“I would foresee the JSIL being utilized potentially reaching developmental test objectives.”Ĭombined with the C5ISR Center’s DevSecOps effort, dubbed Orion Forge, the lab could also support operations rather than just operational exercises.

“You want to learn as much as you can before you have to get out in the operational environment where it’s costly and it can be very complex to understand the variables because the dynamics of that environment, understand as much as you can in the lab,” Welch said. That complemented the actual exercise, which saw a significant increase in joint participation.Īdditionally, given all the data the facility provides, officials said they are working with the Army’s testing community to reuse some of that data to feed into developmental tests for programs. Ahead of this year’s Project Convergence, there were 13 external organizations, including joint partners, that joined the lab’s efforts. As the Defense Department charts toward its new operating concept - Joint All-Domain Command and Control - the armed services will need to coordinate more on systems. Moreover, experts can remotely participate with the lab, which widens the pool of those able to contribute to JSIL’s efforts.Īnother difference between previous risk-reduction efforts and JSIL’s current approach is the inclusion of joint partners. The JSIL is able to do all of that so that we know when these systems start performing out there, if they’ve got issues or challenges, we know what the baseline looks like and we also have this capability that’s back here that’s able to troubleshoot in parallel to make as successful as we can.” “It’s a very larger area, and there’s a lot of potential for things to go wrong understanding what your baseline looks like. “If we can do it here, it doesn’t mean it will work right off the bat out in a real operational scenario, but it does mean that we know in the controlled environment these are the pieces that did work, and so it’s got to be something else that lets us target where those challenges may be,” said Joseph Welch, director of the C5ISR Center. The systems won’t always work in the field exactly as they did in the lab, but the JSIL’s modeling and simulation cuts down on tweaks needed during an exercise.
