|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| WHIP | Desire To Have Multiple WHIP Layouts Currently you can have only one WHIP layout. The user wants named layouts similar to the Filter and views. | ||||
| Model | Air | Need Current Manual Pair Flag On IMT The current manual pair flag should be on the IMT. | |||
| WHIP | Allow User Selection Of E-mail Output Format Code exists to format e-mail output of IMT screens as either plain text with columns separated by a bar ("|"), plain text with data quoted and columns separated by a comma, plain text with columns separated by tabs, or data embedded in an HTML table. Despite the various output formats available, the code is hard- coded to a single format. It would be desirable for the end user to specify which output format they desire. | ||||
| Model | Log | Provide Capability To Select Exact Types Of Truck In A Convoy The desire is to expland the Directed Resupply Order to allow the user to indicate exactly what trucks by type and number that should be assigned to the convoy. | |||
| Model | Intel | AAR Collect All DSA Data Currently the AAR does not get the detection data for Combat Systems and wreckage seen in DSAs. A detection event is sent to the AAR via 2 JDSP objects: an AAR_DETECTION_EVENT identifies the object doing the detection, the sensor, the DSA searched if a DSA is involved, etc; a series of AAR_DETECTION_ITEMS identify each item detected, their location, and their percent capable. This provides only the most basic detection information and does not provide the detailed information expected in a DSA report including numbers and types of combat systems, wreckage, etc. | |||
| Model | Represent Impact of Jammer Altitude On Jamming Power Currently the altitude of a jammer on an aircraft or satellite is not considered as part of the jammer power degradation. The end user believes it should. | ||||
| Model | Player Orde rTo Transfer SAM/AAA TArget Supplies The players want to take supplies from a SAM/AAA target and give those suppli9es to someone else. The controller can do this from the SET TARGET PARAMETER order followed by a LOGIN BUILD order to another unit. Taiwan believes this capability should be available to the player. They don’t want the magic movement of the supplies, just the ability to take supplies away from one owned target with the Directed Resupply order and take those supplies to a different unit. | ||||
| WHIP | Order Map Selection For Barriers. Users have requested that a map select capability be added to Barrier fields within order panels. | ||||
| Model | Represent Artillery Firing Limitations Tech Control is discussing what can be done to stop the users from putting in so many explicit fire missions. The players are not comfortable with Lanchester. One idea is to add a max number of rounds that can be fired in an hour from a gun before is gets “too” hot to be used properly. | ||||
| Tools | New Air Defense AAR Report Taiwan would like a new AAR Air Defense report that lists Air Defense kills broken out by type of Air Defense Site firing and type of Aircraft kill. | ||||
| Model | Loitering Munition Landing Capability Representation The player put up a loitering munition UAV for a length of time that was beyond its flight time capability. The UAV indicated that it was not air-to-air refuelable and when fuel was needed, it found an airbase from which to get fuel. Although some loitering munition UAVs, such as the Harpy, can land, not all of these UAVs can land once they have taken off. This distinction needs to be made. | ||||
| Model | Different Aircraft Class SCores The Taiwan staff was looking over the Combat System Score data. They believe that JTLS-GO needs a score by Aircraft Class and not the generic score for Combat System Aircraft. For example, CS AIRCRAFT has a score of 40 but an Armor unit with a small UAV should not consider the UAV that important. | ||||
| Tools | Select OPM Available Pages By Side Taiwan does not want their players to see Probability of Hit (pH) and Probablity of Kill (pK) data. Each time the OPMs are generated, they manually go in and delete the pH and pK OPM pages. We informed them that this procedure works fine for JTLS-GO 6.2 but because of changes to JTLS-GO 6.3, the same procedure will not work. Fixing this problem so it meets both the needs and desired of Taiwan and the needs and desired of other units, has been placed on the JTLS-GO ECP list. | ||||
| WHIP | Generate Alert When HRU Raids ARU Land cell players would like to see an alert triangle when an HRU raids an ARU and vice-versa. Currently, only the message browser indicates the attack is occurring. | ||||
| Tools | Create An OBS File From A JTLS-GO Scenario The desire is to take an existing JTLS-GO scenario and develop a tool to create a legal JTDS OBS file that can be uploaded and shared with other JLVC Federates. | ||||
| Tools | Create A JTLS-GO Scenario From JTDS OBS File The Joint Training Data Services (JTDS) has an Order of Battle Service (OBS) that creates a unified Order of Battle for all of the federates that belong to the Joint Live Virtual Constructive Federation (JLVC). JTLS-GO needs to be able to read this OBS file and create its scenario databases. Note this ECP does not address which JLVC federales with which JTLS-GO is envisioned to federate. The ECP purely request building such a scenario from the information available in and OBS file. | ||||
| WHIP | Browser Based WHIP - Or WHIP 2.0 Develop a new WHIP that has a 3D Map and Complete Redesign and works inside the browser vice stand-alone Java app | ||||
| Model | Represent Jammers On Satellites Satellites should be allowed to conduct all types of jamming operations: Weapon, Sensor, and PSYOP. | ||||
