 Canadian OneSAF Update  Captain Chris TaffProgram Manager: C2 Simulation for Land Operations  Outline Background: Canadian Army Simulation stakeholders Status of Canadian OneSAF use Simulation Framework Tools update Background(or, who does what to whom) Relationships Materiel Group | Land Equipment | Land Command Systems | Program Manager - Simulation Land Staff Headquarters | Land Force Doctrine and Training System | Directorate of Land Synthetic Environments Relationships (2) Canadian OneSAF Status Status Canada has received foreign build 1.0a (domestic build 1.5) Use has been limited to installation and trial by DLSE Canada should have the new foreign build this week and so be based on domestic build 2 This build may be suitable for experimentation by our defence scientists Likely not yet suitable for training (next slide) OneSAF for training Each build is evaluated for use in Command and Staff Training Criteria for evaluation * must provide greater training benefit than current constructive simulations * must be an open, flexible system (existing standards and protocols are preferred) * must be able to incorporate Canadian doctrine * must have a predictable requirements, development and delivery cycle * must include good technical support Framework and Tools Update Core of the Framework: VCCI Virtual – Command and Control Interface Grew out of simulation-independent C2 stimulation JC3IEDM data model Leveraged to provide data capture for AAR, sim-independent UAV visualization, ISR products Constructive Simulation Framework SimSpeak Low-cost simulated voice radio comms for exercises Deployed Sept 2008, in use at all Sim Centres Radio (Windows/Linux) Logger Console WAN Bridge VCCI-enabled for data capture and AAR UAV Simulation Provides UAV visualization independent of… Simulation protocol JCATS (DIS) CAST/ABACUS (propietary) Simulation level: entity- or aggregate-based Deaggregation based on Canadian doctrine
