Team 2: Simulation of Technical Aspects in Network-Centric Operations: Results

from Scythe : Proceedings and Bulletin of the International Data Farming Community, Issue 1 Workshop 13The German Federal Office of Defense Technology and Procurement, has been analyzing the influence of networked sensors and effectors on military capabilities. Background for the actual technical evaluations of sensors, effectors and the connecting network is the scenario vignette: Convoy Protection as part of an over all scenario PSO in an urban environment

Team 4: Influencing Insurgent SVBIED Operations Using Traffic Control Points Enhanced with Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) Employment Strategies

from Scythe : Proceedings and Bulletin of the International Data Farming Community, Issue 6 Workshop 18Insurgents have effectively employed asymmetric tactics, such as the use of suicide bombers, as viable threats in urban environments. These threats are often devastating in their physical and emotional effects. They are hard to detect and have proven difficult to thwart or defeat. The U.S. Army has recognized that improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) pose a persistent and devastating threat, impacting unit operations, U.S. policy and public perception (U.S. Army, 2005)

Team 4: Agent-Based Sensor-Effector Modeling

from Scythe : Proceedings and Bulletin of the International Data Farming Community, Issue 4 Workshop 16Team Proposal: During previous Data Farming workshops, different representatives of the German Federal Office of Defense Technology and Procurement and EADS were concentrating on the simulation of technical aspects in network centric operations (NCO). In the respective working groups, the main focus was on analyzing the influence of networked sensors and effectors on military capabilities and the operational outcome

Team 13: Modelling Technical Aspects of NCO (Convoy Protection)

from Scythe : Proceedings and Bulletin of the International Data Farming Community, Issue 2 Workshop 14The German Federal Office of Defense Technology and Procurement has been analyzing the influence of networked sensors and effectors on military capabilities. The background of our overall scenario is peace support operations (PSO) in an urban environment. The background for the actual technical evaluations of sensors, effectors and the connecting network is the following scenario vignette: Convoy Protection

Team 4: Evaluation of electro-optical sensor systems in network centric operations using ABSEM 0.3

from Scythe : Proceedings and Bulletin of the International Data Farming Community, Issue 7 Workshop 19The development of the agent-based sensor and effector model ABSEM was started in 2008 by EADS on behalf of the German Federal Office of Defence Technology and Procurement. Since then it has been continuously enhanced and at IDFW19 version 0.3 was released. The model concentrates on modeling complex technical aspects in NCO and to do so, it integrates detailed physical theories when it comes to simulating the output of various sensors and when determining the effect of different weapon systems. The new model version is characterized by more sophisticated effector modeling and extended possibilities regarding the setup of the agents' behavior. Furthermore it contains a first radar model implementation

Team 4: Evaluation of Electro-optical Sensor Systems in Network Centric Operations using ABSEM 0.2

from Scythe : Proceedings and Bulletin of the International Data Farming Community, Issue 6 Workshop 18The German Federal Office of Defense Technology and Procurement (BWB) is interested in analyzing the influence of networked sensors and effectors on military capabilities in network centric operations
