1.0 SCOPE

This Information Exchange Requirements (IER) Document identifies the requirements for

BMDS Modeling & Simulation (M&S) Participants to exchange data within the context of an open-architecture simulation environment. An information exchange requirement (IER) is the description, in terms of characteristics, of a requirement to transfer information between two or more participants within a simulation architecture. The characteristics described herein include source, recipients, contents, size, and timeliness. IERs are defined to be independent of the communications medium (e.g., protocol). The Objective Simulation Framework (OSF) is the

M&S Framework that provides the simulation infrastructure to link Participant Element representations in a common distributed simulation environment. This document defines the information exchange requirements to support the definition of the software and physical interfaces between Participant Element representations, including Hardware-In-The-Loop

(HWIL), within an integrated (GTI) or distributed (GTD) Ground Test environment.

1.1 Document Overview

This document specifies the OSF and BMD Element representation data exchanges, to include defined standards, data items, and sequencing information, for simulation data in support of PAA

Phase 3 Ground Test venue.

1.2 Document Structure

This section specifies the overall structure of the document:

Section 1 Specifies the Scope and System Overview of the BMDS Ground Test simulation environment.

Section 2 Identifies referenced documents.

Section 3 Provides a description of the logical interface exchange requirements between the

Participant Elements and the OSF. This section defines the simulation data exchange model that specifies the unique data elements supporting the simulation interface. This section also provides a description of specific simulation Execution phases which further organize the simulation data exchange requirements.

Section 4 Provides interface requirements traceability to the M&S Systems Requirements

Document (SRD).

Section A-G Appendices.

1.3 System Overview

The Missile Defense Agency’s (MDA) Ground Test architecture is designed to integrate BMDS

Element Representations in a distributed, real-time, battlefield environment to emulate tactical operations. Element Representations can include actual tactical elements, Digital simulation models, HWIL, or a combination thereof. HWIL Representations generally include tactical hardware and software components integrated with a simulation driver interface. This HWIL simulation interface provides the capability to operate tactical components within the simulation environment.

FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY

The Objective Simulation Framework (OSF) provides the mechanism that enables the BMD

M&S System to simulate missions via the production, transport, and use of information. The

OSF provides the simulation infrastructure to facilitate the Element and Truth representation interactions; and provides the overall simulation management and operation capability for the development and execution of BMDS M&S events. As noted in Figure 1.3-1 – OSF Simulation

Infrastructure, OSF maintains a series of Framework interfaces (center of graphic) to provide the simulation data exchange capability between the simulation participants. Simulation participants can include Element models, Truth models, support applications, and third-party applications.

This document defines the interface exchange requirements needed to construct the specific data exchange services implemented by the OSF to provide test and threat stimulation to the BMDS system. The Participant Elements will utilize the OSF-provided interface services to transmit and receive simulation data as part of the Ground Test event execution.

3.0 INTERFACE EXCHANGE REQUIREMENTS

The current Ground Test Single Stimulation Framework (SSF) and Objective Simulation

Framework (OSF) implement multiple stimulation interfaces at the M&S component level. That is, for each participating simulation asset, the unique interface implementation is specified by the respective SSF and OSF interface control documentation (ICD). Conversely, the goal of this document is to identify stimulation data (not protocol) available to all GT Participant Elements within the context of a single interface requirements document. The stimulation information data exchange requirements specified herein support the stimulation data exchange between

Participant Element and Truth Representations (to include models, supporting utilities, and

HWIL driver software), and the underlying OSF service groups designed to support simulation interoperability within a distributed simulation environment. The following sections identify simulation data exchange requirements per execution phase.

While the purpose of this document is to identify the simulation data exchange requirements for

BMDS GT applications, the specific implementation of the associated interfaces is beyond the scope of this document. As the BMDS M&S Framework(s) matures, it is expected that updated

Interface Control Documents (ICDs) will be produced to specify and document the specific interface implementation as provided by the Framework. Therefore, the IER document is responsible for documenting the overall simulation data exchange model (to include specific attributes, data types, units, etc.) with the understanding that the specific implementation, to include protocol, will be defined by the Framework (e.g., OSF) ICD.

