading the vignette creation portion of OBW. Equally important on the technical side is david Kotick (naWCtSD) for designing the Distributed Training Network that made the virtual environment possible. The 2016 Integrated product team (in alphabetical order): ron allen (CUBIC/General Dynamics), derek Bryan (USPACOM J81), dr� Michael Genetti (Rockwell Collins), Fred Fleury (Zedasoft), Jaclyn Hoke (Rockwell Collins), rob lechner (Boeing), Paul Phillips (USAF), roy Scrudder (ARL-UT), Jerry Sirmans (peO Stri), Juliana Slye (GovBizResults), and Bryan Spaulding (VTMAK). And last, but not least, are the battle thread leads for organizing their teams of people in creating a compelling special event (in alphabetical order): ron allen (CUBIC/General Dynamics), George Cox (Camber), larry Flint (USPACOM J81), anthony reimer (PLExSYS) and dr� Michael Woodman (SAIC).

Regardless the metric used, (61% growth in participating companies/organizations, 93% growth in the number of integrated applications, or 153% increase in discrete LVC events), the result of the OBW team’s combined efforts has been the creation of an event that will easily surpass the inaugural Operation Blended Warrior.

It has been a real pleasure working with each and every one of the OBW team -- our hats are off to all of you. Thank You for making Operation Blended Warrior 2016 successful!