| C4I | Containerize JTLS-GO Numerous customers what a containerized version of JTLS-GO. Build it! | ||||
| Database | Support New US Air Planning Tool, KRADOS The US is developing a new Air Planning Tool that will be used to plan and publish daily Air Tasking Orders. This new system is called Kessel Run All Domain Operations Suite (KRADOS). JTLS-GO needs to be able to link and accept ATOs from this new system. | ||||
| WHIP | Allow Users To Change Their Own Password Currently if a user wants to change his or her password, they must call Tech control to reset the password to the Default password and then relog in to give themselves a new password. Take Technical Control out of this process. | ||||
| Model | Navy | Add Spoofing of Ship Positions to Mimic AIS It would be nice to use the model to spoof the positions of ships. This capability would mimic the ability to hide ships using AIS. | |||
| Model | Log | Controller Damage Supplies Order Improvements This ECP provides for expanding the options available to a Controller on the DAMAGE SUPPLIES order. Currently, the order only includes the option to enter a single supply category, how much to damage, and a text reason. The result is that the single supply is damaged for one unit. The following change is requested: the Controller can submit a list of Supplies that should be destroyed. | |||
| Tools | Request for Unit Tables in OPM By Unit Type A player in the Naval Cell requested the ability to view a list of ALL Naval Units in the game. This table should be searchable and filtered to find units by their attributes (such as ship class or by prototype). This proposal should be generalized to allow the user to select subsets of all units by filtereing by unit type (such as GROUND, SQUADRON, NAVAL, etc.). | ||||
| Model | Navy | Better Representation Of Sonobuoy Fields Currently in JTLS-GO to represent a sonobuoy field, the database builder needs to create a mission load that has the sonobuoy supplies. They must be available for the mission launch. In addition, the mission should be given a sonobuoy sensor. When the mission leaves the Patrol area, the sonobuoys are considered ineffective and are not really represented. It would be more realistically modeled where they remain active for their lifespan and can communicate what they hear back to the mission that emplaced the buoy, a follow-on mission or even a nearby ship. | |||
| Database | Give Factions Colors Different From Force Color Want to have factions with their own color. | ||||
| Tools | COA - Course of Action in ATO Would love a feature to let air tasks have some sort of comment referencing the specific COA to which it applies. For example, an offensive air support mission with 3 different targets, the tasking of which depends on other happenings. If we could have some sort of comment behind the tasks, we could simply put everything in one order and then decide which ones that won't be used once we know the COA. As this was explained, Coarse Of Actions (COA) for air missions are the two or more intentions the missions may need to fly depending on events that unfold later in the game. The ATO would have the flexibility to double and triple task squadron missions. In other words, use missions to fly two or more different tasks and, at the proper time for a decision, only employ one of those tasks. I suspect JWC has considered this same option, and some procedure used to solve it. Maybe the ATO could mark a mission as a primary COA, secondary COA, etc. In this way the Translator could add the orders to separate order groups. | ||||
| WHIP | UIC in Sitrep window Selected unit in WHIP, should also display UIC in the Sitrep window. UIC is often a key-field in connected system, and now an operator needs to open the Info window and turn on the UIC column to get the UIC for a unit. | ||||
| Model | ELINT Sensors on Satellites To Report Only On DSAs Client would like to be able to use ELINT satellites to report on DSAs and only DSAs, and not on everything within detection radius of ELINT sensor. | ||||
| C4I | Exercise Log Generalization JWC wants to use the Exercise Log as a general issue log that can be used across exercises. This is a current capability of the Exercise Log, but to work as they envision, they would like to add another field called the Event. Thus each Log The Issue would be created at a specific Event so they can filter on it. This ECP also implies that if we update or change the database format we must provide an update capability. | ||||
| Model | Not All Signature Targets Have Side Signature targets such as Aircraft and Vehicle targets do not have an owning or associated unit and therefore they have no side. In a recent exercise there was a need to represent these types of targets and have a side. | ||||
| C4I | Easy Way To Create JTLS-GO Targets For ATO A given Air Tasking Order (ATO) may specify that a target be hit and the target does not exist in the scenario. An easy way to create the target is needed instead of requiring Senior Control to create the target manually. This may be a part of the MIDB Tool or even the ATO Translator. | ||||
| Model | Allow Multi-Target Attack Against Coordinates This has been brought up numerous times, but I could not find an existing ECP or Issue Log Entry. The user wants to be able to drop weapons on a specific coordinate with the Multi-Target Attack order. | ||||
| WHIP | ACMs Selectable On Map Like ICC A user requested that an ACM be selectable from the map, as ICC allows an ACM to be selected. I looked at ICC, and the outlines of each ACM is visible. If the user clicks on the outline of the ACM, then it is the selected object. Once the ACM is a selectable object, then the ACM should have a context-sensitive menu. | ||||
