SRA provides analytic support to defense transformation through several modeling and analysis efforts. The project heavily dependent on knowledge of command and control capabilities and modernization is the Time Sensitive Targeting/Dynamic Targeting (TST/DT) model. Command and Control (C2) is recognized as the backbone for the TST/DT process. C2 functions are performed through an arrangement of personnel, equipment, communications, facilities, and procedures employed by a commander in controlling forces and operations in the accomplishment of the mission; therefore SRA has invested heavily in accurately capturing all portions of the C2 process relevant to TST/DT that can be modeled.
SRA uses ExtendSim, a commercial-off-the-shelf modeling environment, to develop a baseline model reflecting the latest Air Force Operational Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (AFOTTP 2-3.2), including improvements from experiences in Operations Enduring Freedom (OEF) and Iraqi Freedom (OIF). SRA has used this baseline model to compare actual and exercise operations in various theaters and has used the model to analyze the performance of several initiatives in the Joint Expeditionary Force Experiment 2004 (JEFX 04). A logical out growth from this baseline TST/DT model is the development of a prototype Dynamic Targeting Debrief Tool (DT2).