3.1 Data Exchange Model Overview

Data exchanges are intended to immerse the BMDS Participant Element Representations in a synthetic battlespace environment to stimulate tactical actions and defensive responses

(intercepts, PID, and induced battlespace environments) to incoming threats. The simulation data exchanges defined by this document are binned into categories known as service groups. The simulation service groups provide a logical grouping of exchange requirements based on the type of simulation data, and how it is utilized within the integrated environment. In addition, specific phases of simulation execution are defined to further articulate the flow of specific events. The following section provides an overview of the simulation Execution phases, as well as a brief description of the supporting simulation service groups.

3.2 Data Exchanges by Execution Phase

For the purposes of understanding the generation of simulation data exchange information and the flow of event execution, a Ground Test event can be divided into three (3) primary phases of execution:

1. Pre-Execution

2. Execution

3. Post Execution

CONTAINED ON THIS SHEET IS

SUBJECT TO THE RESTRICTION

ON THE TITLE PAGE OF THIS

DOCUMENT

FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY

Figure 3.2-1 – Execution Phases

Figure 3.2-1 provides a time lapsed depiction of phases with detailed activities within each of the phases.

Pre-Execution phase describes activities that occur prior to the start of the Element

Representation application. These activities include the Blue Force laydown, their attributes, and the Integrated Data Package which includes distribution of a priori signature and threat information required by OSF and Element Representations prior to application startup. The IDP is the ITP plus scenario and interceptor information as defined in the GTISS SysML Model.

Execution phase refers to activities that occur from Element Representation application startup to their termination. Activities that occur before a wall clock start time are referred to as Pre-mission. Activities between wall clock start time and mission termination are referred to as mission time. After mission termination is referred to as post-mission. To aid in understanding the flow of information defined within the Execution phase, this document further divides the

Execution phase into 5 sub phases (Table 3.2-1):

Table 3.2-1 – Execution Sub Phases

Execution Sub Phase Description

Application Startup

Includes the test director and operator initiation of the execution of all Element Representation software and initial connectivity between participating Elements and OSF to support a test event.

Scenario Initialization Specifies the data exchanges required to the initial conditions and prescribed threat actions of the scenario for the test event.

Environment / Truth

Interaction Initialization

Describes the initialization parameters for all environment models and corresponding truth interactions used by each Element during the scenario.

Mission Execution

Describes the exchange of information that occurs when wall clock start time has been reached, signifying the execution start of the test event.

Mission Termination Exchange of information following all threat demise; or operator’s desire to terminate the test event mission execution.

Post Execution phase refers to activities that occur after Mission Termination when each

Element representation ceases to process stimulation data from the test participants in the context of the simulated scenario environment and cleanly closes all log files. This phase includes the

collection of recorded data, post processing of recorded data files, and other after action activities.

The individual IER functionality will be implemented by the OSF and will provide specific method/services to the participants to utilize as required by their respective level of participation.

Participants would utilize the methods/services provided by OSF to produce and consume data specific to their functionality. Participants will only be required to utilize the method/services that are applicable to their representation requirements.

Figure 3.2-2 – Notional GTISS Logical Internal Block Diagram

Figure 3.2-2 shows notional logical connectivity between GTISS components. This document focuses on data transported across the “Test and Control”, “Environment & Scenarios”, “Pre-

Execution” and “Test Setup” paths. The OSF will implement the public services that will be utilized by all external participants to support test event interoperability. The IERs defined by this document provide the basis for the public services implemented by the OSF.

3.2.1 Pre-Execution Data

Prior to the Execution phase, each participant in the architecture requires information to support interconnectivity, as well as a priori object signature and environment information. This includes information for network connectivity, entity identification, and mapping from planned scenario

FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY

objects to Element specific threat and blue force signatures. The following sections describe data requirements and file formats for each type of pre-execution data.

3.2.1.1 Network Configuration

Network connectivity between participating Elements and OSF will be required to facilitate the exchange of simulation information identified within this document. Information required by each Element participant to establish connectivity prior to application execution can vary depending on the selected information exchange protocol.

