Abstract
Project Summary: This project's goal was to establish an ability for the Navy's N9 Warfare Systems Directorate to develop insights regarding the impact of planned and scheduled future naval capabilities on the operational success of U.S. naval forces. To accomplish this goal, research efforts combined systems engineering, operations research, and modeling and simulation to develop an Integration and Operations Support System (IOSS) that provides an experimentation environment to assist in forming a solid cost position for technological and doctrinal change, while identifying trade space for balancing budgetary and security issues. The IOSS is an innovative use of scenario methodologies, computer simulation, and experimentation to shape a strategic analysis framework for mission engineering, based on a scenario from an actual computer aided exercise, Cobra Gold 2018 (CG18). The Joint Theater Level Simulation (JTLS) drives the operational vignettes for the training audience in this multinational exercise. Our approach was to automate the CG18 exercise, thereby creating a repeatable experimentation environment in which a knowledgeable team could form credible, analytically derived insights about the potential impacts of introducing new systems. We generalized this approach and provided a proof-of-concept demonstration by using IOSS to investigate the effects of introducing future unmanned aerial and underwater systems into an operational context.