| Tools | Create JTOI JTLS Posture To ICC Posture Conversion Table Currently, the JTOI takes an Air Mission's posture and converts it to a posture recognizable to ICC. In a recent exercise, it was discovered that the code linked a posture of 'WAITING' to ICC 'FLYING' A mission in a WAITING Posture is on the ground and should have a closer ICC posture. The exercise audience suggested 'On Alert', but that seems misleading. Thus, the reason for an external data file that the JTOI can read and that can be changed to meet the whims of the AOC. | ||||
| WHIP | Add Time To Alert Messages Displayed On WHIP Currently, an Alert packet from the model is displayed on the WHIP. If a user is busy and does not review these alerts promptly, there is no way to determine if the alert is current or old information. A time should be placed in the alert message to help users determine if the alert information is old or new. This is related to ECP 2015-12491 requesting that the alert messages be stacked chronologically. | ||||
| Model | New Create Unit Like Order Currently, the Create Unit Order has numerous fields, only a few of which need to be unique across the game, such as name, long name, and UIC. A new Create Unit Like order would allow the user to select an existing unit, which would be used to fill in all needed data except the uniquely required data. The idea is to make it easier to create new units in the middle of the game. | ||||
| C4I | Need Link-16 JOI Capability To Change Side Of Track The end-user indicated that in the OTH-Gold JOI, the Force Side of a track can be altered. This function does not exist on the Link-16 JOI. | ||||
| Model | Task End Time For Entire Task List Currently, the model provides an estimated end task time for the current task. The desire is to have that end time computed for all tasks. The example provided by the end-user showed a series of move orders. This is an easy task, but a more complicated combination of orders such as move, shadow, mine laying, and mine- clearing becomes a difficult computation. | ||||
| Database | All DDSC To Remember Options and Filtering The DDSC needs to save its current filter and options, so the user doesn't need to reset them each time their DDSC is started. Everything the WHIP remembers, the DDSC should also remember. This includes layout save and restore feature like the WHIP has. Saving UOM preferences. | ||||
| Tools | Build ATOT Option To Ignore Air Mission Packages NATO has the concept of Air Mission Packages and CAMAOs. Th desire is to have the ATOT ignore the Air Mission Package Concept. This is not as easy as simply ignoring it. Some adjustments to the orders need to be made so it is not an Air Mission Package, but acts like an Air Mission Package. On other words Escort missions build with the names of the missions in the CAMAO for protection | ||||
| C4I | Create HRU Modified HUP Supply Calculation Currently if the user chooses to create an HRU with a modified HUP, the model provides an option to list a modified list of desired supplies. The user would also like an option for the model to compute the needed list of supplies that the modified HUP would need based on days of supplies. | ||||
| WHIP | Improve TUP/SUP/HUP Drop Down Lists a picture is worth a thousand words. On TUP/SUP/HUP WHIP drop-down lists, the user would like to see the symbol associated with the prototype. | ||||
| Model | Need Group Magic Move The desire is to Magically Move a unit and all subordinates. A single location should be required, and the top unit will go to the specified location and all subordinates would end up in the same relative position to the top unit being magic moved. | ||||
| WHIP | Database Specification For Unit Controlling WHIP Malaysia has indicated that they would prefer indicating within the database structure the WHIP that will have control of different units in the command hierarchy. | ||||
| Database | Import SQL Scripts When JTLS-GO executes on NATO Secret systems, there is limited access to the JTLS-GO server. The desire is to allow importing sql scripts from a DDSC that allow the script to insert, update, and delete records from the DDSC. | ||||
| Database | Allow Administrator To Stop DDSC Using the Synapse Command Terminal, it is possible for Technical Control to kill one or all player WHIPs. The desire is to have this same capability DDS client(s). These are ECP improvements. Currently Tech Control has no way to manage DDS clients for a running DDS Glassfish, often requiring Tech Control to shutdown the Glassfish server to make updates. This includes simple tasks such as adding a new user, stopping a user, removing or de-activating a user. There was also talk from Jacek about users not staying in their lane, by which I mean working on unit hierarchies they shouldn'tt be touching. Whether or not a hierarchy change assignment is something that JWC wants to fund as part of their DDS roles is a discussion item. | ||||
| Model | ACM Corridor Minimum / Maximum altitudes ACM Corridors need to have the ACO minimum and maximum specified and enforced. | ||||
| C4I | More Exercise Log Admin Function Control Poland's War Studies University personnel felt more control of the Exercise Log Admin functions is needed. They did not like the fact that there was only one Admin function and once logged in, all capabilities are available to all Admin users. | ||||
| Model | Put Unit In Defend For Specific Length Of Time. If a user tells a unit to go into 'Defend', the unit stops what it is doing and goes into the 'Defend' posture. As soon as the unit is in the 'Defend' posture, the task is complete, and the unit goes out of defend to execute its next task. The desire is to place an 'End Time' on the Defend order, so a unit can be told to stop executing assigned tasks for a period of time. |