It is not the intent of this document to specify the design solution for the interface protocol implementation. This section exists to highlight the need to identify the interface implementation information within the OSF Interface Control Document (ICD).

3.2.1.2 Site, Application, Entity ID

The Framework implements an entity object identification scheme to support high object count requirements. This object identification scheme utilizes a Site, Application, Entity (S/A/E) combination (Table 3.2-2) similar to the Entity Id field of the Entity State PDU as specified by the Distributed Interactive Simulation, Version 6 (DIS) standard. OSF also supports the S/A/E identifiers for Blue Force Element entity state (ownship) information as identified in Appendix A of this document. Each Blue Force Element representation will be assigned an S/A/E identifier that will be used for their identification via the Test Event Configuration IER as specified in

Table 3.2-9 – Test Event Configuration IER. OSF will be required to maintain this entity assignment information for each scenario, and for each Element participant prior to execution.

Table 3.2-2 – Site/App/Entity Data Type Description

Field Description Data Type Unit

Site/App/Entity Site 16-bit Unsigned Integer Enum

App 16-bit Unsigned Integer Enum

Entity 32-bit Unsigned Integer Enum

To support threat complex, interceptor debris, and threat debris entity representation, the S/A/E identifiers will be implemented as follows:

Each individual static threat complex is assigned a unique S/A: 100/1, for threat complex 1;

100/2 for threat complex 2; etc. Post intercept debris created from the threat will be placed into the complex S/A (e.g., 100/1) of the intercepted threat. Interceptor debris fragments will be placed within the threat complex S/A (e.g., 100/1) for intercepted threat complex.

As an example, consider a static threat complex that has 10 objects (i.e., 100/1/1-10), and the planned debris generation is 200 fragments for threat and 20 fragments for interceptor. Upon first intercept of this threat, interceptor debris would be assigned S/A/E 100/1/11-30 and threat debris would be assigned S/A/E 100/1/31-230. Subsequent intercepts of objects within the 100/1 complex would begin assigning S/A/E IDs beginning at 100/1/231 using the same scheme described above

Site/App/Entity Enumerations are identified in Appendix A.

3.2.1.3 RF Signature File Information

Radio Frequency (RF) Sensor Elements to be stimulated within a test event will utilize a Radar

Cross Section (RCS) mapping file that associates numerical signature identifiers (signature ID’s)

SUBJECT TO THE RESTRICTION

ON THE TITLE PAGE OF THIS

DOCUMENT

FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY

to single RCS values, statistical RCS initialization values, or to files containing RCS Scattering

Center Models (SCM). RCS SCM formats can represent multiple frequency, multiple spatial dimensions, and specific polarization information.

Each of these signature IDs will map to known objects or object classes in the simulation representation, including threat, debris, and interceptors.

The RCS files, referenced in the mapping file, are distributed to the Elements as part of the

Integrated Data Package (IDP) prior to application execution within a defined directory structure.

The IDP provides various RCS file formats, depending on radar band or radar specific needs.

Table 3.2-3 indicates the specific signature file formats provided by the ITP per band, along with the corresponding Element representations that utilize them:

3.2.1.3.1 Radar Cross Section Enhanced Statistical File

The Radar Cross Section (RCS) Enhanced Statistical file format is a proposed format that provides a Statistical Radar Cross section representation for a trackable object. This format is derived from the Enhanced CORS format documented in the Threat Modeling and Simulation

System (TMSS) Interface Requirements Specification (IRS). Whereas the TMSS version documents a single size attribute, the following version identifies both a Principal Polarization electrical length and an Orthogonal Polarization electrical length. For linear polarized sensors, only the PP attributes would be used in a standard CORS application(See appendix B for CORS

Definition).

There is one file for each threat object type that is being characterized using this statistical technique. Table 3.2-4 identifies the format for the Radar Cross Section (RCS) Enhanced

Statistical file.

