Army Unified Data for the M&S Enterprise (Room S330EF)

Army Unified Data for the M&S Enterprise is an AMSO-led approach to providing a consistent, standard data delivery format to instantiate models across the M&S Enterprise in order to provide simulation-sufficient data from authoritative sources. This project focuses on the interoperability of force structure data, performance data, Mission Command / M&S data alignment and access of terrain data holdings. The project is comprised of four Lines of Effort (LOEs): LOE1 – Decisive Action Training Environment (DATE) Force Structure Data: Providing unclassified Red/Green & later Blue Force Structure for persistent use within the Army Org Server (Sponsor: TRADOC G27, Host: PEO EIS). LOE2 – M&S and Mission Command Data Fusion/Alignment: Providing aligned M&S and Mission Command system data to allow instantiation/ ingestion from a single data build (sponsor: AMSO, hosts: SIMCI, ARL UT, and MITLL). LOE3 – M&S Terrain Data: Developing a One World Terrain geospatial data store with enterprise distribution portal, and a Geospatial Co-producer Certification Program (sponsor: AGC, host: CFT STE, TCM ITE, and PEO STRI). LOE4 – Unclassified Performance Data: Sponsor: Providing unclassified Performance Data, to pair with the LOE 1 Force Structure effort for persistent use within the Army Org Server (sponsor: TRADOC G27, hosts: AMSAA and PEO EIS). Army Unified Data is in accordance with the Vice Chief of Staff of the Army and Assistant Deputy Chief of Staff G-8’s specific guidance to “build once and reuse often” by focusing on the consistency of data from authoritative sources for M&S implementation while concurrently aligning M&S to the operational community.
