Joint Semi-Automated Forces
Joint Semi-Automated Forces (JSAF) is a U.S. government owned and developed simulation system. It is widely used in training and experimentation. Current users include the Joint Forces Command, the Navy Warfare Development Command (NWDC), and the USMC DVTE program. JSAF was developed as part of the DARPA Synthetic Theater of War (STOW) Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration The Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration (ACTD) program was a Department of Defense research and evaluation initiative for mature, advanced technology for United States military usage.

United States Joint Forces Command
The United States Joint Forces Command (USJFCOM) was a Unified Combatant Command of the United States Department of Defense. USJFCOM was a functional command that provided specific services to the military. The last commander was Army Gen. Ray Odierno and the Command Senior Enlisted was Marine Sergeant Major Bryan B. Battaglia. As directed by the President to identify opportunities to cut costs and rebalance priorities, Defense Secretary Robert Gates recommended that USJFCOM be disestablished and its essential functions reassigned to other unified combatant commands. Formal disestablishment occurred on 4 August 2011. History USJFCOM was formed in 1999 when the old United States Atlantic Command was renamed and given a new mission: leading the transformation of the Department of Defense through experimentation and education. USLANTCOM had been active from 1947 to 1993 as a primarily U.S. Navy command, focused upon the wartime defence of the Atlantic sea lanes against Sovie ...

Navy Warfare Development Command
The Navy Warfare Development Command is a command of the United States Navy for the generation and development of innovations in concepts and doctrine for enhanced operational level maritime capability and integration in joint and coalition activities. It is currently located at Naval Station Norfolk, VA. The Navy Warfare Development Command team has a role in planning the future of the US Navy, not only in the tactical realm, but also at the operational and strategic levels. History In 1998, the Chief of Naval Operations established the Navy Warfare Development Command to coordinates the development of concepts of operations, doctrine, experimentation, and lessons learned in direct support of the fleet. The command also provides cutting-edge modeling and simulation for training, experimentation, and focused analysis. Concept Generation and Concept Development The Chief of Naval Operations initiated the Concept Generation and Concept Development program to encourage a cultu ...

DVTE
The Deployable Virtual Training Environment (DVTE) is a laptop based platform for a wide variety of training simulations in the USMCTRASYS web. DVTE consists of two main components, the Combined Arms Network (CAN) and the Infantry Tool Kit (ITK). A typical DVTE suite consists of 32 laptops and a modified NVisor SX Head-mounted display (HMD). The current version of the CAN was developed by the ONR VIRTE program as part of its Demo 3 and is based on the JSAF simulation. It uses the Open Source Delta3D toolkit for visualization. Each laptop can be reconfigured to simulate a variety of USMC platforms including the M1 Abrams, Amphibious Assault Vehicle (AAV), LAV-25, AV-8 Harrier II, and the AH-1 Cobra. The Infantry Tool Kit consists of a number of stand-alone games and simulations. The main simulation is a first-person shooter called VBS2. Other applications include: the DARPA developed DARWARS Tactical Iraqi (part of the Tactical Language & Culture Training System Tactic(s) or T ...

DARPA
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is a research and development agency of the United States Department of Defense responsible for the development of emerging technologies for use by the military. Originally known as the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA), the agency was created on February 7, 1958, by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in response to the Soviet Union, Soviet launching of Sputnik 1 in 1957. By collaborating with academia, industry, and government partners, DARPA formulates and executes research and development projects to expand the frontiers of technology and science, often beyond immediate U.S. military requirements.Dwight D. Eisenhower and Science & Technology, (2008). Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial CommissionSource The name of the organization first changed from its founding name, ARPA, to DARPA, in March 1972, changing back to ARPA in February 1993, then reverted to DARPA in March 1996. ''The Economist'' has called DARPA "the agency that ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration
The Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration (ACTD) program was a Department of Defense research and evaluation initiative for mature, advanced technology for United States military usage. These demonstrations allowed for cheaper and earlier evaluation of technology and systems than the formal acquisition process. An ACTD must be sponsored by an operational user, with approval and oversight from the now-terminated role of Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Advanced Systems and Concepts, or DUSD(AS&C), previously titled the Deputy USD for Advanced Technology, or DUSD(AT). The follow-on Joint Capability Technology Demonstration (JCTD) program was initiated by the deputy under-secretary in 2005. The new JCTD framework emphasized multiservice technology development and improvements in planning. ACTDs were replaced by JCTDs during about a three year span from 2005 to 2008. During 2006, the final round of ACTDs were up for selection, and in September 2006 the winning projec ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
