The challenge of the AMRDEC JAMUS 08 experiment involved developing a capability to test and evaluate the maturity of the Rapid Battlespace Deconfliction (RBD) capability in the Future Combat System (FCS) Battle Command Systems (BCS) in a relevant end-to-end environment for a software Technology Readiness Level 6 (TRL-6) evaluation.

The AMRDEC team met this challenge by integrating OneSAF 2.1 with SoSCOE 2.1 Standard Edition. Rather than using typical interoperability protocols such as DIS or HLA for the integration, the team utilized SoSCOE Interface Definition Language (IDL) to build the interfaces between OneSAF and RBD, the unit under test. This resulted in an interface between the simulation and the unit under test that completely mimicked the actual interfaces.

This paper describes the demands on the simulation for network fires, data collection and visualization, and run-time monitoring. In addition, the paper discusses the lessons learned in developing the evaluation capability used for the TRL-6 Demonstration. Specific details of the problems encountered, configuration management, and VV&A analysis are also covered.
