Effects-based operations (EBO) are proving to be a vital part of current concepts of operations in military missions and consequently need to be an integral part of current generation wargames. EBO focuses on producing effects from military activities, as opposed to the direct result of attacking targets. Alternatively, the emphasis of conventional wargames is focused on attrition-based modeling and is incapable of assessing effects and their contribution to the overall ...
The Joint BattleSpace Infosphere (JBI) is an information management concept developed by the Air Force Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) to address information management challenges in a military environment. Throughout the ensuing years the Systems and Information Interoperability Branch (AFRL/IFSE) has performed research in information management that has further refined the original JBI concepts and has demonstrated how those concepts may be applied to achieve system interoperability. A JBI comprises many ...
System interoperability continues to be one of the key challenges facing the DoD as new capability is developed and fielded while maintaining operation with existing legacy systems. The concept of a Joint Battlespace Infosphere (JBI) was first created in 1999 by the US Air Force (USAF) Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) to address a clear lack of information engineering and interoperability within and among existing, traditionally stove-piped fielded capability. Throughout the ...
The Air Force is developing a concept known as the Joint Battlespace Infosphere (JBI) in order to achieve information superiority. The JBI builds on the Global Information Grid and will move the state-of-the-art in information management into information-centric warfare. JBI will address more than five million information objects, thousands of users and provide scalability challenges for currently available information management hardware and software systems and drive design requirements to create ...
