Illustrative Example of Transformed Defense Forces

Example is inspired by the MPAT Pacifica Scenario

Road to Conflict



Pilot notices that JSF is losing fuel and smells fumes in the cockpit -Fault confirmed

Automated net-centric message sent to NATO C2 system (AWACS) on the Information Grid



AWACS controller, in concert with ground control, determines best landing site and communicates location to pilot

Triggers emergency landing procedures

Informs Commander of new operational status

Pilot lands safely at Coalition Airfield



German Medic confirms Canadian pilot identity through RFID enabled dog-tagMedical record accessed and potentially fatal drug interaction is avoidedSchedule follow-up medical appointment



Embedded mechanic from Lockheed Martin uses Class V IETM to determine that part has failed prematurely

Uses iUID data to trigger a safety of flight notice pending further investigation



After the medical screening, the pilot selects and accesses on their mobile device the debriefing “service” to provide feedback on the mission

Logbook and qualification profile has been automatically updated from the flight data and mission parameters

SAP’s Goals and Objectives @ CWID …

Supporting Decentralized ERP Systems interconnected to the homeland system

Providing organizational and resource data for Battle Management

Process Integration between Resource Management and Battle Management

Interoperability between Resource Management and Battle Management Systems across various IT security domains


Decentralized Resource Management System on board

Proof of serviceability of an Resource Management system on board to support the operation even in case of communication failureConducting processes within distributed personnel management andmaintenance scenarios using SAP‘s Product Data Replication (PDR) frameworkVerifying ease of administration as well as robustness facing communication failures

Challenges

•ADatP-3 - point-to-point, not robust, difficult to enhance

•MIP - standardized data model, lower bandwidth, offline capable, complex

•Predefined scenarios
