2 Contents of presentation: Introduction. CDE process in Navy Transformation. New focus on CAX technology. Architecture of CAX support environment. Role of CAX in CDE. CoE in OA capabilities in CAX support. Development of CoE in OA under SfP project. Project management in CoE in OA and implementation of the current projects. Conclusion. Opportunities for cooperation between CoE, Navy, NATO / EU and Industry.

3 Concept Development - NATO View Concept Implementation Plan Doctrine Equipment People Training Organisation Infrastructure Logistics Capability Feedback Facts Experimentation Modelling & Sim Research Verification Plan Quantitative Qualitative Lessons Learned Observations

4 NATO Experimentation The process of exploring innovative methods to improve current capabilities and methods of operation, especially to assess the innovative method s feasibility, utility, and limits.

5 Why Conduct Experimentation? To inform Defence decision making To provide compelling evidence for Change To reduce/understand Complexity and Risk Limitations of other Analytical Techniques in: Representing Human Dimension Providing evidence for non Equipment interventions To produce objective, usable results as a result of an appropriate level of scientific rigour

6 Model - Test - Model Paradigm (OA) Studies (Analytical) Models/Theories New New Knowledge Knowledge Knowledge Knowledge Requirements Requirements Real World World Experiments Experiments Experimentation Knowledge Knowledge Environment of executive decision making, studies, concept definition, op. planning, procurement

7 Concepts to Capability Parallel Development Model I D E A Concept Development BULGARIAN ACADEMY OF SCIENCES Concept Refinement Capability Implementation Capability Concept Analysis Modeling & Simulation Experiments Demonstrations Exercises Doctrine, Organization, Training, Materiel, Leadership, Personnel, Facilities & Interoperability Fielded Capability

8 New focus on CAX technology BULGARIAN ACADEMY OF SCIENCES The Knowledge and Networks revolution: Acceleration driven by market forces, COTS and commoditisation Wide access to unprecedented computing power Exponential growth in bandwidth, storage, software and connectivity, in tandem with reducing cost New organisational, structural business models based on proliferation Distribution ( of assets, nodes and computing power ) and decentralisation ( edge devices eg. peer-peer, machine-to-machine )

9 Role of CAX in CD&E CAX enable inexpensive gaming for great number of scenarios CAX enable simulation of scenarios and missing players CAX enable modeling of natural and dangerous process and phenomena CAX ease communications and mediation among all levels of public, private and authority relationship CAX create conditions for quantitative measurements of group work and analysis

10 Role of CAX in CD&E CAX enable good stimulation of thinking and experimentation, as well good furnishing of documentary evidence trough the experimentation process CAX enable knowledge accumulation in time for different groups of participants, scenarios and periods CAX enable concept experimentation, technological demonstrations, testing of system architecture for decision making

11 Architecture of CAX support environment Planning and Costing Customer Scenario Development Scenario Simulation Mapping in GIS the Scenario Development Lessons Learned Analysis Documentation of Officials acts Decision making and responds of Officials

12 NATO Science for Peace Programme A nonmilitary cooperation activity under the Euro Atlantic Partnership Council Projects are of a cooperative nature, jointly carried out by scientists and end users from NATO and Partner Countries SfP Operations Research Support to Force and Operations Planning in the New Security Environment Project major purpose is building a library of models for an effective and timely scientific support in decisionmaking, CAX and MAX in Crisis Management Systems
