One Semi-Automated Forces (OneSAF)
Challenge
OneSAF will be a composable,
next-generation computer generate forces (CGF) that can represent a full range of
operations, systems, and control processes from the
individual combatant and platform level to battalion level.
Unit behaviors and command entities will be modeled to the
battalion level for selected units.
Solution
DRC is a key participant in the SAIC
Architecture and Integration Team for the OneSAF program.
DRC is supporting OneSAF development in the following areas:
-
MANPRINT, Human Systems Integration,
and System Safety. DRC established the contractor's
MANPRINT Program for OneSAF A&I, documented the plan for
the MANPRINT Program and is leading the effort to
implement that plan throughout the OneSAF A&I contract.
DRC developed the OneSAF Objective System (OOS) User
Interface Style Guide that defines user interface
standards. DRC is also working closely with OneSAF A&I
developers to define requirements, create prototypes and
complete design for OneSAF user interfaces. DRC is
developing position descriptions and illustrated task
lists to support system engineering efforts. Due to the
close relationship between safety, training development,
user documentation and logistics support and MANPRINT,
DRC is also providing assistance in these domains.
-
Data Architecture and Repository
Lead. The OneSAF program has selected the Extensible
Markup Language (XML) as the Data Interchange Format
(DIF) across all OneSAF architecture components to
support platform-independent data interoperability. DRC
is leading the team of data engineers in support of all
data engineering activities on the OneSAF program.
In a related OneSAF effort, DRC is
conducting the Knowledge Acquisition and Engineering effort
under a subcontract to Aegis Technologies Group, Inc. DRC
leads the KA/KE effort to document required unit, behavior,
equipment and physical model descriptions (BLUFOR and OPFOR)
necessary for software development. This information,
coordinated across Army Battle Operating Systems and
validated by Army proponents, will also be used to
Validation and Verification (V&V) OneSAF models and
algorithms.
Benefits/Achievements
OneSAF will have a variable level of
fidelity that supports all models and simulations (M&S)
domains. It will accurately and effectively represent
specific activities of combat, command, control,
communications, computers, and intelligence (C4I), combat
support, and Combat Service Support (CSS). It will also
employ appropriate representations of the physical
environment and its effect on simulated activities and
behaviors.