3.2.1.3.2 Radar Cross Section Signature Mapping File

The Radar Cross Section (RCS) Signature Mapping file assigns a signature ID to specific a priori signature information for all applicable (e.g., threat, debris, etc.) object types included within the given scenario. Objects of the same type will reference the same signature ID. This approach provides the capability for each sensor Element Representation to pre-load the RCS information prior to mission execution allowing rapid table lookups for RCS data based on kinematic state data. Signature information can exist as simple (single RCS value), or consist of a reference to statistical or scattering center formats identified in Table 3.2-3 above. The RCS Signature

Mapping File format is specified in

Table 3.2-5. The signature ID will be included in object state updates to associate the applicable object with a specific RCS representation. Unless otherwise specified, each field of the table represents a line in the file ending with a line feed character. The file can contain any number of signature IDs the respective signature information. Each signature ID definition starts with a table header and ends with the word “End”.

3.2.1.4 Emitter Mapping File

The Emitter Mapping file associates an emitter ID to specific capabilities for all threat object types that are passive or active emitters within the given scenario. If the object is an emitter, then the Emitter ID in the object state IER will be a non-zero number. The sensor element will use this emitter id to determine the effects of the emitter on its sensor returns. This approach provides the capability for each sensor Element Representation to pre-load the emitter information prior to mission execution allowing rapid table lookups for emitter data.

3.2.1.5 EO/IR Signature Files

Overhead Persistent Infrared (OPIR) Element participants utilize the “ECF_AZ” file format identified in Section 6.1.3 of the TMSS Interface Requirements Specification (IRS). This file contains Boost IR Plume signature data specified as Below the Horizon (BTH), Above the

Horizon (ATH), and Medium Wave Infrared (MWIR) source intensities (KW/sr) for a given scenario as a function of time and Earth Centered, Earth Fixed (ECEF) position. IR Hard body signature data is in the Optical Signature Code (OSC) BANDSIGS output file format with a 17 column to BANDSIGS file map. The OPIR model software will replay this file in synchronized time with the OSF stimulation of other Elements.

3.2.1.6 Cobra Dane Pre-scripted Input File

The Cobra Dane radar asset does not maintain a physical interface to the OSF. It uses a pre-computed binary file that contains both environment and scenario information that is procedurally replayed by Cobra Dane software and its operators. The file format used by Cobra

Dane is documented in the Interface Control Document for Single Stimulation Framework (SSF) and Cobra Dane, 900DSC1070.

3.2.2 Execution Phase

The Execution phase refers to activities that occur from Element Representation application startup to their termination. Activities between mission start time and mission termination are referred to as mission time. The period following mission termination is referred to as post-mission. This document divides the Execution phase into 5 sub phases to aid in understanding the flow of information.

In addition to the IER information presented, each Execution phase section will contain a high-level sequence diagram. The purpose of the sequence diagram graphics is to show notional information exchanges arranged in time sequence. The diagrams depict the high-level M&S components with the associated sequence of messages exchanged between the components to carry out the functionality of the Execution phase.

3.2.2.1 Application Startup Phase Exchanges

The Application Startup phase refers to the action of starting the execution of Element

Representation software to support a test event (Figure 3.2-3). Within this phase, each Element

Representation will establish communications with the OSF and verify time synchronization of their internal clock via GPS time code processor source. Time synchronization can also be accomplished thru a direct IRIG-B connection from a time code processor or by Network Time

Protocol, but the time source (i.e., the time code processor) should be within 100 microseconds1 of GPS time.

Information exchanged during this phase is used to verify interconnectivity between Elements and the OSF; to support test event accounting; and to and establish Element Representation

Health and Status reporting prior to moving into the Scenario Initialization phase.

Note 1 – The NTS-6000 and NTS-6000-Dual GPS and dual NTP time servers are typically accurate to 50 microseconds.

Figure 3.2-3 – Application Startup Sequence Diagram

3.2.2.1.1 Test Event Configuration IER

Upon the establishment of network communications to the Element participant, the OSF will transmit Test Event Configuration information (Table 3.2-9). The OSF will provide a

Site/App/Entity assignment that each participant will utilize throughout the test event. This information is also used for accounting purposes for each Element to identify recorded log file information to support post execution reporting. This IER includes a health, status, and error

Note 1 – Test Event ID is used to identify the venue and event name. Venue identification provides a mapping for data collected during this event to the BMDS Assessment space identified in the Venue Allocation CONOPS.

