Each Experiment planned to build on the previous Experiment driving towards increased validity for real-world operations
Constructive Simulations Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) Live Simulation (EC10)
 M&S environment based on real world processes, capabilities, and environments
 Measures solutions against a baseline representing current persistent surveillance practices
 Runs are executed with varied combinations of scenarios, weather, and sensor packages
 Human decision-making introduced to further test solutions
 Builds on Constructive
Simulation results
 Solutions carried forward
 Additional solutions which require human input are tested
 Premier ISR event for DoD
 High visibility capstone event to demonstrate JIPS solutions
 JIPS leverages EC10 as a high fidelity HITL environment
Experimental Rigor is being applied to the JIPS effort to provide a traceable,
logical, and operationally valid path to recommendations

Military Problem: Deficiencies in 1) the availability and placement of sufficiently trained targeting personnel; 2) targeting automation systems interoperability; 3) the management of the DoD targeting enterprise; 4) and the management of targeting support prevent the efficient execution of the joint targeting cycle as necessary to meet Joint Force Commander requirements. [Based on CFWG Study]
• Developed and validated solutions to deficiencies in joint targeting process
• Cross cutting initiatives to improve training and education, JFC targeting support, and automation
• Joint Targeting Support Center (JTSC) concept
• Leveraged Service, Combat Support
Agency, COCOM, Joint Staff experts
• LOE validated value of centralizing select joint targeting functions
• VCJCS implemented following recommendations:
• Institutionalization of Cross-Cutting Initiatives (JS/J7)
• Organizational CONOPS (JFCOM)
• Capabilities Based Assessment on organizational and functional solutions in the
CONOPS (STRATCOM)
