Integrated Battlefield Effects Research for the National Training Center. Appendix E. Requirements Design Specification and Demonstration Report for the Exercise Coordination and Control (ECC) Demonstration System

Abstract : Research performed to evaluate and develop enhancements for integrated battlefield training at the U.S. Army National Training Center is described. The proof of concept demonstration for the Integrated Battlefield Command and Control Simulation (IBCCS) system will show the capability of taking data from both live and simulated histories and combining them at a Division level station -- called the Exercise Coordination and Control (ECC) station. The primary purpose of the demonstration will be to verify the ECC concept and show the feasibility of combining live and simulated data for the purpose of training the Brigade staff. To conduct the demonstration, software modifications will be required to both the Core Instrumentation Subsystem 500 Player system and the battle simulation model. Software will also have to be provided for the ECC history. This document defines the required software additions and modifications.
