Summary:

Since 1988, the Pentagon has been grappling with how to provide simulations that realistically portray joint warfare operations for training. To help meet this training need, the Defense Department (DOD) developed the Aggregate Level Simulation Protocol, a technique that allows multiple service and agency models to communicate with each other. Although the Protocol is a technological advancement, the existing warfare capabilities of the individual models is limited and the problem of providing a valid joint training environment persists. Because of these limitations and the cost and complexity of the Protocol, DOD is developing a new system--the Joint Simulation System--that is scheduled to be fully operational by 2003. Until that system is up and running, DOD plans to continue improving the Protocol. This report discusses (1) how well DOD is progressing with its development of the Joint Simulation System and (2) whether DOD's decisions to improve the Protocol are cost effective.
