Select one of the links below.
- Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense (OASD),
Special Operations / Low Intensity Conflict (SO/LIC):
This project involved defining the analysis requirements
for Costing OOTWs, designing forces for OOTWs, simulating the impacts of events
in OOTWs, and making recommendations.
- Defense Modeling and Simulation Office (DMSO):
This project involves specifying the architecture for and
creating an OOTW Toolbox.
- BC M&S S&T:
Participated in project for the US Army Battle Command
Simulation & Experimentation (BCSE), G3/5/7, to
create Roadmap for Battle Command (BC) Modeling &
Simulation (M&S) Science & Technology (S&T).
- Future Combat System (FCS): This was a
FIST project headed by Oak Ridge National Lab (ORNL) to
investigate problems and solutions with the M&S
required by the FCS ORD FCS
Commonality Study.
- Internal Research & Development: This project
involved creating a tracking tool for OOTWs, the Interim Static Stability Model
(ISSM). The ISSM was upgraded to the Interim Semi-static Stability
Model , a full scale Diplomatic, Information,
Military, Economic (DIME) / Political, Military,
Economic, Social, Infrastructure, Information (PMESII)
tool.
- Historical Validation of
Attrition Algorithms: Performed for The Joint
Staff/J-8, this work consisted of investigation
of historical battle results data. A new, validated
attrition algorithm has been developed. A macro model was
developed, the Oak Ridge Spreadsheet Battle Model
(ORSBM), which is being used in analysis and teaching.
Published the book Predicting
Combat Effects in 2001.
- Simulator Network for Training (SIMNET-T): Performed for the
Army Training and Doctrine Analysis Command (TRAC),
this project consisted of an independent verification and
validation (IV&V) of SIMNET-T's compliance with
design specifications and validation of its satisfaction
of users' requirements. This had never been done before
and defined the methodology.
- Combined Model Database
Definition: Performed for TRAC, this
work consisted of examining the possibility of producing
a common database for the Joint Exercise Support System
(JESS), Corban, and other Corps level combat simulations.
- Korean Battle Simulation Center
(BSC): Technical lead for a $9 million, two year
project in Korea and the U.S. to design and build the
Korean BSC for the Combined Forces Command Korea,
a prototype battle simulation center, a facility large
enough to support division level training exercises on
its own and containing the technology to enable links
with other BSCs during major exercises. Integrated 11
simulations to support exercises. This project involved
the use of the Aggregate Level Simulation Protocol (ALSP)
to connect previously unrelated interactive simulations
into a world-wide distributed simulation confederation
for training. Built and maintained the simulation
databases. Operated the facility in order to define the
proper procedures.
- Modern Aids to Planning Program (MAPP) Model Improvement:
Principal Investigator for integration of The
Joint Staff/J-8 MAPP, a $6-10 million/year,
multi-year computer war games project. This project
involved design, implementation and improvement of
several simulations and their support structure.
Associated research included development of an expert
system for Air Task Order (ATO) generation and the topology of the clustering
algorithm.
- Combat Modeling Projects for The Joint Staff: Managed the
conversion of combat models from IBM computers to
Honeywell computers. Set standards and edited
documentation for the Vector-1, TANDEM, and UNICORN
combat models. Performed IV&V on the TAC CONTENDER combat model.
- Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA): As part of a
team, created a VV&A Methodology for Conflict Modeling, Planning and Outcome
Experimentation (COMPOEX), a DIME/PMESII
simulation, including novel methods to support rapid validation under
conditions of model changes and novel methods to support causal tracing.
- Naval Research Laboratory (NRL): This project involved
providing advice on DIME/PMESII tools.
- National Defense University (NDU): This project involved
chairing a working group on DIME/PMESII tools and verification & validation
in a HSCB Workshop, co-chairing the Synthesis
Working Group in the second workshop, and writing and editing the
proceedings.
