Recent Experimentation News

Experiment looks to inform future joint force operations USJFCOM's Joint Concept Development and Experimentation Directorate recently completed an experiment to develop and assess processes and technical capabilities to improve the execution of joint future joint distributed operations. The experiment, running for almost two years and ending soon, brought a human element together with previous simulations conducted during the project. • Comment on this article at USJFCOMLive

Noble Resolve 07-2 aims at making communication easier

U.S. Joint Forces Command's Noble Resolve 07-2 will use modeling and simulation and long-distance virtual connections as tools to help make an experiment possible as it begins later this month to enhance homeland defense measures and military support in the event of a natural or man-made disaster. Robert Pursell has the story.

Pursell: A simulation-driven experiment meant to train and test military and first responder personnel on how they work together during natural or man-made disasters will begin later this month.

Called Noble Resolve 07-2 and sponsored by USJFCOM, the most recent phase is a part of an experimentation campaign plan supported by U.S. Northern Command to develop solutions for U.S. agencies and organizations by providing the means to deter, prevent, and defeat threats and aggression aimed at the U.S., its territories, and interests.

Noble Resolve 07-2 will use intricate computer-based models and long distance virtual connections to provide a simulated environment for participants to make decisions and work together as they would in the case of a real crisis.

By using the models, no troops or Oregon emergency personnel will actually deploy or respond to events, saving money and time. It also opens the lines of communication between all of those participating.

According to Army Lt. Col. Steve Smith, the military lead for Noble Resolve 07-2, the focus of the week-long experiment, scheduled from Aug. 20 - 24, will be to improve participants' ability to work together in an experimental environment approximating real world crisis.

Smith: The ultimate goal is for the participants that are going to be involved in Noble Resolve 07-2 to become better internally with their mission and how it applies to homeland defense and homeland security. So it's all geared towards the participants and the customers and making them better through providing them an environment to experiment inside of.

Pursell: The primary USJFCOM role for the experiment will be to provide some of the command's unique modeling and simulation tools to help create the scenarios. This will take place from the Joint Futures Lab located in Suffolk, Va.
