· B. MANEUVER & COMBAT OPERATIONS (AIR, GROUND, MARITIME DOMAINS) – This topic area consists of a broad range of entity and aggregate modeling and simulation capabilities in the Air, Ground, and Maritime domains with particular focus on aspects of the Maneuver warfighting function and maintenance of the current state of simulation objects. The items include modeling constraints such as movement rates, route trafficability, control measures, weather, and environmental factors. Additional items related to the transportation of entities or supplies include load capacity, timing, and changes of state. Detailed modeling should consider transitions between domains, equipment and human fatigue, suppression effects, degradation, denial, and destruction of entities. Force protection operations should be also modeled to include entrenchment effects and timing, force protection levels, and Mission Oriented Protective Posture (MOPP) operations and constraints.

The items include fires execution activities such as implementation of Fire Support Coordination Measures (FSCM), fire mission types, methods of control, and target reference points. Fires delivery must include coordination timelines, flight trajectories, and probabilistic localization accuracy for all classes of projectiles including ballistic, directed flight, and semi-autonomous. Fires delivery should also consider relevant countermeasures and the terminal accuracy of the munition. In addition to projectiles, this topic also addresses Non-Lethal fires and Non Projectile fires including sea and land mines. The effects of fires on simulation objects must be modeled and should consider the weapon type and target type/state combination, suppression effects, and collateral damage. Finally, the capability and effectiveness of a firing unit to provide fires must be modeled as a function of the state of the particular unit.

Damage to the facilities should be modeled according to the specific functions affected by the attack with relevant functions being lost or degraded. The efficiency of specific functions should also consider environmental factors in addition to the current state. The concept and timelines for repairs to facilities should also be represented. The modeling should account for temporary or transitory facilities including forward arming and refueling points (FARP).

· Fixed Targets & Facilities

· F. C4ISRT NETWORKS AND KILL WEBS – This topic seeks to address the procedural and physical information and decision flow through the command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and targeting (C4ISRT) networks to effectively model the coordination between the various warfighting functions to achieve effects on targets. The relevant processes include aspects of planning, directing, tasking, collecting, processing, producing, and disseminating information, including network transmission. Network transmission modeling should account for node locations and links, information size, data/error rates, bandwidth, and latency. Network nodes can be fixed sites or mobile and should be susceptible to damage states and degraded performance.

SENSING AND SIGNATURE MANAGEMENT (SIGMAN) – This topic encompasses the modeling and simulation of different sensor phenomena and the sensor abilities to detect and classify specific targets under a variety of conditions including modeling of the target signatures that can be detected. Sensor types include electro-optic (EO), infrared (IR), synthetic aperture radar (SAR), wide-area motion imagery (WAMI), light detection and ranging (LIDAR), multispectral imagery (MSI), hyperspectral imagery (HSI), acoustic, magnetic, haptic, radio frequency (RF) based signals for Signals Intelligence (SIGINT), and CBRNE systems. Sensor detection capabilities should model the sensor capabilities versus the target attributes and take into account environmental conditions, countermeasures, and camouflage. The models should also simulate the timelines for the sensing and detection/classification processing operations as well as the status and resource requirements for the sensing system including multi-static and distributed sensing systems. This topic should also model signature management (SIGMAN) operations and their effects on sensor effectiveness.
