Joint Non-kinetic Effects Model (JNEM)

This slide presentation reviews the development of the Joint Non-kinetic Effects Model (JNEM), which is tool to support Battle Command Training that links simulation-generated non-kinetic events and outcomes to Training Audience Command and Staff decisions. JNEM helps create the operating environment for the following population groups (P-groups): (1) Local Civilians on the Battlefield, (2) Inter-Governmental Organizations (3) Non-Governmental Organizations (4) Contractors on the battlefield.

Adding intelligent services to an object oriented system

As today's software becomes increasingly complex, the need grows for intelligence of one sort or another to becomes part of the application, often an intelligence that does not readily fit the paradigm of one's software development. There are many methods of developing software, but at this time, the most promising is the object oriented (OO) method. This method involves an analysis to abstract the problem into separate 'objects' that are unique in the data that describe them and the behavior that they exhibit, and eventually to convert this analysis into computer code using a programming language that was designed (or retrofitted) for OO implementation. This paper discusses the creation of three different applications that are analyzed, designed, and programmed using the Shlaer/Mellor method of OO development and C++ as the programming language. All three, however, require the use of an expert system to provide an intelligence that C++ (or any other 'traditional' language) is not directly suited to supply. The flexibility of CLIPS permitted us to make modifications to it that allow seamless integration with any of our applications that require an expert system. We illustrate this integration with the following applications: (1) an after action review (AAR) station that assists a reviewer in watching a simulated tank battle and developing an AAR to critique the performance of the participants in the battle; (2) an embedded training system and over-the-shoulder coach for howitzer crewmen; and (3) a system to identify various chemical compounds from their infrared absorption spectra.

The Hot and Cold Wars of the Enola Gay

When the B-29 Superfortress with tail number 44-86292 rolled off the assembly line, no one could have predicted its role in history. Known as the Enola Gay, the bomber carried Little Boy to Hiroshima, helping to end World War II. After the war, largely forgotten and neglected, the Enola Gay once more achieved notoriety, this time at the center of a battle to define its legacy and that of World War II. Personally selected by Colonel Paul Tibbets, the commanding officer of the 509 th Composite Group, 44-86292 was flown to Wendover Airfield in Utah, the training base of Tibbets’ organization. In July 1945, 44-86292 was flown to the Pacific Island of Tinian, where it completed eight training and two combat missions. Tibbets, who seldom flew the bomber, took the controls on July 31 st for a simulated nuclear combat mission. On August 5 th , Tibbetts named 44-86292 the Enola Gay, in honor of his mother, and then piloted the bomber to Hiroshima on August 6 th . When publicity pictures were released, the Enola Gay became famous, ultimately destined for the Smithsonian.
