A Multi-Level COP Concept

French COP Concept

Integrate various picture from Tactical level up to strategical level

Command tool supporting Knowledge base, planning decision & C2 process

All relevant information: past, current and future

US COP Joint Vision 2020

Knowleged based process (Fires, ISR, Logistics & Manœuvre) for decision making

Not only CINC, CJTF, Component commander, but also real-time view of the battle space

A common vision of multi-level COP concept

Concept demonstration at JWID

The Joint Warfare Interoperability Demonstration (JWID) is a annual event that enables Command staff users to investigate C4I solution enhancing coalition interoperability.

JWID’01 French COP Objective

EUCOM/CTF Scenario ContextEUCOM/CTF Scenario Context

• Simulated USEUCOM Theater (SE Africa).

• Two hostile nations generate conventional subversion/invasion threat against two regional friendly nations.

• Hostile nations also plan/support/execute unconventional attacks inside the Continental US.

• Friendly nations ask, and receive, UN, US and NATO support to defend against hostile nations’ aggression.

• US-led CTF defends against regional aggression.

• USNORTHCOM and USEUCOM cooperate with mutual Intel and operations.

Lesson Learned

OPLAN data base import from TOPFAS Need for CoA updates (Blue and Red Forces position and CoA updates) A gap exist between an OPLAN and a scenario for simulation Need for Task indicators

Lack of criteria of success Poor information to correlate with the CROP

Land & Maritime situation import Lack of unit identification in AdatP-3 message sent

Difficulty to establish a comprehensive situation awareness CoA reliability

Situation Awareness dissemination Easy Screen shot exchange Limited Data exchange for end-user exploitation

Operational interest for COMPAS Red CoA comprehension Support for CJTF CAX exercise (Current use)

9779PT0028 – 31/07/2002 16

Recommendations

Need for a set of indicators to control planning execution Based on AdatP-3 data set or C2IEDM Data Model

Design specifically for each task

Define task status symbology Exemple for targeting: type and status of target, existing document, …

CoA simulation requires appropriate scenario editor Scenario interpretation of operational tasks

ISTAR operations required a real-time COP Air & Ground Tracks,
