TACTICAL WARFARE SIMULATION EVALUATION AND ANALYSIS SYSTEM/ AVIATION SYSTEM INTERFACE

PREPARED AN INTERFACE REQUIREMENTS SPECIFICATION FOR EMPLOYMENT OF THE TACTICAL WARFARE SIMULATION, EVALUATION, AND ANALYSIS SYSTEM WITH CURRENT AND PROJECTED AUTOMATED COMMAND AND CONTROL SYSTEMS SUPPORTINGTHE MARINE AIR WING AT THE MARINE AMPHIBIOUS BRIGADE AND FORCE LEVELS.THIS DOCUMENT WILL DESCRIBE INFORMATION EXCHANGE REQUIREMENTS FROM A FUNCTIONAL STANDPOINT, IDENTIFYING THE TYPE OF INFORMATION TO BE PASSED BETWEEN THE SYSTEMS, THE QUANTITY OF DATA TO BE TRANSFERRED, AND APPROPRIATE POINTS OF CONNECTIVITY BETWEEN THE SYSTEMS. BOTH AUTOMATED AND MANUAL INTERFACE METHODOLOGIES MAY BE DESCRIBED TO MEET THE INFORMATION EXCHANGE REQUIREMENTS. THE DOCUMENT WILL ALSO ADDRESS ISSUES PERTAINING TO THE USE OF TWSEAS TO MEET TRAINING OBJECTIVES, THEREBY PROVIDING GUIDELINES FOR EXERCISE PLANNERS AND CONTROLLERS IN SUCH AREAS AS DATA BASE INITIALIZATION, EXERCISE CONDUCT, AND EXERCISE EVALUATION. THE PROPOSED EFFORT WILL INVOLVE ANALYSIS OF CURRENT AND PROJECTED AIR COMMAND AND CONTROL SYSTEMS, IN TERMS OF BOTH HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE DESIGNS, TOGETHER WITH AN EXAMINATION OF CURRENT AND PROJECTED TWSEAS CAPABILITIES IN ORDER TO DETERMINE THE MOST EFFECTIVE MEANS OF PROMOTING AND OBTAINING INTEROPERABILITY AMONG THESE SYSTEMS IN AN EXERCISE ENVIRONMENT.
