Interoperability and data flow between JTLS-GO simulation system and LOGFAS logistic system during CAX (Computer Assisted Exercise) exercises

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this article is to present the results of the research concerning the possibility of interoperability between the JTLS-GO military simulation system and the LOGFAS military logistic system during Computer Assisted Exercises. The JTLS-GO system is the primary simulation system used in the Polish Armed Forced (PAF) while LOGFAS is the main logistics tool within NATO. Preparing CAXs requires extensive work in terms of building a database of military units, command and logistic structure, combat systems and supply categories. The main goal is to prepare as realistic an environment as possible enabling commanders and staff to use real IT command support systems (C4I) along with real procedures to produce orders for virtual sub-units according to the principle: “train as you plan to fight”. The main benefit of CAXs is minimal cost – a real training audience uses virtual troops in a virtual world using real procedures and decision-making processes. Logistic support is one of the most important areas implemented during such exercises, and the LOGFAS system is the main tool supporting the planning and implementation of logistical support during operations.