Examples of venues could be “GTI”, “SPMT”, “FastX”, etc. The test event component provides the Event name as a descriptive character string designation for an event.

Note 2 – This is for the receiving Element. Used in future communications exchanges with the OSF.

3.2.2.1.2 Element Configuration IER

After receipt of the Test Event Configuration IER, the Element will transmit their configuration information to OSF (Table 3.2-10). All Elements will provide their software and hardware version information. Radar sensor Elements will provide pertinent (as defined) information specific to their radar. OSF will utilize this information in later phases for environment and truth interaction calculations. Elements that are not radars will initialize these fields to “0”. The

Element Configuration information consists of the following information:

3.2.2.1.3 Health Status and Error IER

Health Status and Error IER is used by the participants to report their current status to the OSF during mission execution phase (Table 3.2-11). It is also used to indicate that the participant is ready to transition to the next phase of execution (See sequence in Error! Reference source not found.). Following receipt of the Test Event Configuration, the Element will provide a Health

Status and Error (HS&E) to OSF with the field Response Category set to “App Init” and

Component Status set to “Operational” indicating that the Element Representation is ready to transition to the next phase.

During the mission execution phase, starting when mission start time is reached, each Element will provide HS&E to the OSF at the rate specified within the Test Event Configuration IER with the Response Category set to “Mission HS&E”. The Component Status will be set to

“Operational” for the nominal case, or “Error/Issue” for the off-nominal case or if there is an error to report. The Element can provide an immediate HS&E message when an error occurs.

Health and Status information will consist of the following fields:

3.2.2.2 Scenario Initialization Phase Exchanges

After the Element Representation establishes communications during the App Startup phase and provides an initial HS&E to the OSF, the OSF will provide the scenario information for the given event. The Scenario Initialization phase identifies the data exchanges that describe the scenario for the test event (Figure 3.2-4).

OSF will transmit Scenario Initialization information (Table 3.2-12) to each Element

Representation after receipt of an initial Health Status and Error (HS&E) update with

“Operational” status.

This information will indicate the simulated mission time at the start of execution and the actual wall clock time of the start of execution. The phase transition to execution will be indicated by a

Start Mission IER after every participant is initialized and ready for mission execution. Time reference accuracy of the GPS set internal system clock of a participating Element will be within

Note 2 – RF Object Signature data file location is identified in the RF RCS Mapping file.

Note 3 – This provides a mechanism to assign a location and boresight to an Element that is different from their initial stated parameters. For those elements not able to be assigned a position, this will replicate the position provided in the element config IER. Elements without a boresight will be set to ‘0’.

Note 5 – Emitter file identifies a priori emitter information inputs sensor Elements. Ignored by non-users

3.2.2.2.2 Health Status and Error IER

When the Element Representation has verified its location, boresight and signature mapping files

(for sensor Elements), the Element Representation will issue an HS&E update with the response category set to “Scenario Init” and status set to “Operational”. If a data field within this exchange is not applicable to the receiving entity, it will set to zero. This action provides an indication to

OSF that the Element is ready to transition to the Environment and Truth Interactions phase. If the Element Representation determines that the initial configuration information is incorrect, then the Element will provide a HS&E update with status set to “Non-Operational” and provide the reason for the issue. An example of this would be that OSF provided a different location for a

THAAD emplacement than what the participating THAAD expected for its location. Matching locations should be within 1/1000th of a degree. The OSF will make the determination to proceed with the test or stop operations to correct the configuration. See Table 3.2-11 – Health Status and

Error IER.

3.2.2.3 Environment and Truth Interactions Initialization Phase Exchanges

Environment parameters are configured during the Scenario development process, and will be used as input to create the Truth Interaction (TI) calculations. Truth interactions are effects that a sensor Element will apply to create a perceived sensor return (e.g., attenuation, interference, or radiance). During this phase, the Environment parameters and corresponding Truth Interactions will be provided to the Element Representations (Table 3.2-5).
